No tax on tips, I’m for that. No tax on overtime, I’m for that. The expanded child tax credit, I’m for that. No tax on social security, I’m for that. I want to continue to bring taxes down. My opponent on the other hand thinks the answer to every issue in…

There is one endorsement that I care about and that is the one that happens on Nov. 3; truly, this is about Minnesota. I am happy to say I will stand up to my party when I believe in something.
The playing field has not been even, and it's been both sides of the (political) aisle, quite frankly, that have led to this. This was not about peaceful protesting. This was about violence and criminal conduct. And she should know because she has…
I am going to Washington to be an equal opportunity pain in the ass to any corrupt, career politician. I don’t care which side of the aisle they’re on or what office they hold. This historic fraud happened under her watch, and suddenly she’s looking out for…

The more that Minnesotans learn about me and my opponent and see what my opponent has failed to do over the last eight years alongside [Democratic Gov.] Tim Walz they're understanding Minnesota needs change. We need fresh ideas, we need an independent…
I’m a first trimester gal, if you want to call it that.
A politician who cannot even say the phrase ‘Somali gang violence’ will never fix this problem. ‘We have to be honest, we do have a Somali gang problem,’. I’m honored that the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association has endorsed me and not my…
