Campaign Questions
What makes you the best candidate to represent your party and win the general election? (Character limit: 1000)
Answer Unlike the incumbent candidate I have vigorously opposed Donald Trump for 28 years when I told an earlier Republican Congressional Endorsing convention that people like Trump were the future of the party if it didn’t change tack. My exact words can be found on my campaign webpage. It is the recognition of the damage Donald Trump has done that sets me apart from the incumbent. There will be a great reduction in Republicans after the fall election. My presence will be a change. I admire Democrats but recognized that their impulses will need tempering.
What policies or actions should the federal government take, if any, in the next six months to address how COVID-19 has impacted the economy, the unemployment rate, and people’s ability to pay their everyday living expenses? (Character limit: 1000)
Answer The next six months are Donald Trump’s to sow more seeds of incompetence. What should be done if the Congress can get its act together is further financial protection for those about to be evicted, hospitalized and bankrupted. This includes a shocking 70 percent of the US. population which began the pandemic with very little financial surplus to tide them over as the economy tanked. As the new Congress takes control there has to be a serious reappraisal of the uneven finances in the richest nation on earth. A first step must be assuring that all Americans have access to affordable health care.
Consider the issues of the U.S. military forces and the budget deficit. If these two issues intersected, with whom would you consult and how would you evaluate any competing interests? (Character limit: 1000)
Answer Donald Trump has had one thing right. Our overseas military engagements over the course of his and my lifetimes have been damaging to the United States and devastating to the nations we sent our blood and treasure to. Inflating the size of the military which has been Trump’s drive is, however, not productive. Diplomacy is a less expensive alternative.
Consider Minnesota’s industrial and agricultural economies and the issues of climate change and environmental protection. If these two issues intersected, with whom would you consult and how would you evaluate any competing interests? (Character limit: 1000)
Answer I will consult with all knowledgeable people. Minnesota faces unique challenges over the course of the next few decades as devastating damage is inflicted on the Earth. I believe in balance and do not object to mining but I do not believe it should be forced upon us by outside politics. That balance has been lost in the Trump years. And fresh water will be THE resource for the future in greatest demand.
We have an obligation to protect Minnesota’s waters in the event that Minnesota becomes a refuge for those fleeing climate change.
