I'm Mark von Oven, and I'm running for State Senate because District 48 deserves a leader who focuses on solving problems, not scoring political points.
On Chanhassen City Council, I've proven I can bring people together to get results. Now I'm ready to bring that same common sense leadership to St. Paul.
District 48 deserves a State Senator who brings people together to solve real problems, not someone who divides us for political gain. As a City Councilmember, I've proven I can find common ground, listen to all voices, and deliver results that make our communities stronger.
Whether it's managing budgets responsibly, investing in our schools, or standing up for constitutional principles when it matters most, I'm committed to leadership that puts people before politics.
Our community deserves a State Senator who will:
"Leadership isn't about making the loudest noise. It's about bringing people together, finding common ground, and getting things done."
