Common sense solutions for the challenges facing District 48 families
District 48 deserves a State Senator who focuses on solving real problems, not scoring political points. Mark's priorities are shaped by his experience on City Council, his work with families across our communities, and data-driven analysis of what actually works.
Minnesota families are struggling with the rising cost of living while state government continues to grow. We need leaders who will prioritize taxpayer dollars, eliminate waste, and ensure every dollar is spent wisely.
Our children deserve excellent schools with well-supported teachers, modern facilities, and programs that prepare them for the future. Mark believes fully funding education is an investment in Minnesota's future, not an expense to cut.
Mark stood up for constitutional principles during an ICE incident in Chanhassen in subzero temperatures, when no one else did. He believes government must operate transparently and respect civil liberties for everyone, regardless of politics or partisan pressure.
Our lakes, parks, and natural spaces define District 48's quality of life. Mark believes we have a responsibility to preserve these treasures for future generations while supporting smart, sustainable economic growth.
Safe communities require supporting law enforcement while also investing in prevention, mental health response, and addressing root causes of crime. Mark believes in smart, comprehensive approaches to public safety.
