I have been working hard for Minnesotans, our communities and our future at the local, state, national and international levels for decades. I will especially work hard in serving and addressing the needs of my constituents in Prior Lake, Jordan, Jackson Township, Louisville Township, Sand Creek Township, parts of Shakopee, and Spring Lake Township.
Switching from being a Fortune 500 corporate auditor to improving government systems to better serve Minnesotans and communities including where people work, learn, and thrive – I’ve advocated for all at the Minnesota legislature and in Congress with bi partisan support. I covered the areas of: Affordable Healthcare; Affordable Housing; Agriculture; Business & Commerce (local, State, National and International); Help and Services for people of all ages and abilities, Education (world class), life-long learning opportunities; Jobs & Economic Development, Investments; Public Safety, Justice; Services; State & local government working for you; Taxes working for you; Transportation; Veterans, Military Affairs, and families; the list goes on.
Originally from Hawaii, my family heritage of serving the United States since the 1900s included veterans and military service in WWI, WWII and other US duties to protect our democracy, our country, our states, our people, our future. My mission continues in proving help where needed through improving policies, legislation and conditions whereby communities, schools, businesses, other entities, and people thrive.
These include but are not limited to:
- Providing safe and secure communities and environments where people can live, work, thrive, and build for the future.
- Supporting economic development that builds our economy, strengthens our communities, and enriches our lives and living for generations.
- Providing world class education and life long learning opportunities that prepares students of all ages lifetime success at all levels including nationally and internationally.
- Infrastructures, services, and innovations in healthcare and housing that promotes healthy living and longevity.
