Strong work on issues that affect all of us

Affordable health care
Our top priority is affordable, universal health care. This means a public insurance system that treats everyone the same; holds down prices; eliminates paperwork waste and duplication of expensive equipment; and takes decision making out of the hands of private insurance companies. The end result? Everyone is covered, regardless of your work situation, and families pay less than before.

Prescription Drug Prices:
One important part of the health care crisis is runaway drug prices. We are working to bring them down, both at the state level and the national level.

Living Wage jobs
In order for Northeast Minnesota to have a viable future, we need living wage jobs to support families. We're working to require decent wages from subsidized businesses, and encourage self-sustaining job growth through local-based smaller businesses that are loyal to the community and want to treat their workers fairly. We're all in this together!

Greater Minnesota Health Care Coalition
In our efforts to win affordable health care for all, we are not alone! We are part of a growing statewide group called the Greater Minnesota Health Care Coalition, with whom we push for reforms at the state legislature, and also in Congress.
