| Most important issue: | Above all else, we must cut energy costs to help Minnesota's middle class. We must have an all-of-the-above energy strategy that increases domestic production, tapping into American energy sources, while promoting renewable energy technologies. I authored legislation to cut red tape to access energy reserves that have been off-limits offshore, in ANWR and elsewhere. I also authored legislation providing tax incentives for renewable energy - biodiesel, solar, wind and more. My priorities have always been the pocketbook issues of hardworking families, reducing your tax burden, reforming wasteful ways of Washington and helping small business create jobs and grow the economy. | |
