| City of residence: |
Brook Park |
| Age: | 45 |
| Background: |
I am a project manager and I am married with three kids, one in the Army and two in high school. My family and clients rely on me daily to do the right thing. As a family we love to volunteer, hunt, fish and snowmobile. |
| Endorsements: | Republican Party of Minnesota; Republican Party Eighth District. |
| Most important issue: |
As a business owner, project manager, hunter, fisherman, scuba diver and family man, Minnesota is where I call home and the Eighth District is where I live. I love to work and play and my favorite place is in Minnesota. Because I live in the Eighth District, I see firsthand what is happening here at home. High gas prices, heating, housing, food, health care, farming, labor and tourism are all things that we care about. We need to address the concerns of the American people and give them answers, not excuses. |

| Views: |
Candidates were asked to respond to statements on five policy issues. They were given seven options: "Strongly agree", "Somewhat agree", "Have mixed feelings", "Somewhat disagree", "Strongly disagree", "Have no opinion" and "Do not wish to respond."
| Removing barriers to increased domestic oil production - by, for example, lifting restrictions on off-shore exploration and drilling - should be the federal government's top priority in responding to high gasoline prices. |
Strongly agree |
| The United States should set a specific timetable for complete withdrawal of combat troops from Iraq. |
Strongly disagree |
| The so-called Bush tax cuts now scheduled to expire in 2010 should be made permanent for all taxpayers. |
Strongly agree |
| The federal government should guarantee health insurance coverage for all Americans. |
Somewhat disagree |
| Additional revenue from fees or taxes should be raised to shore up America's transportation infrastructure, because eliminating waste and better prioritizing existing resources won't be enough. |
Strongly disagree |
