| Most important issue: |
There are so many issues facing us in Minnesota, it would be impossible to single out only one. The biggest issue, it seems, is how we go about addressing all the others. We waste far too much time and energy with party posturing. I commit to putting my energy into researching the issues from all perspectives, listening to the experts in areas where I lack expertise, and crafting the best solutions possible, with a goal of win-win solutions wherever possible. |
