What Heather Cares About

These are the core issues upon which I am running. I know, there are a lot of issues of great importance to rural Minnesotans; however, these are the topics I am most concerned about at this time:

Sustainable Long-Term Care

Protecting our nursing homes, assisted livings, and home health care is vital for our seniors, people with disabilities, their families and caregivers, and our communities.

Strong Local Economies & Thriving Small Businesses

Defending your livable wages while protecting our small businesses because our rural communities and local economies depend on it.

Family Farms & Our Environment

A champion for your family farms and our environment because I believe in protecting our rural lands and local family farms.

Supporting Public Schools

Supporting our public school districts and our dedicated education professionals.

Protecting the Rights of All

Protecting the rights for all to be who you are, love who you love and control your healthcare decisions, because you should have the freedom to make your private health decisions, not the government.

I'm honored and excited to be endorsed by the following organizations:
