My life is one long curve, full of turning points.

Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant. No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.

The state has no business in the bedrooms of the nation.

I appeal to everyone who understands what it is to have kids in school, have a mortgage, to work for a living; to have someone in their family or in their life who is less-abled and who is going to need help from the government.

A man's natural rights are his own, against the whole world; and any infringement of them is equally a crime, whether committed by one man, or by millions; whether committed by one man, calling himself a robber, (or by any other name indicating his true character,) or by millions, calling themselves a government.

If you live in the overlapping world of politics and media, as I am learning, anything less than full transparency can potentially do you in.

When you win an election, what you really win is a chance to go to work for working families who need a voice in Minnesota.
