One Expensive Minnesota
We’ve built a calculator to show you just how much Democrats managed to take from you in one legislative session. To see your tax burden, follow the questions below.
Priorities
Economic Progress
America is in the middle of an economic crisis. Unsustainable government spending and burdensome regulations have driven up inflation and resulted in high food, energy, and housing costs — limiting the economic progress of nearly every American. That’s why we’re working to reduce wasteful spending, unleash energy abundance, and empower workers to prove prosperity is still possible and together we can reignite the American Dream.
Health Care
You deserve quality, affordable health care you can trust. Health care is too expensive, complex, and frustrating, but it doesn’t have to be. We’re committed to making health care affordable, less of a hassle, and transparent.
Education
All students deserve the opportunity to discover, develop, and deploy their unique passions and talents. Instead of limiting families to a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to education, we should expand their available choices so they can customize their student’s educational options in ways that best suit their unique needs.
Criminal Justice
Americans are rightly concerned about the impact of violent crime in communities big and small. Most crime goes unreported to police, and that which is reported remains unsolved. This means our criminal justice system is failing to provide justice to most victims and prevent victimization in the future.
Free Speech
Every American should have the power to speak, think, and act as they see fit, without hindrance from the government — as long as they’re not violating the rights of others. Yet today we too often see resistance toward a culture of free expression. We need to protect the First Amendment!
Immigration
America has lost control over its borders and its immigration system. Congress’s failure to strengthen our border and streamline lawful migration pathways created a system that undermines the rule of law and fails to meet the needs of American families, workers, and entrepreneurs. We’re focused on improving border security and immigration policies for a more effective and fair system.
