Dear Friends and Neighbors, If you live in the Elk River School District, you likely have met or know of School Board Members John Anderson and Mindy Freiberg. Both John and Mindy are great people who care deeply about our community and children’s future. John and Mindy were both elected to the Elk River School Board November 2022 by overwhelming margins having run on platforms of transparency, accountability, academic excellence, and pro-parental authority. Since their election, John and Mindy have lived up to their campaign promises 100% by fighting for truth and the best interests of our children. Unfortunately, since John and Mindy joined the Elk River School Board, the liberals on the board along with the superintendent have been more focused on wasting taxpayer dollars for sham investigations attempting to bully John and Mindy into silence than focusing on ensuring our children receive a top notch education. | Monday this week, the school board heard conclusions of their months-long sham investigation into John and Mindy. The investigative complaints included: - Being late for a meeting
- Being unprepared for a meeting by not submitting questions in advance
- Talking to state legislators without authority
- Meeting with residents/constituents in the community
- Speaking badly of the superintendent
As discussion of the findings ensued, there were moments I had to remind myself I was indeed watching the official proceedings of a school board meeting in our community and not a clown show. It was so apparent John and Mindy are being harassed by other board members, the superintendent, and district lawyer. As we know, there is a battle across our state and country against truth by those actively pushing perverted content into the classrooms of our children and undermining parental authority while doing so. Our community strongly believes in family values over government values, and John and Mindy are working hard standing for truth, academic achievement, and empowerment. I’m among the thousands across our community who proudly stand should-to-shoulder in support of the great work John and Mindy are fighting for! | The attack on religious liberty continues. | Big-pharma and big-medicine CANNOT be entrusted with our personal privacy and it's an outrage Americans' private information would be shared with government without a warrant. Moreover, nefarious agents of government should NOT be usurping our 4th Amendment protections! | But, the most important thing to understand is the tax-and-spend Democrats seizing more and more of your hard-earned money simply DO NOT CARE about the negative impact to your family finances or rising cost of living. | Ah yes, the latest freeway-shutdown strategy by those seeking to convince you of their position. Are you persuaded by their causing you to waste fuel and be late for appointments? | Why is Satanic-inspired hatred of the Jewish people so prevalent on many college and university campuses? (rhetorical question) | This new headline reminded me of my outrage in the early 2000s when Richfield and Best Buy colluded to use eminent domain forcefully confiscating property from unwilling seller / private party Walser Buick so Richfield could give to another private party. | Easy answer: Democrat full-control of state government burned the surplus and raised taxes growing government with Socialist programs proven to be colossal failures and financial disasters. | Saint Paul recently passed the highest sales tax in the state, enacted rent control, and has history of poor leadership with miserable financial decision making. Now, this bunch is seeking state dollars to bail them out. | Gov. Walz curses during a press conference in his attempt to manufacture outrage about IRS taxing the redistribution-of-wealth checks sent out earlier this year. Truth is, Gov. Walz LOVES taxes and wants more money confiscated from individuals and families flowing to government. Staying In Touch Each and every day I’m continuously humbled at the opportunity to represent and fight for the values and priorities of our great community!
