Hearing from You is My Priority



Dear John,



While the 8th congressional district is larger in area than many states along
the Eastern seaboard, it is a priority of mine to attend as many BPOU
conventions as I can over the weekends so I can visit and hear from as many of
you as I can. Last weekend, I was pleased to spend time at several conventions
including Chisago County’s in North Branch, Pine County’s in Hinckley, and
Carlton County’s meeting as well.



It was great to see so many friendly and familiar faces. As I shared with
them, I am actively engaged and fighting hard in Washington to combat inflation
and skyrocketing energy prices by:

* Restoring American energy and mineral dominance
* Strengthening border security
* Standing with law enforcement
* Defending Life
* Protecting our 2nd Amendment rights, and
* Rejecting the woke indoctrination that is hijacking our government and our
schools


I look forward to visiting with more of you at BPOU conventions in March!


Fighting for Border Security – to our North and South



Did you know that Minnesota shares a 547-mile border with the Canadian
provinces of Manitoba and Ontario? While I’m sure you know we had a northern
border with Canada, it’s shocking to many that it’s more than 500 miles across.
While Joe Biden’s borderless society on our southern border created
humanitarian and national security crises, we need to crack down on drug
traffickers and illegal activity on our northern border as well. That’s why I
joined the Northern Border Security caucus this week where we will raise
awareness on the importance of our northern border and the need to ensure law
and order to the north. Our nation is suffering from a drug overdose crisis and
one significant way to combat this problem is securing our borders – not just
to the south, but to our north as well. Read morehere

Criminal Justice System is Failing Minnesota



As a 23-year police officer, husband, and father, it pains me to hear victims’
stories of the skyrocketing crime in the Twin Cities and communities across
Minnesota. For too long, the state of Minnesota’s judges and prosecuting
attorneys are being too lenient on criminals. I agree with the writer of this
Star Tribune op-ed, who said: “We need the legal system to have the capacity to
investigate violent crimes when they happen so that young people are both held
accountable and get the support and treatment they need to turn their lives
around, becoming assets to our community and not detriments.” We also need to
stand with our law enforcement and ensure they have the resources need to keep
our communities safe. Read morehere

Restoring America’s Critical Mineral Dominance



In my new role as chair of the House Natural Resource’s Energy & Minerals
committee, I am proud to champion Minnesota’s natural resources and continue
fighting to restore America’s energy and mineral dominance. While the Biden
administration is promoting an extreme, anti-jobs, anti-American energy agenda,
I am proud to help lead efforts in Congress to significantly reform the
antiquated permitting process that is needlessly delaying significant projects
that could help reduce our critical mineral and energy dependence on foreign
adversaries. Our nation’s security depends on this. Read morehere
