His unwavering support of pro-life and 2nd Amendment rights align with the core values of this district. He has been endorsed by the Mn Police & Peace Officers Assoc. showing his commitment to law enforcement. He is a family man with deep rooted family core values.
He has been a member of the Waseca City Planning Commission and current chair of the 4th of July Lakefest in Waseca showing his community involvement and understanding of local politics. He gives back to his community and knows how important involvement is.
Tom’s experience as Sr Educator at the US Army War College proves his ability to educate other legislators on the beliefs and needs of this district. His ability to listen and understand other’s needs has made him a great educator. The perfect person to represent us in St Paul.
