As a former commissioner of education and chair of the K-12 Finance Committee in the Minnesota House of Representatives, I have dedicated many years to advocating for a robust educational system. A strong education is not just a fundamental right; it is essential for our state’s economic growth and overall success.
During my tenure in the Minnesota House, I had the honor of representing a portion of Eden Prairie, which deepened my understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities within our educational landscape. In this context, I am proud to endorse Kirk Stensrud for the Minnesota House of Representatives, District 48A.
Stensrud’s commitment to education aligns with the needs of our community and the aspirations of our students. His dedication to enhancing educational opportunities will ensure that we continue to build a strong foundation for future generations. I believe that with Stensrud in office, we can make significant strides toward improving our educational system and, consequently, our economy.
