My motivation in public service has always been people, not politics. When I was first elected to Congress, Congress was completely bipartisan. When that changed and I had to choose a political party, I was a Democrat until 1992, then I became a Republican. Whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, I’ve always worked across the aisle to find the best solutions for the people I represent. This is the approach I will bring to Washington, following in the footsteps of Bill Frenzel, Jim Ramstad, and Eric Paulsen, who have long represented this district with an independent and balanced outlook.
People are looking for solutions now. I’ve personally door-knocked and spoken to more than 100,000 people in this region, and I know we are united in our desire to keep life safe and affordable. . I put together a plan to Make Minnesota Affordable Again. That plan includes four policies that economists agree will help curb inflation and restart the economy. It means cutting wasteful government spending, increasing access to clean and affordable energy, lowering taxes, and creating more good-paying jobs. . For more information about my plans, please visit tadjude.com. We will also work to secure borders and improve public safety.
I believe my experience solving problems for Minnesotans is needed now, which is why I’m running for Congress. I was involved in establishing the statewide 911 program and the current structure of the Minnesota Appellate Court and Supreme Court. I also championed many environmental protection programs and helped create miles of trails and several parks within the district. We are lucky to be able to shape the Minnesota we love.
I have a vision for the promise of Minnesota, and I take the job of restoring that promise very seriously. I’m running to bring a steady, experienced voice to Washington that provides real solutions to today’s struggles.
The people of District 3 are thoughtful and independent. Even if we don’t agree on everything, I know that we agree on enough things to come together and restore the path to the American Dream for our families and generations to come. Tradition and heritage are important in Minnesota’s Third District. We ask for your support in this election so that we can continue our tradition of strength and community by working together.
