Brian Grogan, Candidate for Minnesota State House representing District 43B

I want to represent your values and beliefs in St Paul. I believe it is important that we build a strong economy, maintain fiscal discipline and bring a new vision to St. Paul. First, by building a strong economy we insure Minnesota continues to be a great place for us and our children to live out our dreams.

I believe it is important that we build a strong economy, maintain fiscal discipline and bring a new vision to St. Paul.

We accomplish this by recognizing foremost that undue regulations and heavy tax burdens inhibit the ability of our businesses to grow and add jobs. Secondly, like many families know, fiscal discipline is about knowing how to prioritize our spending bills, staying within our budget and maintaining our credit rating. And, bringing a new vision means a willingness to try new approaches for solving old problems.

• Control government spending.
• No new tax increase.
• Reduce business regulations.
• Stronger performance within our schools and academic accountability.
• Job creation.
• Market base health care reform.

I am committed to building a stronger Minnesota for us. We can come together on these issues and I will strive to the best of my abilities to build a bipartisan approach to solving our problems.

If you have any questions or wish to know more, please feel free to call me or email me at brian@vote4briangrogan.com .

Lastly, it would be greatly appreciated if you could volunteer and be a financial supporter.
