Gina Bauman for State Senate

As a small business owner with a corporate finance background I have first-hand knowledge of the hardships that excessive taxes and unnecessary regulation cause business owners. Like many owners of residential and commercial property I have experienced the hardships that annual tax and fee increases impose on our ability to support our families and maintain our businesses.

As a twice-elected member of city government I have fought against the bureaucratic processes that make the legitimate duties and obligations of government unnecessarily costly and cumbersome to fulfill. I have made a positive difference as a member of city government and am now looking to help solve some of the many problems our state faces as a citizen legislator.

The career politician who currently holds the seat for Senate District 50 seems to have a sense of entitlement to the office and uses it largely to advance his own political career and the liberal DFL party agenda. I am looking to return the office back to serving the people of Senate district 50 and Minnesota. Decisions and policies implemented by government will have significant ramifications, either positive or negative, for years to come and will impact not only us but also our children and grandchildren. It is critical to elect someone who will make the right decisions and promote good policy rather than nurturing their political career.

I believe that all levels of government should serve the people, not the other way around, which is why I am committed to fight hard to win the election and to represent you in the State Senate in an effective and honorable way. I know that it will not be easy as the DFL is not known to give up their political power without a fight, but I am confident that I can help the residents of District 50 bring our Senate seat back to the people.
