EARLY VOTING

Learn how to vote early in-person, or by mail

Laurie and a group of supporters voted early at Minnetonka City Hall when early voting began in 2018.

You don’t need to wait until election day to cast your ballot! No-excuse absentee voting means that you can also choose to vote in-person at your city hall, or have your ballot mailed to your home. This can help you avoid long lines, or needing to take some time off of work on election day.

If you are interested in having an absentee ballot sent to your home, you can fill out the form to request a ballot here: https://mnvotes.sos.state.mn.us/ABRegistration/ABRegistrationStep1.aspx

VOLUNTEER

I love our community. For decades, I’ve proudly contributed to it as a mom and community volunteer. I want to ensure that our Eden Prairie and Minnetonka neighborhoods continue to have a high quality of life. As your state representative, I’ll advocate for thriving schools for all, strong economic opportunities for all, and a high quality and cost-effective health care system for all.

Safe and Healthy Communities 

We can keep our children and families safe by implementing proven, common-sense policies that have broad public support.

We must keep guns out of the wrong hands as well as keep our children and loved ones safe. In states that have closed the background check loopholes and have enacted “red flag laws” fewer police officers are killed by guns and fewer people are murdered by their domestic partners. There is no reason Minnesota cannot do the same. 

We must provide better oversight of care facilities to protect seniors and vulnerable adults.

We must reduce distracted driving by a hands-free cell phone bill.

We must fight the opioid epidemic by requiring pharmaceutical companies to pay their fair share for treatment and prevention.

Strong Schools

Many of us chose to live in this community because of our world-class schools. We can protect that legacy and ensure our children are prepared for the future by…

Making sure that the state never again borrows money from school districts to paper over a budget shortfall,

Expanding access to early childhood education to help close the achievement gap,

Making college more affordable by lowering tuition at public colleges and universities and allowing recent graduates to refinance their student loans.

Innovation and Economic Opportunity

Our region is home to many of Minnesota’s great businesses, both large and small. These businesses are the engines of economic opportunity.

Minnesota’s competitive edge is our brain power. We can help our businesses create and fill the jobs of the future by investing in education, science and research and making sure our young people are prepared to join the 21st century workforce.

We can also help our small businesses thrive by reducing red tape and reviewing the tax code to ensure small businesses are treated fairly.

Modern Transportation Infrastructure

To make sure Minnesota continues to be a great place to live and do business we must also build and maintain a transportation system that reduces congestion and increases transit options.

Projects like the Southwest Light Rail will make it easier for people in our district to get to work and spend less time stuck in traffic.
