Jimmy Gordon for House
Jimmy's Principles
Limited Government and Term Limits
I want to keep government out of our lives as much as humanly possible. I'll fight for less government and more freedom in every area. Sixteen states in the US have some form of term limits on their legislative bodies. Minnesota should be next.
Parental Rights & Education
Instead of a top-down approach to education we need to take power from the state and give more power to our parents and local school boards to decide what's being taught in their schools. We need to protect our students from Progressive ideologies regarding sexuality, gender and Critical Race Theory. We need to be encouraging school choice through education tax credits or a carefully structured school voucher program.
Taxes and the Economy
We need to cut red tape and wasteful spending to encourage business growth and lower taxes. We shouldn't be subsidizing businesses with your hard-earned money, and we need to let the free market work.
Pro Life
I believe life begins at conception and abortion kills a human being with potential. We need to protect life in every stage from conception to a natural death.
Second Amendment
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution says, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." Seems pretty self explanatory to me.
Law Enforcement
We need to celebrate our police officers and the sacrifices they and their families make for our communities. We can't thank them enough. I'll stand up to Governor Walz and the Progressive Left's defund the police agenda.
Health Care
Our healthcare is a mess! We need to be thinking of outside the box ideas that will reduce the strain on the system and our great health care workers. We also need to reduce government involvement wherever possible. We should be encouraging things like Direct Contracting where people pay their doctor an annual rate for basic medical care.
Election Integrity
We need to be looking for ways to increase election integrity. This should be a bipartisan issue. Democrats complained in 2016 and Republicans complained in 2020. We need to pass Voter ID. There should also be more hand counting of ballots to verify voting machine totals before the ballots ever leave the precinct they are cast in and we should be making cast vote records publicly available. A cast vote record is a pdf of the ballot and how it was calculated by the voting machine. That way anyone who wants to verify the results of an election for themselves would be able to do so. We need to restore trust in our elections.
