Sonja is committed to strengthening Minnesota’s small towns by investing in local infrastructure and drawing small business back. Communities like Rapidan have seen firsthand how aging infrastructure can fail, and she believes rural areas should not be left behind.

Sonja will advocate for Minnesota’s farmers by addressing rising input costs, including fertilizer, and working to reduce the impact of tariffs on agricultural producers. She believes strong agricultural communities are essential to the state’s economy and should be supported with practical, forward-looking policies.

Sonja supports a more balanced property tax system that ensures small towns see greater reinvestment from the taxes they generate. Her focus is on making sure rural communities are not disproportionately funding services in larger cities while struggling to maintain their own infrastructure.

Sonja believes government should work more efficiently and transparently by closing unnecessary loopholes and ensuring public resources are used responsibly. She supports clear, consistent standards that prioritize essential services and improve accountability at every level.

Sonja supports efforts to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Minnesotans and make healthcare more affordable and accessible. She believes that no one should have to choose between paying for medication and meeting other basic needs.
