                        U.S. Senate Candidate Karin Housley

Karin Housley, U.S. Senate candidate for the November 2018 elections, attended the WCR breakfast at The Lake Elmo Inn as the featured speaker.

Housley believes that taxpayers should be respected, veterans should be remembered, and seniors should be properly cared for.

As Senator and Chair of the Aging and Long Term Care Committee, Karin fought to keep our seniors safe and eliminate government waste.

Karin is aware that government regulations make it difficult for businesses to thrive. She understands that businesses need to be supported as they create jobs for our citizens. Small businesses need lower taxes and fewer government obstacles to succeed.

Improving and repairing our infrastructure so that it is safe as well as serviceable to all citizens is another issue for Housley.

She is excited for Minnesota citizens who are benefiting from Trump’s tax reform.

Housley believes that we need to hit the pause button on immigration: we need to find out who is here before we move forward. She supports building the wall and securing our borders.

“We have the opportunity to turn Minnesota RED. We can be a state that is about liberty and freedom, not taxation and unreasonable spending. This will only be possible with your involvement.”

“I am running because for too long, Washington elites have gotten away with doing whatever they want. I will look after those that have been forgotten, just like I have in Minnesota. The times are changing, and it is time for there to be a new voice for Minnesota in Washington, D.C…when you have things you truly believe in, you have to fight for them.”

Housley currently represents Senate District 39, which includes Stillwater, Forest Lake, Lake Elmo, Bayport, Oak Park Heights and the surrounding St. Croix Valley. She now serves as chairwoman of the Aging and Long-Term Care committee, Vice-Chair of the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee and serves on the Veterans and Military Affairs, and Jobs and Economic Growth Committees.

Comments Off on January 13, 2018 WCR Speaker – Phillip Parrish
by WCR Program Chair Linda Stanton

Phillip Parrish, Gubernatorial candidate was the featured speaker at the Washington County Republicans breakfast on January 13, 2018. Phillip is a former teacher, principal, and more recently a U.S. Naval Intelligence Specialist. Phillip brings a unique perspective and interest in keeping Americans in Minnesota safe.

Under Phillip’s administration, Minnesotans will no longer fund jihadists through the exploitation of social programs. We will no longer train ill-intented people for nefarious and terrorist activities. We will not provide refuge to illegals, illicit front companies, and foreign non-government organizations. We will no longer spend tax-payer money for the immigration relocation program, 750 million dollars of which was spent in 2016.

Phillip’s top priorities are to support private healthcare programs through access to care and private insurance; to cut individual and corporate taxes including removing the “death tax” policies; to expose and remove policies that promote sanctuary cities and programs; to end taxpayer funded programs that threaten life (conception to natural death); to end programs that promote foreign government interest and policies; to rescind executive orders that over-burden small and large businesses; to challenge Minnesota education programs and restore our place as the gold standard in the nation and to make extraordinary efforts to modernize our transportation, energy, and communication infrastructure.

A cornerstone to Phillip’s life is a life of service. He has volunteered for countless church and community youth programs as a teacher, music leader, and mentor for more than 30 years.
