It is my privilege to represent the citizens of House District 50B in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

I’m deeply rooted in Bloomington, which I have served for over 25 years as a City Councilmember, Planning Commissioner, Housing & Redevelopment Commissioner, Metropolitan Councilmember and, for the past six years, as the Representative for the western part of the City in the Minnesota House of Representatives.

I currently serve on the Transportation, Health, Tax, Property Tax and Veterans Committees where I have leveraged my life experiences in economics, information technology, local government, transportation and healthcare to became a legislative leader on subjects including health care access and cost control, transportation, housing policy and and consumer data privacy. (My comprehensive Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act passed, this year, with broad bi-partisan support.) A member of the bi-partisan Civility Caucus, I have cultivated a reputation for pursuing a thoughtful bi-partisan approach to legislating which incorporates the suggestions of all stakeholders to achieve consensus on carefully considered legislation, even on these complex topics.

You’re invited to review my stance on key issues in the Issues section of my website and my personal legislative initiatives in the Steve’s Legislation section.

For the election, I’ve also created a Voter Resources page with one-stop shopping for everything you need to know to cast your vote between now and Tuesday, November 5th, including polling locations and hours, sample ballots, League of Women Voters videos and Candidate Guides.
