Why did you determine to run for Senate?

Etenson: I made a decision to run for the Senate as a result of I consider in Freedom.  My experiences in each agriculture and well being care have proven me how an over burdensome authorities and rules can hurt our lifestyle.  Extra authorities means much less freedom.  The previous couple of years, I watched as the federal government turned extra tyrannical, and our present State Senator repeatedly didn’t defend our particular person freedoms.  I consider power on the State stage can shield us from federal overreach.

What shall be your foremost aim you want to accomplish in the event you have been to win the election?

My foremost aim within the Senate can be to carry the road on authorities overreach and shield our particular person liberties.  If we will do these two issues, future generations may have the hope of residing the American Dream.

What modifications do you see have to made for the state of North Dakota and the way do you are feeling you particularly would be capable of accomplish this within the Senate?

We have to be sure that there are alternatives for enterprise and folks to want to stay on this state.  The local weather will not draw them…that’s for certain! If we do what we are saying and preserve taxes low, authorities small, and shield their particular person freedoms, I consider they may keep or come. 

How will your expertise working/residing in the neighborhood put together you for this potential position?

I consider every little thing in life teaches us issues that put together us for the subsequent issues.  I’ve raised 5 kids whereas farming/ranching and nursing.  That’s  lots of juggling and prioritizing. It is also budgeting. My kids have typically heard the query, “Is {that a} need or a necessity?” I am fairly frugal and I promise to spend the states cash in the identical method. I perceive that ND has the best spending and the best earnings per capita within the nation. I feel that sounds fairly good for ND, however perhaps we needs to be spending in a different way. Perhaps non-public property taxes may very well be nonexistent on this state. That may draw a number of extra folks to ND!

What’s the foremost factor you’d say you need voters to know earlier than the election June 14?

I consider that authorities is not the answer to each downside.  I consider in particular person duty. How do people study to be sturdy, self-sufficient people if their households or the federal government proceed to resolve their each downside? In nursing, we have been taught to by no means do for the affected person what they may do for themselves. I feel this pertains to folks generally.

If there was one phrase that describes you, what would that one phrase be?

Just one phrase to explain me is tough. Religion. It’s an important.
