Issue Position: Protecting our Natural Resources

Issue Position

Jamie is a lifelong Minnesotan who grew up deer hunting, fishing, and harvesting wild rice with her family. She knows our suburban district is unique -- with 14 different lakes! -- with many residents who value their time outside. Clean water now and in the future is incredibly important.

Jamie is the Vice Chair of the Environment & Natural Resources Policy Committee and has earned the following awards: 2017 Trailblazer Award from Minnesota Center for Environmental Advocacy, 2017 Legislative Award from Sierra Club North Star Chapter, 2018 Legislator of the Year Award from Bluffland Whitetails Association, 2019 Legislator of the Year from Clean Water Action.

Jamie serves on the Outdoor Heritage Council to make recommendations regarding spending of Legacy dollars and is a member of Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association and the National Wild Turkey Federation.

Jamie supports:

Enforcing our environmental protection laws and holding polluters accountable. The costs of clean-up shouldn't fall on tax payers.
Working proactively to address threats like aquatic invasive species and chronic wasting disease. These threats affect our Minnesota traditions and impact our billion dollar outdoors economy.
Accepting the realities of climate change and promoting transitions to renewable energy, including bringing more renewable energy jobs to Minnesota.
Protecting our public land and resources. These resources belong to all of us and Jamie collaborates with hunters, anglers, hikers, bikers, and campers to make sure our great outdoors are accessible to all Minnesotans.
