The Issues

Economic Prosperity, Practical Health Care Reform, and Preservation of Individual freedoms are critical to a successful and vibrant community.  Carinda believes in the limited role of the government to act in a sensible manner to protect the rights and privileges of the individual.  She is running for a two year term to represent House District 7A of Duluth and to provide the region with a business friendly voice in St. Paul.

Economic Prosperity

It’s time to help our area reach its full potential.
Let’s try a new approach to economic development that will actually build a stronger community. Carinda Horton supports the following:

• Reduce regulations, licensing, bureaucracy, and permits
• Reform the tax code to make Minnesota competitive with surrounding states
• Balance our State budget
• Reduce the size of government and wasteful spending
• Priority funding for infrastructure and public safety
• Fiscal responsibility to the taxpayer
• Eliminate taxes on investment and capital improvements

Practical Health Care Reform

There needs to be a practical approach to health care reform. Let’s not forget our friends and neighbors who are employed in some aspect of the health care and insurance industries. Federal mandates do not solve the core issues of this debate. Carinda Horton’s health care reforms include:

• Transparent and consistent pricing set by the provider of care
• Patient choice
• Protection of patient-doctor confidentiality
• Tax incentives to help make health insurance more affordable
• Reduction of unnecessary mandates and bureaucracy
• Reforming medical malpractice
• Allowing the purchase of health insurance products across state lines

Preservation of Individual Freedom

Individuals should have sole control over their lives. Careful consideration of unintended consequences to individuals is extremely important with any new legislation. Carinda Horton strongly supports the following:

• Personal property rights
• Gun owner rights and the 2nd amendment
• Pro-life advocacy
• Individual’s right to secret ballot
• School Choice and vouchers
• Parental Rights
