If sent to St Paul I will work to address, in a common sense way, challenges facing the people of this district and the state - always looking for ways to enhance the income and quality of life of my neighbors. Our district deserves fully funded schools; high-quality, affordable healthcare; and good paying jobs with decent wages.

As a retired union member, I know how much a good paying job can change one’s life. We need good jobs that pay livable wages in our district.

I believe that affordable healthcare should be available to all Minnesotans. We need to invest in the people of our state and provide a system that works for everyone.

I proudly served in the United States Air Force from 1970 to 1974. Our veterans served our country for our sake, and it's our duty to take care of them when their service is done.

Our children and grandchildren deserve fully funded schools and a world-class education. I will do what it takes to make sure our kids gain the skills they need to get good paying jobs.

My name is Brad Brown, and i'm running for State Representative in House District 31A.

My wife Sandi and i have lived on a hobby farm in Spenser BrookTownship for over twenty years, and I’ve grown to love the people and beauty of our community. Most of my adult life I’ve been a journeyman diesel mechanic and honorably served four years in the Air Force. I am currently a retired member of the Machinists Union Local 737 but spend most of my weeks serving the community through charity work.
