Erik Mortensen is a Minnesota State Representative elected in 2020 and currently running for reelection.
In his own words:
Unlike the Democratic-Socialists and the faction of Big-Government Republicans, I haven’t lost my faith in humanity or in the American Ideals that have ensured every other American generation would be prosperous. I believe people are inherently good and that nobody cares more about the ability for the individual to thrive more so than the individual himself or herself. This is why every bill that comes before me will be examined very simply, “Does this bill empower Government or does it empower the Individual?”. As Ronald Reagan famously said, “government is not the solution to our problem, government IS the problem”.We discuss the joys of MNDOR, getting elected, running for reelection, what happens once you're 'part of the club,' the motivations of elected officials and how we #savesota and defend our Republic.

On a personal note, Mort is a personal inspiration to me. He's a rare breed: an elected official who's serving the people he represents and the ideals believes in regardless of the 'political' cost. Thanks for truly serving your state and your nation, Mort.
