A Vision For Our Future
The past two years in Minnesota we have witnessed the heavy-handed, unconstitutional overreach of DFL Governor Tim Walz—now more than ever is the time to limit the size and reach of government! With a record surplus, it is time for a major tax cut for all Minnesotans. We MUST give hardworking taxpayers their money back permanently through a tax cut, including exempting Social Security income for our Seniors, like so many other states already do.
Let us improve the job creation environment that small and large business creators need to expand in rural Minnesota by more favorable tax and regulation policies. Torrey will keep fighting for more rural broadband until the job is finished, so that rural Minnesota can benefit from the internet economy by highspeed internet in your home or business!
Fighting For Agriculture
Torrey grew up working on his family dairy farm. He brings farm logic and rural common sense to advocate on behalf of agriculture in Minnesota. He will fight to expand our value-added agriculture market opportunities.
Senator Westrom served as the Chairman of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Development Committee from 2017 to 2023 and now serves as the Minority Leader on the Senate Agriculture, Veterans, Broadband, and Rural Development Committee.
In 2022 he chief authored the Senate Agriculture and Rural Broadband bill, that targeted $210 million dollars to be dedicated to the rural broadband program, the largest investment in State history, to finish providing the last 8% of residents with good internet service. This is a huge win for rural Minnesota!
Defending Our 2nd Amendment Rights
Senator Westrom has a strong record of fighting to protect the 2nd Amendment rights of every Minnesotan. We must ensure that Minnesota's proud sporting and hunting traditions are preserved for the next generation to enjoy, and everyone's constitutional right of self-defense is preserved.
Pursuing Energy Independence
Senator Westrom supports lifting the nuclear energy moratorium, advocating for more hydroelectric power, promoting home-grown biofuels, and opening more domestic drilling.
Promoting Infrastructure And Affordability
We should dedicate the sales tax on auto parts to ongoing highway funding – rather than another 20-cent gas tax hike that the Democrats propose over and over, and we must repeal the huge car tab fee hikes that the Democrats passed in 2023.
