I'm Jeremy Munson, and I am running for State Senate in District 22, which includes part of seven counties in Southern Minnesota: Scott, Le Sueur, Rice, Blue Earth, Watonwan, Martin, and Faribault.

I am a fifth-generation Minnesotan, and my wife's family has farmed in Blue Earth and Watonwan Counties for four generations. I received a business degree from the University of Minnesota and have spent my career in heavily regulated industries, primarily financial services and manufacturing, helping companies launch new products, improve processes, and work more efficiently. My wife and I have managed several real estate businesses and farmed specialty crops for many years. 

My wife and I have been self-employed for most of our careers, and Obamacare triggered our active involvement in politics after our health insurance premiums skyrocketed. In 2017, I ran for and was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives, where I served 1 year in the majority and 4 years in the minority. I served on the Health Policy and Finance Committees and also on the Energy, Agriculture, and Redistricting Committees. 

I authored many bills to reform healthcare, health insurance, and the pharmaceutical industry, applying free-market pressures to lower costs and improve access. I was proud to see several pieces of legislation signed into law, but resistance from lobbyists and special interest groups was fierce. 

Minnesotans are reeling from the high costs of energy, healthcare, and burdensome business regulations. Taxes in Minnesota are among the highest in the country and have funded billions in fraud and theft we've seen in the news. 

I am running for State Senate to fight for a better Minnesota.
