Paul On The Issues

Making Our Greater Minnesota Schools Even Better.
Schools in Greater Minnesota receive thousands less per student than schools in the metro area. Paul Torkelson believes all students, regardless of where they live, should be treated equally. Paul will work to secure our fair share of state education funding so our children are prepared to compete in the global economy.
Pro Life Advocate.
Paul Torkelson believes that life is precious from the moment of conception until the day of natural death. He knows that the unborn are vulnerable, that they deserve to be protected and should be provided with a chance to live. Paul will steer our society toward protecting human life, especially the most vulnerable, the unborn.
Strengthening Our Greater Minnesota Economy.
Paul Torkelson understands that families are being squeezed by tough economic times, job losses and higher prices for food and gas. That's why Paul Supports holding the line on tax increases. It's time for state government to live within its means - just like families and small businesses in Greater Minnesota do every day.
Defending Agriculture and Our Greater Minnesota Traditions.
Paul Torkelson knows Greater Minnesota is under attack by powerful special interests opposed to current farming practices and our way of life. As a lifelong resident of our area, Paul has a proven track record of standing up for farmers, small businesses and our Greater Minnesota traditions. Paul will never forget where he comes from and who he represents.
