Josiah Ampian is the DFL Rural Caucus endorsed candidate running for MN House of Representatives in House District 16B Back Josiah Ampian MN House of Representatives House District 16B New London, Minnesota As the youngest child of four, I have always felt that family unity should come before each individuals personality(political or otherwise). From coming together for Christmas to just spending time every week, families (whether chosen or blood) are the quintessential unit that help bring us together as a community. Fostering that community takes time and patience, and a willingness to step outside of normal perceptions. As someone who has supervised and helped direct leadership in previous jobs, I am no stranger to that. It also takes responsibility that requires understanding the effects of actions taken not just directly, but also the after effects of decisions you make. In my spare time I enjoy playing video games, spending time with with my dog, nerding out to Marvel, and occasionally participating in theater. The arts and humanities are a big piece of why I love Kandiyohi/Minnesota, and it's one of the reasons I am going to stick around. josiah.d.ampian@gmail.com Donate Website

Thaddeus Laugisch is the DFL Rural Caucus endorsed candidate running for MN House of Representatives in House District 4B Back Thaddeus Laugisch MN House of Representatives House District 4B Kragnes, Minnesota As a rural resident of 4B for nearly four years, a MN resident for fifteen, a husband and father of two, I work each day to better our region through commercial agricultural design. Additionally, as the Safety Director for my company, I carry the responsibility of ensuring the safety of others within the systems I design, as well as during their construction. I am proud to drive through the district and see how my designs have contributed to the growth of the ag industry and meeting the new requirements and standards of the industry. My sixteen-year career has been built on a foundation of designing solutions for my clients that integrate improvements within their existing systems and budget. We achieved this while also meeting proper safety standards, with future growth always in mind. Frankly, as regulations bare down on the industry, we need someone in office with experience in working to find solutions to ensure policy is created with common sense in mind. I recall vibrancy in our communities within 4B, and will advocate to bring that back. I am ready to put in the work to address the needs of our communities, while preserving the history we have within them. Working to restore the historical ballpark in Detroit Lakes is an excellent example of that history. To ensure our communities are vibrant, we need to improve access to healthcare, childcare, and senior care. We also need to provide employment opportunities in our rural communities by improving programs to support our small businesses. Donate Website
