Caroline Burley/Candidate for MN State Representative District 7B

Caroline Burley

Candidate for MN State Representative District 7B
GOP

You may ask, why am I running? I have been a Republican all of my voting life. My foundation for good citizenship stems from my Norwegian grandfather who, in the early 1900’s, immigrated legally to this country and from my father who served the people as a Koochiching County Commissioner.

 

Accepting Jesus as my Savior as a child, I believe in life from conception to natural death. Healthcare should reflect this. I was the primary caregiver for my husband of forty nine years prior to his death from Parkinson’s Disease seven years ago.

 

I respect the military and believe we should support the Veterans Administration.

 

Our public schools are in dire need of change. It is my belief that “common core” is an intrusive, dumbed-down education which does not support the values of our community or country. I feel parents need to be informed about what the schools are teaching our children.

 

I know the value of a strong education. I graduated from high school with honors and graduated with a degree in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis.

 

Having worked for 40 years in the insurance industry, my duties were first as a programmer and later as a systems analyst. This is why I want to create and maintain a fair, honest and competitive business environment.

 

In the political arena, I have served as an election judge and have attended BPOU (Basic Political Operating Units) meetings for many years. I served as secretary and later Co-Chair of my BPOU in Brooklyn Center. I am currently Treasurer of my BPOU (7B) in Duluth. I have assisted with several political campaigns by phone banking, block walking, literature dropping and displaying campaign signs in my yard.

 

I hope you will consider donating to my campaign. Any amount will be appreciated and put to good use. Checks should be made out to Caroline Burley for MN House 7B.

 

Donations may be sent to my home address of 629 North Central Ave, Duluth, MN 55807 or to my campaign Chair and Treasurer Gary Bergquist at 5524 Highland St., Duluth, MN 55807. You will receive a receipt from my campaign that you can use to receive a Minnesota Political Refund check up to $50 per individual or $100 per couple back from the State of Minnesota

 

Thank you for your support!
