Meet Owen


I come from a family of farmers. Although I did not grow up farming, I have seen how much hard work it takes and how vital farmers are to our community. We owe so much to our farmers and I want to ensure that they can still afford their farm and the equipment they need.
My dad has been a teacher for the past 30+ years. Through him I have learned the struggle teachers in our community face. This is why I think it is essential that they are protected to ensure every generation of students can have a quality education.
The first job I have ever had was pouring concrete with my dad. It is from this experience that I learned that hard work isn't easy. Yet I still help out every now and then because I enjoy the hard work.
As a gun owner, I understand people's concerns about their 2nd amendment rights. What is missing from the conversation is why people feel the need to protect themselves and I believe it stems from a distrust of the government. In order to have conversations about responsible gun policies we first need to re-establish trust between the people and OUR government.

Importance of Team Work
Through sports I learned the value of hard work and what it takes to be successful, not just individually, but as a team. In high school I achieved 3rd place individually at state for wrestling my sophomore year. The following year I helped Perham reach 3rd place as a team at the state wrestling tournament. Additionally I ran cross country where I was fortunate to be part of Minnesota history where we were able to win state three years in a row both girls and boys.
