Meet Owen

I'm Owen Werner, and I'm running for a new generation of politics.

Proudly raised in Perham, along with three siblings. I graduated from Perham High School in 2020 then went on to get my bachelor's degree in accounting from Hamline University. Currently I work at KLN Family Brands as an accountant for the past 3 years.

Farmers, teachers, and hardwork

  • 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.
