A little sweet and spice for my door knocking treat today, from Mis Tres Flores!

When I’ve been out door knocking, one of the top issues I’ve been hearing about are Property Taxes and the rising price of housing

While the skyrocketing prices of housing is great for Private Equity groups who have been buying up single family homes, it has been terrible for everyone else.

Voters have told me of these Private Equity groups scooping up affordable houses while they were house hunting, with offers of cash payments that potential homeowners can’t compete with. The scarcity of available homes drives up the prices even more, along with property tax values of homes that aren’t for sale.

This means that not only can new families not afford to buy homes to live in, but seniors, who have paid off their homes years ago and lived there for decades, are now being driven out of their homes as their fixed incomes can’t keep up with the rapidly rising property taxes.

More people that can’t afford a house mean more people having to rent, and that increased demand for rentals drives up that price as well, giving more money to the Private Equity groups that bought up the houses in the first place.

It’s a vicious cycle and it needs to be broken, both by stopping these groups from buying up homes in our communities and by providing property tax relief to homestead properties, including farmland where the farmer lives on the property.

This tax refund is a great start in that direction, but not nearly enough homeowners know about it. The deadline is August 15th, so if you haven’t already applied, I strongly urge people to take advantage of it!

DEADLINE: Property Tax refund applications are due by August 15th! This year the Senate DFL secured $125 Million in property tax refunds for Minnesota homeowners, bringing the average refund to $1,600.

While I was out doorknocking today, I ran into three different voters who said that they had never had a candidate visit their homes before. One said that he had been living there for 20 years and no one had ever asked what issues he was concerned about.

I've knocked close to a thousand doors in the last couple months, and a lot of those voters are surprised that a candidate is asking their opinion about what will help them in their lives.

Our communities deserve representatives who are looking out for everyone in the community, and finding out what issues are affecting them most.

That's why I'm meeting with them at their doors, so I can talk with them, hear their concerns, and hopefully be a voice for the entire community in St Paul next year.

Having a government that works for the people instead of giving more power to corporations is not socialism.

There are common sense issues that would improve the lives of every person in Minnesota. If we elect representatives that are more interested in helping our communities over villainizing or scoring wins against the other side, we can work on the things that matter to everyone.

If I'm elected, I promise to work with anyone, from either party, provided that their goal is to improve the lives of Minnesotans, in our communties and state-wide.
