Scott Jensen in Gubernatorial campaign websites
On Crime:
Increasing number of officers will restore law and order
Dr. Scott Jensen believes we need to support our law enforcement and call for violent criminals to be caught, convicted, and imprisoned. Tim Walz and out-of-touch Democrat leaders in our cities blame the police; Dr. Scott Jensen knows
we need more cops, not less. He will seek to increase the number of officers, which will restore law and order to our broken cities.

On Drugs:
Expunge prior convictions for small amounts of marijuana
As a medical professional Dr. Scott Jensen has seen the benefit of medical cannabis. Our State has had a program since 2015 and Dr. Jensen fully supports it. As Governor he will be an advocate to increase the number of distribution centers, ease
restrictions on the ability to prescribe, and allow more providers to better serve the pain management needs in our state.
Dr Scott Jensen believes it is time for expungement for prior convictions of small amounts of marijuana. Individuals with past criminal convictions can face difficulty acquiring and maintaining employment, attending college, and engaging in other
activities. In some cases, this hardship can lead to other crime and recidivism. Dr. Jensen believes it is time to end the cycle and expunge these minor infractions that cause greater harm than good.

On Health Care:
Strongly opposes single payer healthcare for Minnesota
Single payer healthcare will not solve the health care problems in Minnesota and will damage patient-doctor relationships. It will foster apathy, increase low value services utilization, undermine commitment to service,
compromise quality of care, increase waiting time, and reduce provider career satisfaction. Dr. Jensen strongly opposes single payer healthcare for Minnesota.

On Principles & Values:
A governor should serve to preserve, protect and prepare
A governor should serve to preserve, protect and prepare. Those three principles are immutable--they are the standard for every governor.
I am running for Governor because these principals have not been met by our current administration.

On Tax Reform:
We're some of the most over-taxed people in America
Minnesotans are some of the most over-taxed people in America. We are losing businesses and Minnesotans are flocking to other states due to our high tax structure. It starts with shrinking the government and not answering every question with
another government agency or program. We know Minnesotans want to invest in themselves and their families and not in the vast bureaucracy that years of Democratic leadership have given us. More government is not the answer; it is the problem.
