Activists now have an opportunity to build a functional grassroots driven organization that is dedicated to winning the hearts and minds of Minnesotans with the philosophy of limited government and liberty. By promoting and educating on these values we’ll nominate candidates not who champion one or two pet issues, but who live and embrace a philosophy of liberty.
It’s not that non-republicans don’t share our values, it’s that we have failed to articulate what those values are. When we scrap for money and sell out the party to single issue donors, we then are forced to win elections by throwing dirt at our opponents, further alienating voters and would be volunteers.
I've known Terry since 2008 and he is certainly the right man for the job. He is currently the Chairman for CD2. His political background includes grass roots work back to the early 1990's serving as a Vice Chair and Finance Chair in MN CD3. With redistricting his area (Burnsville) became part of CD2 where he stayed active and ran for a house seat endorsement (HD37A)in 2004 but lost on the 5th ballot. Terry has been a State Delegate most years and a State Central Delegate too.
Terry retired from 3M after 30 successful years in sales, marketing, and management. He now owns his own financial business specializing in stock and equity option trading. Terry works to mitigate risk while beating the market in these turbulent times.
Married to his wife Nancy for 42 years, they have 5 grown children and 8 grandchildren. They are founding Board members of Pregnancy Choices Lifecare Center, a self funded, safe place for women and families with a crisis pregnancy to land.
In September 2005 Terry was invited by some Christian friends to join them on a mission to the Gulf. Together they were on the LA/MS border, days after Katrina. Terry witnessed individual Americans rich and poor showing up to help. His take on that event, having been there, is quite different that what was reported in the major media. The federal and state governments were there but overwhelmed by the enormity of the situation. In the early days it was just regular people, small Christian groups especially, who did the heavy lifting. Terry gained a new appreciation for The Salvation Army. They are simply amazing. The Red Cross was just getting there the day he left. No slam on them but instructive on how large bureaucratic organizations, including governments get hamstrung. Individuals made it work.
The year after Katrina Terry helped organize teams of people from a number of Twin City churches to go down and help with rebuilding. Working with the Crisis Response Team at his parish he raised money and coordinated skilled volunteers' travel and work schedules in the Gulf. This was another lesson in government. Terry found that trying to send teams to Louisiana, even to help with the churches he worked with during Katrina, became nearly impossible. State inspectors and red tape tied their hands and wasted his people's time. He shifted his efforts to Mississippi and the process became seamless. Democrat controlled LA did not seem to want volunteers.
Terry's extensive management, people and political experience make him the best candidate for MN GOP chair.
