Terri Bonoff – Community Education Volunteer Program
Terri Bonoff is running for US House of Representatives in MN District 3. She is a Rotarian in Minnetonka and is a third generation Third District resident. She began her professional career in the family clothing business after college. When that business closed she joined Tonka Toys until they moved out of the Twin Cities and then joined Navarre Corporation. After 20 years she left the corporate world to be at home with four teenagers and to get involved in local issues. She has served in the Minnesota Senate since 2005.
During her MN Senate career she has work on education issues including early childhood scholarships and the Pipeline Project (MNPIPELINE.COM) which matches students and employers while still in school.
She decided to get into the House race “when she saw the partisan rancor and the prospect of a Donald Trump presidency.” She calls herself a fiscal conservative and is proud of supporting transportation funding. She considers safety (both domestic and international) and immigration reform to be the most important issues.
During Q & A she commented that – She would like to end negative third person campaign commercials. Government’s role should be about protection and should not overreach into business issues. Government should be negotiating drug prices. Advocates zero based budgeting to reduce record deficits.
