HASTINGS – William Beck announced Monday that he is running for the Minnesota House of Representatives in District 41B, which includes Cottage Grove, Hastings, Denmark Township, and Nininger Township.
Beck works as a lab technician and manager, serves on a charter school board, and has experience as both an educator and a church youth leader. He and his wife, Mya, are raising their two children in Hastings. Their oldest was born with Down syndrome, an experience that has given their family a deep appreciation for the challenges many Minnesotans face and the importance of ensuring that every person has the opportunity to thrive.
“I am running because Minnesotans saw an $11 billion tax increase over the last two years, on top of rising local and property taxes,” Beck said. “Politicians in St. Paul have no right to demand more tax dollars when the U.S. Attorney for Minnesota estimates $1 billion was lost to fraudulent schemes.”
Beck enters the race with the support of incumbent Representative Tom Dippel.
William Beck will seek the Republican endorsement and has pledged to abide by the decision of the delegates. While running, he will take a leave of absence from his role on the 2nd Congressional District Republican Party’s executive board.
