A District 16 republican House candidate says he is concerned about workforce development in the state.
Kevin Jensen of Canton won his nomination in a recount of his three-way race.

Jensen says he has seen workforce issues first hand

Jensen says that is partially a product of education funding cutbacks in the past

Jensen says while he support more funding for education, he isn’t a fan of the expanded sales tax passed by this year’s session of the legislature

Jensen says he is also concerned about the growing meth abuse problem in the state.
