Hi, I'm Dave Thomas and I am running for the DFL party for MN House 66A, which includes Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Roseville, and Saint Paul's North End.

I teach Economics and Government at MTS Secondary in South Minneapolis and have been involved in education for over 15 years. I have a BA in Social Studies Education from Concordia University in Saint Paul, and an AA in Liberal Arts from Saint Paul College.

I am a ten year veteran of the US Army/MN National Guard and an Iraq War Veteran. Having Served at Balad, Iraq with Task Force 34. Since returning to civilian life, I have also served on the Falcon Heights Fire Department and the Falcon Heights Parks Commission.

After meeting my wife while overseas, she immigrated to America so we could start our family. We both work full time and she currently serves as a school nurse.

We have lived at our Falcon Heights home for the last ten years and our daughters attend Falcon Heights Elementary. In fact, they are a huge reason why I am running for MN House 66a.
