Early life, education, and career
Neu Brindley received her bachelor's degree in family studies from Brigham Young University. She lives in North Branch, Minnesota, and previously served on the North Branch Planning Commission.[1]
Neu Brindley worked as a Republican political strategist before her election to the state legislature.[3] She was Chip Cravaack's campaign manager during his successful bid for Minnesota's 8th congressional district in 2010.[4] The campaign unseated longtime Democrat Jim Oberstar and gave the 8th district of Minnesota its first Republican representative in Шаблон:Age years.[5] She recruited Pete Hegseth to run for the Republican nomination for the 2012 U.S. Senate election in Minnesota.[6][7] She worked as the executive director of the Minnesota House Republican Campaign Committee, and helped recruit women candidates to run for legislative office.[8][9][10]
Minnesota House of Representatives
Neu Brindley was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in a special election on February 14, 2017.[3][11] She won a full term in 2018 and has been reelected every two years since. Neu Brindley first ran after the Minnesota Supreme Court ruled that three-term Republican incumbent Bob Barrett was ineligible to run because he did not meet residency requirements, triggering a special election.[1][12]
Neu Brindley serves as the minority lead on the Human Services Finance Committee and also sits on the Health Finance and Policy and Commerce Finance and Policy Committees.[1] She served as deputy minority leader from 2019 to 2022 after being appointed by minority leader Kurt Daudt.[13]
Political positions
Neu Brindley has said she supports lower taxes, opposes abortion, and supports wider access to public funding for private and charter schools.[4] She has consistently called for money from the state's budget surplus to be used for tax relief and to cut state taxes on Social Security income.[14][15][16] She opposed Governor Tim Walz's plan to send one-time stimulus checks in 2022.[17]
Neu Brindley authored legislation to ban people convicted of a DWI from operating a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle.[18][19] She supported increasing funds for the state's border-to-border broadband internet program.[20]
In 2021, Neu Brindley served on a working group to distribute $250 million in federal aid to front-line workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.[21] She advocated for prioritizing front-line medical staff and first responders because they cared for COVID patients.[22][23][24] She supported ending Walz's emergency orders regarding the pandemic.[25][26]
Neu Brindley criticized incoming Governor Walz in 2018 for skipping a meeting with President Donald Trump, saying that Minnesota needs a strong relationship with federal officials.[27] She voted against bipartisan legislation banning private clubs for lobbyists and legislators at the state capitol.[28]
Health care
Neu Brindley has opposed DFL health care proposals, and supports abolishing MNSure, a public health insurance marketplace in the state.[29][3] She has criticized the Department of Human Services' oversight of money awarded to local agencies and nonprofits.[30][31][32] She opposed extending the state's reinsurance program, saying it was "giving bonuses to welfare recipients".[33]
Neu Brindley successfully proposed an amendment to a bill banning conversion therapy in the state to exclude clergy working with members of their congregation.[34][35] She opposed legislation legalizing marijuana in Minnesota, but added an amendment to the bill around packaging warning labels.[36][37]
Neu Brindley opposed legislation to allow medically assisted suicide in the state, sharing the story of her husband, who died of ALS.[38] She has supported legislation to increase treatment funding for those living with ALS and their caretakers.[39]
Abortion
Neu Brindley opposes abortion, calling DFL legislation to codify abortion rights and protection "abhorrent" and "the most extreme position on abortion on the world stage".[4][40][41] She has said the Republican Party has tried to ensure "reasonable guardrails" on abortions, but they were rejected by House DFLers.[42][43]
COVID-19 vaccines
Neu Brindley opposed mandates for COVID-19 vaccines that "are driving health care worker resignations and layoffs".[44] She signed a letter opposing the Mayo Clinic's vaccine mandate policy for employees, calling it "onerous" to receive a religious exception.[45] The letter suggested that Mayo and other providers would lose support for future legislation. "We will not support state funding for programs like these, or any other funding, for any healthcare facility that fires their employees due to unrealistic vaccine mandate policies."[46]
Public safety and crime
Neu Brindley opposed changes to state sentencing guidelines that she said would lead to lighter punishments for repeat offenders.[47][48][49] She said she was worried about proposals that would increase training, discipline, and civilian oversight for police officers and advocated for delaying implementation of a new standard for justified use of deadly force.[50][51] She attempted to amend a larger public safety bill to ban cities from disbanding, abolishing, or defunding police departments, and supported requiring reports on the use of mandatory minimum sentences in the state.[52][53]
Gun control
Neu Brindley opposes most gun control measures and was rated 92% by the National Rifle Association of America in 2017.[54] She received a perfect score from the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus in 2019, a gun advocacy group in the state.[55]
Election policy
Neu Brindley criticized DFL elections bills for their lack of bipartisan support.[56] She opposed a bill to give Minnesota's major political parties more control over candidates running under the party banner by establishing a court process to prevent imposter candidates.[57] Neu Brindley spoke in opposition of legislation that would restore voting rights to felons who are on parole.[58]
