A member of the Republican Party of Minnesota, she represents District 8B, which includes portions of Douglas and Otter Tail counties in the west central part of the state. She is also a licensed child care provider and a former employee of AT&T.[1][2] Early life and educationFranson graduated from AlBrook High School in Saginaw and the University of Minnesota Duluth in Duluth, earning her B.A. in psychology and humanities. She and her family live in Alexandria.[1] Political careerFranson was first elected to the House in 2010, succeeding Rep. Mary Ellen Otremba, who did not seek re-election. On election night, November 6, 2012, Franson ended the night with a one-vote margin of victory, triggering an automatic recount under Minnesota law.[3][4] Due primarily to a voting irregularity, the recount left Franson with a 12-vote lead and challenger Bob Cunniff conceded on November 29.[5] Franson won her third term in the 2014 election,[6] her fourth term in the 2016 election,[7] and her fifth term in the 2018 election.[8] Political positionsAbortionIn 2017, Franson authored a bill to ban any funds from all state-funded healthcare programs from being used for abortions.[9] While the bill passed both houses of the Minnesota State Legislature, Governor Mark Dayton ultimately vetoed it.[10] Child-careFranson, a former child-care provider, has made child-care one of the main focuses of her position. She has been a vocal opponent of an executive order issued by Governor Mark Dayton allowing for the unionization of child-care providers.[11] In May 2018, Franson added her voice to the call[12] for the state to take action against child care fraud in Minnesota uncovered by KMSP-TV.[13] That same month, Governor Dayton signed into law a bill authored by Franson that was unanimously passed by both of Minnesota's legislative houses. The bill cut regulations on child-care providers that were viewed as burdensome.[14] EnvironmentOn April 20, 2012, Franson objected to the opening prayer on the House floor, where the House Chaplain Rev. Francis Grady mentioned Earth Day and tied it to the Gulf oil spill. Franson tweeted that the Prayer "may as well been dedicated to "Mother Earth", coincidence? I think not. 2nd offensive prayer in a month."[15] In June 2018, Franson was one of four Republican legislators who secured state funding to help clean up two lakes in Alexandria, Minnesota.[16] Gun controlAfter the March for Our Lives demonstration on March 24, 2018, Franson authored and shared several posts on Facebook that her opponents claimed were comparing the survivors of the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting to the Hitler Youth.[17] On March 27, Franson said that she didn't intend to link the protesters to Hitler Youth.[18] On March 28, she apologized and said, "Because of the timing of my posts, I now understand why it appears that I was making a comparison."[19] HealthcareFranson authored a bill protecting up to $25,000 of an individual's healthcare saving from debt collectors. The bill was passed unanimously by both Minnesota legislative houses and signed into law by Governor Dayton on May 3, 2018.[20] On July 1, 2018, a law authored by Franson requiring the licensing of athletic trainers took effect in Minnesota.[21] LGBT issuesFranson was one of the authors of a constitutional ban on same-sex marriage (HF 1613), introduced on April 28, 2011.[22] On April 8, 2014, Franson characterized an anti-bullying bill as "fascism" and an "attack on the Bible and conservative Christians."[23] On November 9, 2017, Franson tweeted that "A guy who thinks he's a girl is still a guy with a mental health condition", apparently in reference to the election of transgender politicians Andrea Jenkins and Phillipe Cunningham to the Minneapolis City Council earlier that week.[24] The tweet drew criticism from fellow state lawmakers, many of whom pointed out that being transgender is not considered a mental illness by the American Psychological Association. Franson posted a defiant apology on Facebook, stating that she does "not apologize for not conforming to the PC world where I'm supposed to go along with fantasy and participate in it. This isn't the first time I've offended the social justice warriors and it won't be the last."[25] Women's issuesFranson has championed the cause of women fighting against female genital mutilation,[26] including authoring a bill to ban the practice in Minnesota.[27] Electoral history
