Dear Neighbors,
2020 is behind us, ending the one of the most challenging years we’ve experienced in our lifetimes.
I believe that in 2021 we will beat COVID-19, we’ll be able to enjoy being in each other’s company again without worrying about getting each other sick, and we’ll recover the jobs we lost as we fought this disease. At the Minnesota House, we will continue our work to ensure that every Minnesotan has affordable health care, great educational opportunities from pre-school through job training, and economic security.
I look forward to working with Governor Walz and Senate Majority Leader Gazelka to reach a reasonable compromise on the state’s next two-year budget that serves the needs of the people of Minnesota.
Finally, after this difficult year, my personal New Year’s resolution is to continue to be grateful for all that I have — most especially my health and my family. Today I am grateful for fantastic cross country skiing conditions, with great snow and sunshine. I’ll be hitting the trail soon! I hope 2021 brings you joy and peace.
Best wishes for a healthy and happy New Year for you and your friends and family!
