Dear Neighbors,
I want to start by thanking you for allowing me to be your voice in the Minnesota House of Representatives for an additional two years. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but I’m confident we can meet this moment if we work together. COVID-19 continues to surge across the state, and in response there are new resources and measures being implemented that you can read about below:
Balancing COVID Restrictions with Economic Relief
The recent surge in COVID-19 cases throughout the state have called for a new round of measures to help curb the spread of this virus. Similar to what we had experienced earlier this year, bars, restaurants, and gyms are now closed, and many events are paused – but with these measures there must also be a counter of economic relief to assist our community. My colleagues and I in the House DFL are working with Governor Walz to put forward a proposal of economic relief for Minnesota’s businesses and workers, which you can read more about here.
We’re moving to address these measures, and hope to be in session to work on them as soon as next week.

Wishing You A Healthy Thanksgiving
Today’s holiday will look different for many of us, but I hope you and yours are still able to find a way to connect with loved ones and reflect on what you’re thankful for this year. Once we get back from the break, things will be moving quickly in our efforts to respond to the COVID surge and provide economic relief. To stay up to date, you can subscribe to these legislative updates here, and be sure to share these with others who may be interested.
If you have any questions about our upcoming work in the Minnesota House, or our goals for the future, please feel free to contact me at (651) 296-3751 or rep.michael.nelson@house.mn. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Rep. Michael V. Nelson
