Dear Neighbor,
To say that the last few weeks have been eventful is a bit of an understatement. While I know that many of us have our attention turned to our national Capitol, I wanted to update you about the work that has already begun in St. Paul. I’m continually grateful to have the opportunity to serve Richfield and Bloomington in the Minnesota Senate, and to represent diverse communities as important conversations occur.
2021 Legislative Session Begins
On January 5th, the 92nd Minnesota Legislature was sworn in. New to the Senate are three Republicans, and seven DFLers. I was proud to be sworn in for my third term representing our district. Although the first day looked a little bit different, it was still a strong reminder of the seriousness of the work before us. I will be serving on the following committees this session:
- Health and Human Services Finance and Policy – DFL Lead
- Human Services Reform Finance and Policy
- Technology Reform Policy
