Legislative Update

Friends and Neighbors,

Legislative Session begins next week and I am looking forward to getting back to Saint Paul to serve the people of District 28A. Given the February start date, this year?s session will likely go by just as quickly as last year which means we need to be prepared to hit the ground running. We have some important legislative priorities that need to be top of mind next week. The first thing we need to address is a fix to last year?s School Resource Officer (SRO) bill.

The Governor has already stated his intent to get a bill passed early in the session and House Republicans intend to hold him to his word. Schools across the state have had to remove their SROs because of this legislation and it is imperative that we undo this change for the safety of our schools. We need a truly bi-partisan solution here given how badly this was fumbled under single-party control.

I will be in St. Paul fighting for the future of Minnesota. "Our great state is worth fighting for" - this statement holds true now more than ever. It's a place where people from all walks of life come together to build a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities. We need to bring balance back to the Minnesota legislature and ensure that everyone in our great state is heard in the legislative process.
