Legislative Update

My email inbox has been overflowing with concern over HF 4780 [ [link removed] ] this week. This legislation will have damaging effects on local families, small businesses, and communities surrounding the Upper Red Lake area as well as Beltrami County overall. I will continue to work with state, local, and tribal officials as well as the public in regard to this bill. Because of the detrimental effects that this bill will have I must stand in opposition to it.

Attacks on religious freedom continue to be an important issue this week at the capitol. In the dark of night Monday evening the Senate Judiciary Committee moved their bill forward without language to reinstate the religious exemption in the Minnesota Human Rights Act. This rejection is a clear attack on religious freedom, a founding principle of our country and constitution, protected by both the Minnesota and U.S. Constitutions. The views and actions of religious organizations should be determined by the organizations themselves, not by the state legislature. We will continue to fight for religious freedom and protections under the 1st Amendment. However, we need your assistance. We urge you to make your voices heard to the Majority Leadership in the legislature. It is crucial that they understand that religious institutions should have the autonomy to make decisions based on their own values.

This week the House Republican Caucus held a Public Safety Press Conference to roll out our package of seven bills to support our law enforcement and first responders. These are the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep us all safe. Democrats in Saint Paul continue to block our efforts to fund our police force and take care of the dedicated officers who serve our communities. Our leads in the public safety arena rolled out a collection of seven bills and you can watch the complete press conference here: Facebook Watch [ [link removed] ]
