Dear Friend,
Last week, we had the opportunity to participate in some outstanding meetings in Minnesota. Read on to learn more…
On Friday, we celebrated the federal funding our office fought to secure for the Highway 65 at 117th Avenue Project in Blaine, along with members of the Minnesota State Legislature, Blaine City Council, Anoka County Commissioners, and Blaine area first responders. Investing in transportation infrastructure isn’t just about saving Minnesotans time, it’s about enhancing safety, reducing congestion, and stimulating economic growth throughout Anoka County and Minnesota.
Minnesota is blessed to be the home to some of the world’s greatest medical technology innovators. Zopec Medial is an important member of that group. As a leader in the respiratory care industry, Zopec produces some of the world's smallest and lightest uninterruptible power supply batteries that help power lifesaving medical equipment in hospitals and ambulances.
Our state is also home to some of the nation’s leading manufacturers. TSI Plastics manufactures precision-molded plastic components for the aerospace, military and medical industries. The things they can make in their facility are incredible. Thank you for taking the time to show us around!
We also had the chance to sit down with President Lori Higgins and members of the MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce to discuss infrastructure improvements coming to the north metro area. It was great to chat with them to hear how federal infrastructure investments will help support the businesses in the area.
One of the greatest honors as a Member of Congress is nominating bright young people from Minnesota’s Sixth District to attend our nation’s military academies. This year, we nominated three students to the United States Air Force Academy, one to the United States Military Academy West Point and one to the United States Naval Academy. Last week, we hosted a reception with this year’s nominees and their families to celebrate their achievements and wish them well as they prepare to serve our country in the armed forces.
Sincerely,
