Dear Neighbors,????

I hope your summer is off to a fantastic start! Summer's here, and it's the perfect time to support local farmers and enjoy fresh produce at your neighborhood farmers' market [ [link removed] ]. In the 2023 legislative session, I carried legislation to ensure all Minnesotans can use their SNAP/EBT cards at farmer's markets. This funding has also helped many vendors modernize their technology and equipment to accept these benefits.??

Here are few important reminders I wanted to share with you:??

*MN Promise Act Application Deadline ? June 30**th**?*?

*Re-cap of 2024 Coalition of Asian American Leaders Town Hall*?

It was an honor to join colleagues from the legislature and community leaders at the Coalition of Asian American Leaders [ [link removed] ] legislative town hall. We had a robust discussion about the most productive legislative session in state history and the different bills we passed which support Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) communities in Minnesota.??

I was excited to talk about our historic expansion of the Working Families and Child Tax Credit, as well as my bill to honor the first arrivals of Hmong and Vietnamese families to Minnesota in 1975. Passage of my bill HF4996 secures $600,000 to the Minnesota Historical Society to fund grants for cultural, community, and veterans' organizations celebrating 50 years of Southeast Asians and Hmong Americans in Minnesota. By fostering these celebrations, we honor the history and contributions of communities like mine who chose to make Minnesota home. We also create a more inclusive and dynamic Minnesota for everyone.?

*Re-Cap of Hmong Cultural Center Tour*?

I had a great time hosting the Hmong Cultural Center's [ [link removed] ] adult ESL and Citizenship classes during their visit to the Capitol. Many of the participants were new to the United States and wanted to learn more about the American system of government and how they can have their voice heard as part of the legislative process and as new Minnesota residents. I was so inspired to hear their hopes and dreams of becoming new Americans!??
