BANNER




Neighbors,??

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Fourth of July!?

This will be my last update until after the election. Whether running or not, legislators cannot use state resources for unsolicited communications during an election period because it might create an unfair advantage. While I won?t be able to send out these updates for a while, you can still follow me on my legislative Facebook [ [link removed] ] page.?

I?m still available to meet, help with state level problems, and discuss issues important to our community. Please feel free to reach out at [email protected] or 651-296-4176, and I will be happy to help.?

Accessibility for All at State Parks

Thanks to the dedicated disability justice organizers in our state, all-terrain track chairs are now available at 13 Minnesota State Parks. Track chairs are all-terrain, electric-powered chairs that can be used on designated trails within the park. These chairs can help visitors explore areas of the state parks in new ways, often on trails that are not suitable for regular wheelchairs.??

Track chairs are available year-round in some locations, and seasonally in others. To reserve a chair, call the park you plan to visit [ [link removed] ].???

Tree Planting and Green Space in Minnesota

The U.S. Department of Agriculture awarded over $33 million to fund tree-planting projects across the state, part of a national $1.13 billion investment in 2023. [ [link removed] ] Trees are vital for Minnesota's environment, cleaning our air, and preventing erosion. All Minnesotans, regardless of location, deserve the benefits of a healthy environment with access to trees and green spaces.?
