Legislative Update

Christmas

I hope you all had a great Christmas. I was so blessed to get my whole family all home to attend Christmas Eve service at Living Stones Church here in Cokato. With the kids all growing up and heading off in their own directions I cherish all of the time we get to spend together.

Ridgewater

I was pleased to present a House Resolution to Ridgewater College's Meat Cutting Program [ [link removed] ] for the program's significant contributions to workforce development and its role in supporting the state's agricultural sector.

The program was established to address the growing demand for skilled meat processing professionals, offers comprehensive training in meat cutting, safety protocols, and industry standards. Legislators have praised the program for its effectiveness in preparing students for immediate employment, thereby strengthening Minnesota's meat processing industry.

This underscores the importance of vocational education in meeting industry needs and enhancing economic growth within our state.

House Republican Majority

With the State House race in 40B heading to a special election [ [link removed] ] on January 28th we will be beginning the legislative session with a one seat majority. This means that all of the organizational steps at the beginning of session will be led by Speaker-designate Rep. Lisa Demuth.

Another race over in district 54A continues to make headlines as the lawsuit over 20 missing ballots [ [link removed] ] continues. The race was decided by just 14 votes meaning these 20 ballots could have shifted the entire race and the entire balance of power in the House for the next two years.

Either one of these races could deliver our caucus a permanent majority for the entire biennium.
