Legislative Update
Friends and Neighbors,
I am excited to share that I have officially begun my second term as your representative in the Minnesota House of Representatives. It is an incredible honor to continue serving the people of District 17A, and I remain deeply committed to advocating for your values, priorities, and the future of our community. Your voice is my guiding force in every decision I make, and I will continue to work around the clock to ensure your needs are heard and addressed here at the Capitol.
On Wednesday, January 15, I started my work as the GOP Vice Chair of the Human Services Finance and Policy Committee, while also serving on the Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy Committee and the Health Finance and Policy Committee. These committees cover critical issues that directly impact Minnesotans, and I am committed to pushing policies that improve healthcare access, ensure our elections are secure, promote environmental stewardship, and safeguard taxpayer dollars.

Let me be clear: the people of Minnesota deserve leaders who are honest, dedicated, and accountable; that is why I am deeply disturbed by the recent actions of my Democrat colleagues. In the evening hours of January 12, House Democrats held an illegitimate, secret swearing-in ceremony—an unprecedented and unacceptable move that completely undermines the democratic process and disrespects the hardworking voters elected them to serve. To make matters worse, these same members have refused to show up for work, yet they continue to collect taxpayer-funded paychecks.
This behavior is not only disrespectful to you, the voters, but it is a complete disregard of the responsibility we hold as elected officials. It is dishonorable and unacceptable, and I will not stand by and let it go unchallenged.
I stand with the 66 Republican members who swore an oath to you, the people of Minnesota, to show up, to work, and to serve with integrity every single day; and I will never back down from that commitment.
Minnesotans derserve leaders who will work for them, not take their taxpayer dollars for granted. You deserve representatives who will fight for your interests, protect your values, and show up to do the hard work that comes with serving our state.
 dear friend and constituent, Jennifer Moore
