Rep. David Gottfried legislative update banner




Dear Neighbors,

Quick reminder that I’ll be hosting my first Town Hall tomorrow! We’ll be getting started around 10:30am at Roseville City Hall [ [link removed] ], in the Council Chambers, and I hope to see you there!






Town Hall





I want to apologize to our Jewish neighbors for this event taking place on the first day of Passover, specifically The Great Shabbat (the Shabbat before Passover) and Erev Pesach (Eve of Passover). I wanted to ensure our community was able to touch base before the final weeks of session, so please feel free to contact me regardless of whether you’re able to join us tomorrow to discuss the legislative issues that are important to you and your family.

I’ll also note that no official legislative work is being conducted next week in recognition of the Passover and Easter holidays, meaning that when my colleagues and I return on April 21, we’ll truly be in the home stretch of our work this year.

I’m looking forward to finishing strong for our Roseville and Shoreview communities!

Federal Funding Cuts

*This week, Governor Walz announced a new dashboard Minnesotans can use to track disruptions and cancellations of federal funding [ [link removed] ] and their impact on services available to Minnesotans. Federal disruptions and cuts so far include grants to track measles and avian influenza, provide heating assistance, and mitigate flooding.






Federal Cuts [ [link removed] ]





Despite court orders prohibiting the federal government from freezing many funding streams, disruptions to federal funds [ [link removed] ] have continued. Some disruptions are short-lived. Other grants and awards are abruptly canceled altogether, resulting in layoffs and fewer services for Minnesotans.

As a state legislator, there’s not much I can do to stop the Trump administration, but I’m not without options when it comes to defending our state and preparing our budget for the cuts coming our way. It would help if Minnesota Republicans in D.C. and St. Paul took their heads out of the sand, but I’m committed to providing our state with the resources it needs to weather these next four years.
