Friend –

Good news: Thanks to everyone who chipped in, we ended our February fundraising drive incredibly strong.

This is a bittersweet time for our campaign as we say goodbye to many voters who've been drawn into new districts. To the wonderful people of Chanhassen, Chaska, and Victoria: I'll miss being your official representative, but trust that you'll bring the DeanTeam's spirit of hope and optimism to your new district. You're always welcome to hang out with us at the Campaign Coffeehouse when it reopens this month!

We have a whole lot of new voters to welcome into the fold from Hopkins, Anoka, and Edina. Here's what I want my new constituents to know: No matter your politics, I will listen to you, I will hear your story, and I will represent you faithfully in Congress.

Our opponents are going to try to tell a different story – and that's why these fundraising drives matter so much. Again, thank you to everyone who chipped in. Together, we're going to keep building a campaign that invites everyone in.

With gratitude,

Dean
