Governor Walz Signs Mental Health Package

Last week, Governor Tim Walz signed legislation delivering a $60 million investment in mental health, including several provisions I authored.

During the pandemic, we have seen how important mental health is to the overall health of a society. Like many industries in the state going through severe workforce shortages, this bill adds a tool in the box to recruit and retain mental health professionals in the workforce. This is a huge step in the right direction in giving back to the mental health professionals who work so tirelessly, particularly in the last three years.

Assisting our Farmers

Good news for our Minnesota farmers! Another priority of mine was just signed into law, which will provide ongoing investments in small, beginning, and emerging farmers towards owning farmland. Many farmers we see at our local farmer's markets rent land and have no certainty about how long-term leases will be, which affects their ability to build livelihoods and continue farming for our communities. With this legislation, we will aid farmers, diversify the industry and eliminate food insecurities within our communities.

For more information regarding this vital legislation, here [ [link removed] ] is an article from MinnPost.
