Hi John,

It’s almost hard to believe, but this will be my last update of 2022! As we look to the year ahead, I feel more strongly than ever that the future is full of possibility. Thank you for sharing your hopes, dreams, ideas, and even criticisms over this past year. It is the honor of my lifetime to represent such a thoughtful, decent, and engaged community in Congress, and I look forward to another two years of listening to, learning from, and working on behalf of all of you. With that in mind, here’s a quick look back at what my team and I have accomplished together so far, by the numbers:

To see just how meaningful our progress was this year head over to my website at https://phillips.house.gov/. There you can see more about what we accomplished, share your ideas, and stay up to date on all the progress ahead. Before I let you go, John, I'd like your feedback on how you'd like to stay in touch with our office in 2023: 

Lastly, my offices will be closed for the holidays starting this afternoon and will return to normal business hours on Tuesday, January 3rd. We will continue to monitor your messages to ensure we’re responsive to any time sensitive requests, however, if you or a loved one needs immediate assistance with a federal agency, please call and leave a message or email my office and one of my outstanding team members will get back to you as soon as possible.

Keep the faith, keep in touch, and please stay safe this holiday season! 

Dean Phillips
Member of Congress

                                        Resources For You

My team and I are here to serve every person and every corner of our community. I want to make sure you have the resources you need to succeed:

1. Find savings near you: From gas to groceries, and childcare to healthcare, I’m hearing from Minnesotans who are struggling to keep up with the rising costs of essentials. Visit phillips.house.gov/inflation to find lower prices near you.
2. Nominate a Vietnam-era veteran: As a Gold Star Son and Member of Congress, I’m honoring Vietnam-era veterans in our area. Visit phillips.house.gov/Vietnam to nominate the veteran in your life for an official commemoration. 
3. Look before you book: Do you have international travel plans on the horizon? Make sure you are prepared before you book! Visit https://travel.state.gov/ to check your passport expiration date, apply for a passport, and much more.
4. Get your FDA-approved bivalent booster shot: Your decision to get a safe, free, and effective COVID-19 vaccine impacts our entire community. Everyone 12+ is eligible for the new booster, so visit https://mn.gov/booster to find yours.
5. Donuts with Dean: Welcoming Minnesotans to Washington is one of my favorite parts of this job. Let my office know if you'll be traveling to Washington, we'd love the opportunity share some conversation, and donuts, next time you’re in town!
