**Quick Start to the Legislative Session**
Legislators gaveled in for the 2023 legislative session on Tuesday. Rev. Paul Feela, former pastor of Lumen Christi Church in our community, delivered a wonderful opening prayer.?I was honored to take the oath of office again. The entire day was a stirring reminder of how precious and important our democracy is.
The day after the opening ceremonies, on Wednesday, House and Senate leadership unveiled a preview of our priorities, which will help Minnesotans to thrive. You can watch the press conference?here [ [link removed] ]. That same day, my first committee meeting, in Taxes, was to hear and pass a "tax conformity" bill with bipartisan support. We are hitting the ground running!

*Reproductive Rights*
Minnesota is fortunate to have our own state version of Roe v. Wade, called Doe v. Gomez. That court decision recognizes the right of Minnesotans to make their own reproductive health care decisions. However, we know that court decisions are only as strong as the judges that uphold them. This?is why one of the first bills moving?at the Legislature is the Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act. I'm?proud to be a co-author on this bill, which has passed its first committee. I expect that it will come to the House floor soon.

*Keep in Touch*
Events will move especially quickly this session. Please don?t hesitate.?I hope to see you on Saturday! Thank you for the honor of serving our community again this term.
