Legislative Update from Rep. Duane Quam

Friday, January 24, 2025

As we begin a new legislative session, I want to thank you for your trust in me to serve as your representative and voice. It is truly an honor to work on behalf of our neighbors, communities, and the hardworking people, families, and businesses in our district. I am committed to representing your values and priorities at the Capitol and ensuring that state government works for you.

Here to Work for You

The start of a new legislative session is always an exciting time, filled with opportunities to focus on the issues that matter most to Minnesotans. I want you to know that my commitment is clear: I am here to work for you and address the challenges that impact our community and state.

This session, I am focused on advancing policies that reflect our shared priorities. Every decision I make at the Capitol is guided by what’s best for our community and state. Whether it’s advocating for fiscal responsibility, supporting students and families, or ensuring the integrity of our elections, I am here to listen to your concerns and take action on your behalf.

This session is about more than passing laws—it’s about solving real problems and delivering meaningful results for the people of Minnesota. That’s why I am committed to showing up, rolling up my sleeves, and getting the job done. Your priorities are my priorities, and I’m ready to make a difference.

Committee Assignments for 2025

This session, I am serving on the following committees, where I will focus on advancing policies that make government more efficient, transparent, and responsive to the needs of Minnesotans:

  • Education Finance: Overseeing education funding to ensure resources are directed to students and classrooms, rather than bureaucracy.
  • State Government Finance and Policy: Evaluating government programs to eliminate waste and ensure taxpayer dollars are spent responsibly.
  • Chair, Elections and Government Operations: Working to improve the integrity of Minnesota’s elections by ensuring they are secure, transparent, and fair for all voters. Helping the different levels and parts of government work together for you.

These assignments align closely with my priorities and allow me to focus on issues that directly impact our district and state.

Charting a Path Forward for Minnesota

As we move forward this session, I remain focused on policies that will make a real difference for our district and all of Minnesota. Our work centers on six key pillars: stopping fraud and waste, making life more affordable, strengthening public safety, improving education, ensuring taxpayer dollars are used responsibly, and building for the future. These priorities reflect the values of our community, and I am determined to see them through.

Thank you again for trusting me to be your voice at the Capitol. I am honored to represent you and look forward to working together to achieve results that matter to you, your families, and our community.
