Rep. O’Neill still working for constituents amid COVID-19 outbreak
ST. PAUL – Representative Marion O’Neill, R-Maple Lake, said she will continue working to represent the citizens of District 29B, even as the Minnesota House of Representatives’ daily operations have been altered amid the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Minnesota House will remain in session as the state addresses the pressing public health issue surrounding COVID-19, with meetings and floor sessions taking place on an on-call basis until April 14. Alternate means of working will allow the House to respond to the needs of Minnesotans while also fully complying with Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) guidelines including social distancing, limiting large gatherings, telework, and increased cleaning measures necessitated by COVID-19.
“This is a situation unlike any we’ve seen in our lifetimes, and it underscores the importance of maintaining good communication with the people we serve as Legislators,” said O’Neill. “I will continue working hard for the people of District 29B, while following the safeguards put forward by state and national public health leaders. I would encourage constituents to reach out if there is help I can provide with regards to resources at the state level.”
MDH hotlines are available to assist Minnesotans, including a public line, (651) 201-3920, and a line for questions specifically related to schools and/or childcare, (651) 297-1304. Online resources also are available to help individuals stay up to date:
