St. Paul – Minnesota’s 2019 Legislative Session officially began January 8th with Rep. Jon Koznick (R-Lakeville) and 133 other state representatives being sworn into office during a ceremony at the State Capitol.
“It is an incredible honor and privilege to be Lakeville’s representative in St. Paul,” Koznick said. “As we begin another legislative session, I remain as committed as ever to working to ensure that Lakeville and Minnesota remain a great place to live, work, and raise a family.”
Most of Rep. Koznick’s work during the first months of session will take place in House committees. For the 2019-2020 legislative biennium, Koznick will serve on the Jobs and Economic Development Finance Division, Transportation Finance and Policy Division, and the Subcommittee on Local Government. Additionally, Rep. Koznick was elected by his peers in the House Republican Caucus to serve as an assistant minority leader.
“My committee assignments give me the opportunity to work closely on the issues that matter most to Lakeville residents. Issues like access to good-paying jobs and increased funding for our roads and bridges,” Koznick said. “I am also committed and looking forward to serving in caucus leadership to provide direction for more efficient state government that provides greater opportunity and freedoms for Minnesotans.”
Rep. Koznick was joined by his father at today’s swearing-in ceremony.
“I am proud to have my father with me at today’s swearing-in ceremony,” said Koznick. “I am grateful for all his support and for the opportunities he and my family and friends have provided to me.”
