Please RSVP to my legislative assistant, Eric Petersen, at eric.petersen@house.mn to receive the Zoom information. I’m looking forward to connecting online.
Community Meetings
Between committee hearings and a brief floor session on Monday, I met with our amazing City of Hopkins and St. Louis Park Fire Departments on Fire Safety Day. I am so grateful for their public service and commitment to keeping us safe. Later, I had the opportunity to connect with the St. Louis Park City Council to hear about the needs within the community. It's always a pleasure to partner with our city leaders as we work together to deliver for Minnesotans.
Democracy for the People Act
Announced in the House
Today, my House colleagues introduced a legislative package called the Democracy for the People Act, which aims to build a strong, inclusive democracy that works for Minnesotans of every race, region, political party, and generation. Highlights of the package include: ensuring state and local elections officials can access the critical federal Help America Vote Act (HAVA) funds they need for election security and infrastructure; establishing ballot drop box and return sites; and closing dark money loopholes. You can read more about the Democracy for the People Act here.
Stay in Touch
Please continue to reach out at rep.cheryl.youakim@house.mn or by leaving me a voicemail at 651-296-9889.

Thank you for the honor of serving our residents and families in the Minnesota House!
Stay well,
Cheryl Youakim
State Representative
