Dear Neighbors, Thank you for granting me the incredible honor of serving our community in the Minnesota Legislature this year. For the first time in a decade, Minnesotans elected a unified state government under DFL control. Not only that, we began the 2023 legislative session with the most diverse legislature in state history. These elements proved to be a recipe for success, and I’m incredibly proud of the accomplishments we brought home for our community and the entire state. Together, we protected reproductive rights, addressed our housing crisis, made major moves towards clean energy, delivered the largest tax cut in state history, strengthened gun violence prevention measures, legalized adult-use cannabis, expanded voting rights, prioritized our students, and so much more. I’m especially proud of the $2.6 billion in infrastructure investments I passed as Chair of the House Capital Investment Committee, $43.5 million of which goes directly to our community. I couldn’t do this work without you, and with this year’s session complete, I’m excited to share our accomplishments and start the conversation about the work that still needs to be done. Looking ahead to the 2024 legislative session, I’m hoping to hear more perspectives and feedback from our neighbors. As part of this effort, I’d appreciate it if you took part in the new Minnesota Values Project survey. You can take the survey by clicking this link. |
