Legislative Update - Join Us For Tomorrow’s Town Hall

Dear Neighbors, 

We’re still in a bit of legislative limbo as we wait to see if Senate Republicans will agree to a special session. With a bipartisan framework in place and the broad strokes of a deal that would deliver sorely-needed assistance and resources to Minnesotans, we can’t afford to go into legislative hibernation. 

To discuss the state of things at the Capitol and to hear from you, my District 60 colleagues and I will be holding an in-person town hall tomorrow, Thursday, June 16 from 6:30-7:30pm at Van Cleve Park (outside if skies are clear, inside if not).

We’ll also be holding another one later this month - virtually - on Saturday, June 25 from 10:30-11:30am. You can RSVP for the login information here.

There is a lot to cover and I hope to see you there!

Frontline Worker Bonus Application Now Open!

Last week, the application system for the Frontline Worker Bonuses went live. This session, House Democrats successfully fought for a $500 million investment in these bonuses, which will go out to the Minnesotans who kept our state running during the darkest days of the pandemic. You can find more information here. The application period will be open through July 22, closing at 5pm. It is not a first-come first-served basis.

After processing and verification of the applications, as well as a 15-day period for denied applicants to contest those decisions, the final list of eligible applicants will be determined. Each eligible applicant will be provided with an equal payment. All applications will move through the process at the same time and payments will be forwarded for processing together.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you have on these bonuses, our upcoming town halls, or our legislative work. 

Sincerely, 

Sydney Jordan

State Representative
