ST. PAUL – Minnesota’s 2024 legislative session began Monday and Rep. Ben Davis, R-Mission Township, said it’s good to be back at the Capitol working for District 6A residents with crucial issues on tap for the coming months.
“The biggest question right now is just how far Democrats will use their razor-thin, one-party control to push their extreme agenda on Minnesotans this year,” Davis said. “I hope people in our area are paying close attention to what’s going on at the Capitol. Last year, Democrats used their one-party control to spend the $17.5 billion surplus, raise taxes by $10 billion, allow abortions up until the moment of birth, continue destroying our mining industry, empower criminals, undermine our Second Amendment rights and more. Then there is the continued Democrat fascination with creating new ways to end life as they follow up their radical abortion laws by pushing assisted-suicide legislation.
“I continue pushing back against the Democrats’ radical proposals at every turn as a voice for our best interests. We need more balance in St. Paul. One of the very first things we need to do this session is fix the problem Democrats created by changing state law to restrict how school resource officers may de-escalate aggressive or violent situations. This has caused SROs to be pulled from schools around our state and, while Democrats are finally acknowledging the danger they are causing students, teachers and staff, it remains to be seen whether they are serious about enacting real solutions or if it will be more of their tired cosmetics to save political face.”
Davis said he welcomes correspondence throughout the session and encourages District 6A residents to call (651) 296-0172 or email rep.ben.davis@house.mn.gov to get in touch.
