1. 2024 Legislative Survey - I Want to Hear From You
The 2024 Minnesota Legislative Session is just around the corner. I'd like to hear from you about your legislative priorities.
2. Upcoming Town Hall With Speaker Hortman - Come Say Hi!
I am hosting a town hall on Wednesday, February 21, from 6:30 - 8 pm, at the Mary Ann Young Center with House Speaker Melissa Hortman. I encourage you to come by to learn about the 2024 session and share your thoughts.
You can sign up for the town hall and presubmit questions here.
3. Looking Forward - Session Preview
I’ve spent a lot of time knocking doors, attending community meetings, and visiting with voters and businesses in our district since the end of the 2023 session. I got some excellent feedback to guide my 2024 priorities.
I continue to hear concerns about crime, especially crime by young people. I started my career almost two decades ago successfully reducing crime committed by teenagers here in the North Metro. I’m writing a bill for 2024 to surge resources to proven strategies to scale them up to drive crime rates down.
I also continue to hear concerns from manufactured home park residents in our district about high rent increases. I’m working on two bills for 2024 to help. The first bill aims to protect manufactured home park residents from unreasonable increases in their rent. The second bill will make it easier for residents who want to buy their parks to form co-ops to give them control to set their own rent and rules.
I’ll keep you updated with future efforts!
