Zeleznikar Takes Oath of Office as 2025-2026 Legislative Session Begins
St. Paul, MN– Minnesota’s 2025 Legislative Session officially began January 14th as Rep. Natalie Zeleznikar, R-Frendenberg Township, and 66 other state representatives took the oath of office during a ceremony at the State Capitol in St. Paul.
“I am looking forward to another year representing you, your family, and our communities in St. Paul,” Zeleznikar said. “With a looming $5 billion deficit, it is imperative that all legislators come together to find solutions to ensure Minnesota has a budget that addresses the $500 million in fraud and deficit spending.”
Zeleznikar’s top priority for the first month of session is making Minnesota affordable which is one of the six pillars House Republicans will be focusing on this session. This includes ensuring an energy plan that includes propane, natural gas, coal, wind and solar for reliable and affordable energy. Reducing taxes and ensuring no new taxes. Supporting family and free-standing childcare providers to grow. And ensuring a strong commercial tax base to build strong communities and lower the individual and family tax burden for property taxes which fund core services in our communities.
