Rep. Carlson: The 2022 Legislative Session Convenes

Monday, January 31, 2022

St. Paul, MN – The 2022 Legislative Session convened at noon today. The session will focus on assisting Minnesotans most impacted by the pandemic and how they can be helped by our historic $7.7 billion positive budget balance. State Representative Andrew Carlson (DFL-Bloomington) released the following statement:

“The past two years have been very difficult, and the legislature has an opportunity to help Minnesotans most hurt by the fallout from COVID-19. House DFLers are focused on the issues important to Minnesotans - reducing everyday budget expenses like childcare, housing, and health care. We are also committed to fully funding public safety, so all Minnesotans feel safe where they live. 

“I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to help Minnesotans overcome all the challenges we’ve faced. We have made progress and will continue to work on solutions this session.”
