Hello friends and neighbors,
I hope you have been enjoying your summer and have found some time to relax. In addition to hosting several town hall meetings throughout our district and having shoulder surgery, I have been meeting with our area school boards, as well as attending multiple chamber of commerce, city council, and county board meetings to provide a review of the 2017 Legislative Session.

I also attended “Breakfast on the Farm” with Dave and Ann Buck.

For those of you who haven’t seen or haven’t had a chance to read my interview with the Red Wing Republican Eagle regarding my first session serving you in St. Paul, check it out here!
