Legislative UpdateDear Friends and Neighbors, After what felt like the longest winter ever, it finally feels like spring is actually here—and let me tell you, it’s been a breath of fresh air. There’s nothing quite like seeing the trees bud, hearing birds sing in the morning, and spotting neighbors out and about again. It just makes everything feel a little lighter. It’s been so good being back in the district this past week—catching up with folks, visiting schools and businesses, and hearing directly from so many of you. These conversations are what ground me and remind me why this work matters. As I head back to the Capitol, I’m feeling grateful, focused, and ready to get back to it. We’ve got some big items on the table, and I’m hopeful we can finish strong with practical, thoughtful solutions that make life better for Minnesotans. Thanks for staying connected—it means a lot. Let’s keep moving forward, together. Wishing You a Blessed Easter! As we celebrate the Easter season, I want to take a moment to reflect on the deeper meaning of this time of renewal, grace, and hope. Easter reminds us of the powerful message of resurrection — that no matter the challenges we face, there is always the promise of new beginnings. In the midst of our busy lives, it’s easy to feel burdened by the weight of daily struggles. But Easter is a beautiful reminder that through faith, we are never alone. Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, followed by His victory over death, offers us the ultimate hope that we can overcome any hardships. This season calls us to lean on the love of God, embrace one another in kindness, and renew our commitment to living lives of service, compassion, and grace. It is a time for each of us to reflect on the blessings we have and to consider how we can make a difference in the lives of those around us. As your representative, I am inspired by the strength and resilience of our community. Together, we are moving forward with faith, hope, and a shared commitment to build a brighter future for all. Let us keep one another in prayer, supporting each other as we continue to grow and serve. May this Easter bring peace to your hearts, joy to your homes, and hope for tomorrow. Blessings to you and your loved ones! Looking Ahead!As we embrace the season of renewal and hope, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for your unwavering support. It is a true blessing to represent such a dedicated and vibrant community, and I am continually inspired by your trust and partnership. Just as the world around us is blossoming this spring, I am energized and ready to continue working on behalf of our shared vision for a brighter future.
