Legislative Update Friends, We’re now in the final week of the legislative session, and we’re working around the clock to try and get a state budget done on time for Minnesotans. It’s been early mornings, late nights, and a lot of effort behind the scenes, but I’m staying focused on the priorities that matter most to our district. Whether it’s supporting school choice, standing up for families, or making sure your tax dollars aren't wasted, I’m committed to representing our community with common sense and accountability. Minnesotans Support School ChoiceLast Tuesday, I joined families, teachers, and students at the Capitol to push back against Governor Walz's proposed cuts to non-public schools. It’s simple, parents should have the freedom to choose what’s best for their kids, and that means supporting families in the private, charter, and homeschool sectors. I’m proud to continue fighting for real school choice in Minnesota.  Recognizing Athletic Excellence On Wednesday, I had the pleasure of meeting with the University of Minnesota Dance Team here at the Capitol. These talented young women just returned from the ICU World Championships where they brought home a gold medal in Pom and silver in Jazz, representing Team USA. With a record 23 national titles, the Gophers are proving that excellence is alive and well in Minnesota.  School Trips to the CapitolI also had a great time meeting with students from St. Francis Middle School and a Montessori school from Princeton. The Montessori students are doing a project on me, and I can’t wait to see what they come up with. I'm glad to see young people get involved and learn about their state government.  |
