BUESGENS WINS GOVERNMENT WATCHDOG GROUP'S AWARD
Local Legislator One of Only 15 House Members to Receive the Honor

ST. PAUL -- State Rep. Mark Buesgens (R-Jordan) has been named a 2000 Honoree of the Legislative Evaluation Assembly of Minnesota (LEA), a non-partisan organization established to keep the citizens of Minnesota informed of the voting performance of each Senator and Representative in the Minnesota State Legislature. Buesgens is one of only 15 members in the 134-member Minnesota House of Representatives to win the award.

LEA bases its evaluation on the traditional American principles of constitutionalism, limited government, free enterprise, legal and moral order with justice, and individual liberty and dignity. Rep. Buesgens has been honored by LEA each year since his initial election to the Minnesota House in 1998.

Buesgens lives in Jordan with his wife, Sara, and their four children. He represents the people of Jordan, Shakopee, Prior Lake and Jackson, Louisville, Sand Creek and Spring Lake Townships.
