Update: Nov. 13
Now that the results from Nov. 6th are known, I want to thank all my constituents in District 10A. I am honored and humbled by your continued confidence and will continue to work hard to represent ALL members of District 10A.
I also want to thank all my former constituents who are now in District 10B for your six years of support. Although I will no longer be representing you after December 31st, I feel confident you will be well represented by my friend and your new representative, Joe Radinovich.
My number one priority will be to make sure you can continue to count on Representative Ward to make sure that your voices, needs and desires are heard at the State Capitol. You can count on me to “walk the walk, not just talk the talk.”
I expect each day of the next two years to bring new challenges, excitement, joy, and sometimes frustration as I work to make things better for all of you. I truly enjoy hearing from so many of you and will listen and address your concerns and requests. I will continue to introduce legislation that will benefit not only our district’s specific needs, but also the needs of working families, seniors, those less fortunate, disabled, students, small business owners, children and veterans of Minnesota. You will see me around District 10A as I attend as many community events and meetings as possible to stay in touch with you.
Minnesota’s budget challenge is not over. I am hoping that with the changes in the Legislature you made happen, that we and the Governor will be able to reach a fair, balanced and long term budget agreement that will protect and advance your agenda, “The People’s Agenda.” You and thousands of other Minnesotans have consistently told me your agenda includes: living wage jobs, sustainable, predictable, fair and adequate education funding, a fair and progressive tax system, adequately funding hospitals and nursing homes, access to comprehensive, affordable and portable health care, and protection of the environment.
I am hopeful that compromise and working together in bipartisan ways will replace the gridlock and partisan politics which led to the longest government shutdown in the history of our state. I have never been more hopeful, optimistic and enthusiastic about what the future holds for our nation, state and District 10A.
I believe my experience, seniority, proven leadership and knowledge of the legislative process will enable me to help address Minnesota’s economic issues and to develop a long term, stable and balanced budget. The challenge will be to accomplish this without destroying the things that make Minnesota a great place to live. Again, I believe that with a balanced bi-partisan approach this can be done. Together we will make a difference. Together, we will move Minnesota forward.
I ask you to stay in touch with me. I want to hear from you on the issues. Check my legislative web site and subscribe to email newsletters to get more detail on legislative happenings.
I assure you I will continue to work tirelessly to represent you. Once again, thank you for the opportunity you have blessed me with. Your feedback and input is my most valuable tool. I can't do it without you.
God bless,
John Ward
State Representative
District 10A
