________________________________________
ST. PAUL, MN. Susan Allen (DFL-Minneapolis) made history today when she was officially sworn-in by Judge Robert Blaeser as State Representative for District 61B. Allen was joined by a large number of family members, friends and supporters in the House Chamber for the swearing-in ceremony followed by a traditional American Indian honor song performed by the Little Thunderbirds.
I am humbled by the opportunity to serve my state and community. It is an honor to represent the people of District 61B and I am eager to get to work on issues that will bring positive change to our neighborhoods including creating job opportunities, protecting the environment, and making taxes fairer for working people," said Rep. Allen. I also promise to do all I can to reverse state policies and oppose divisive constitutional amendments that hurt the residents of District 61B.
The thoughts and ideas of my constituents are the best guide I have for my new job. Please always feel free to contact me with your comments and suggestions on how we can improve our community and chart out a better future for Minnesota, said Rep. Allen.
Rep. Susan Allen is a member of the LGBT community and the first American Indian woman to be elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives. She is a tax and Indian law attorney and is filling the seat vacated by former Rep. Jeff Hayden, who was elected to the Minnesota Senate in October.
