ST. PAUL—Minnesota state legislators gathered at the Capitol today for the first day of the 2017 Legislative Session. The 90th session of the state legislature includes 23 new members of the Minnesota House of Representatives who were sworn into office at noon on Tuesday, along with their colleagues, including first-term Representative Erin Maye Quade (DFL—Apple Valley).
“I am proud to represent the community where I grew up,” said Rep. Maye Quade. “I have always been committed to community and I’m looking forward to representing my neighbors in St. Paul. It’s fitting that Representative Mack, a graduate of Apple Valley High School, will pass the baton to me, an Eastview High School graduate.”
In late December, Speaker Kurt Daudt appointed Rep. Maye Quade to three committees: Education Innovation Policy; Job Growth & Energy Affordability Policy and Finance; and the Veterans Affairs Division.
With a number of problems to address, Rep. Maye Quade has committed to bipartisanship and common-ground solutions.
“I am excited about my committee assignments; there is a lot of bipartisan work to do for our students, veterans, and businesses. These committees are a great opportunity to work with my Republican colleagues to find common-ground to move Minnesota forward,” said Rep. Maye Quade.
Rep. Maye Quade encourages constituents to contact her with any comments, questions, concerns, or ideas on any legislative topic. Rep. Maye Quade can be reached by phone at 651-296-5506 or by email at rep.erin.mayequade@house.mn. Rep. Maye Quade also encourages community members to sign up to receive periodic legislative updates through email at www.house.mn/57a.
