Legislative Update- January 5, 2017

Thursday, January 5, 2017

Dear Neighbor,

Happy New Year! I hope you were able to spend some quality time with friends and family over the holiday season.

Tuesday, January 3 marked the first day of the legislative session. It is an honor to represent our district. I’m pleased to report I have been appointed as the DFL Lead on the Transportation and Regional Governance Policy Committee. In this position, I look forward to working on improving our multimodal transportation system to create a prosperous Minnesota for our businesses and people of all ages and abilities. I will continue to push for needed resources, transparency and accountability. Additionally, I will serve on the Higher Education and Career Readiness Policy and Finance and the Transportation Finance Committees.

Our Capitol building restoration project has been completed. Public spaces are more numerous and accessible, and the attention to detail is outstanding. I invite you to schedule a time to see for yourself and stop by to visit me. The building reopened to the public on Tuesday. Click here more information on booking a tour.

I’d like to thank the residents of Fridley, New Brighton, and Spring Lake Park for the opportunity to serve the community where I grew up. I will continue to work to bring people together and be a voice for you. If there is any way I can be of assistance to you or if you have input on any legislative matter, please give me a call at
651-296-5510 or email me at rep.connie.bernardy@house.mn. I’d love to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Connie Bernardy
State Representative
