Happy New Year!

Thursday, December 29, 2016

Dear Neighbors,

Happy New Year! I hope your Christmas was joyful! We have just a few more days before the kids head back to school, and normal winter life resumes. If you’re heading out this New Year weekend, have fun, and be safe!

Triple A Award Nominees

I wanted to say a big congratulations to our local Triple A Award Nominees from our area! Jena Hauch and Jared Wiens from Maple Grove and Christina Boe and David Hainlen from Osseo have all excelled in the three A’s, academics, athletics, and the arts. Congrats, to these four, as they are exemplary members of our local schools. If you want to learn more about these students' achievements, click here.

Capitol Renovation

The restoration of our state Capitol is nearly complete, and the building will once again be open to the public. Entering my second term, I’ve only had a short time where the Capitol wasn’t under construction, and look forward to the openness this building will bring for you, the people of Minnesota. I encourage you to plan a visit; I’d love to show you around.

Session Starting

The New Year is fast approaching, and that means we'll be headed back to St. Paul for the legislative session. As always, please contact my office with any ideas, suggestions, or questions. I'm here to serve you, and look forward to your correspondence.

I can be reached via email at Rep.Dennis.Smith@house.mn, by phone at 651-296-5502, and US mail address: 13570 Grove Drive, #370, Maple Grove, MN, 55311.

Again, Happy New Year!

Dennis
