Elko New Market, MN—Representative Bob Vogel (R-Elko New Market) issued the following statement after last night’s storm that affected communities in Le Sueur and Scott Counties causing widespread property damage.
“I am encouraging anyone who suffered damage from storms on Thursday to look to trusted local companies to help repair property damage,” said Rep. Vogel. “We are fortunate that no one was seriously injured or killed. The rebuild and cleanup from this storm will likely take a significant amount of time and anyone who needs assistance in filing an insurance claim please contact my office or visit the Minnesota Department of Commerce’s disaster information center at: https://mn.gov/commerce/consumers/your-home/protect/dic/.”
Vogel encourages residents to beware of "storm-chasing" contractors urging them to not agree to a contract without checking their references and checking with the Department of Labor’s Residential Contractors Division at (651) 284-5069 or by visiting their website to confirm a contractor’s license: https://secure.doli.state.mn.us/lookup/licensing.aspx.
Representative Vogel’s legislative office can be reached by phone at 651-296-7065 or via email at rep.bob.vogel@house.mn.
