ST. PAUL – Rep. Paul Anderson took his fourth oath of office to serve in the Minnesota House of Representatives Tuesday at the Capitol.
The Republican farmer from Starbuck is serving as chair of the House Agriculture Policy Committee this biennium. He also will be on Ag. Finance, Education Finance, and the Property Taxes & Local Government Finance Division.
Anderson’s post as an agriculture chair will allow him to continue working on issues that impact Greater Minnesota, something he has made a priority his first three terms in the House.
“Our top job this session will be to set a new two-year budget and I look forward to that challenge,” Anderson said. “It always is a good feeling to start a session fresh with goals and ideas of what you would like to accomplish. For me, serving as an ag. chair will really put me in position to make decisions that will help our area.”
“One thing I pride myself on as a legislator is being in touch with the people I represent,” Anderson said. “The feedback I receive from constituents helps me continue doing my best to voice their thoughts, ideas and concerns at the Capitol.”
