So encouraged this week by visits from constituents! It was especially fun to see students from MCCL’s Student Day at the Capitol who are passionate pro-life supporters. Thanks for visiting!

Ferry Street Rail Crossing Improvement
This week, I introduced a bill that would allocate funds to make necessary safety upgrades to the Highway 47/Ferry Street Rail Crossing in Anoka. This rail crossing is one of the busiest in the state and is in need of improvements to ensure the safety of Anoka residents.
I remain committed to seeing that our roads and bridges are made a priority and receive the improvements that are so desperately needed.
Bill Addressing Changes in Minnesota State High School League
I've signed on as a co-author on House File 1546. The purpose of this legislation is to protect and provide privacy and safety of all students enrolled in public schools. Additionally, it provides order and dignity in restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, showers, and other facilities where students are changing clothes in the presence of others
You can read the bill here.
