Crookston, MINN— On Tuesday, November 22, 2016, House Republicans unveiled new committee chairs for the 2017-2018 legislative sessions. Representative Deb Kiel (R-Crookston) was named Chair of the Subcommittee on Aging and Long-Term Care, a committee that will focus on issues related to nursing homes, our state’s aging population and long-term care.
“It’s an honor to have been named a chair, and I am excited to get to work tackling critical issues related to our state’s aging population and long-term care,” said Rep. Kiel. “Last biennium, we did a lot of great work including providing vital funding increases for our nursing homes. I plan to build on those successes and keep our state moving in a positive direction, passing commonsense policies that work for Minnesotans.”
Kiel, who was first elected in 2010, serves District 1B in Northwest Minnesota.
