St. Paul, Minn.- Yesterday was the opening day of the 2019 legislative session, Rep. Cheryl Youakim (DFL – Hopkins) took the oath of office to represent District 46B for a third term in the Minnesota House of Representatives.
“Minnesotans care deeply about our state and we want to see one another succeed,” said Rep. Youakim. “Through our shared values, I am confident we can accomplish the things Minnesotans have asked for like affordable health care, a world class education for our kids, living wages for working families, a clean environment, and a solution for a sustainable transportation infrastructure. It is our job to come together to get things done.”
Late last month, Rep.
