Dear neighbors,
Minnesota state legislators gathered at the Capitol on Tuesday for the first day of the 2017 Legislative Session. The 90th session of the state legislature includes 23 new members of the Minnesota House of Representatives with whom I was sworn into office with at noon on Tuesday.
I am proud to represent the community where I grew up. I have always been committed to community and I’m looking forward to representing my neighbors in St. Paul. It’s fitting that Representative Mack, a graduate of Apple Valley High School, will pass the baton to me, an Eastview High School graduate.
In late December, the Speaker appointed me to three committees: Education Innovation Policy; Job Growth & Energy Affordability Policy and Finance; and the Veterans Affairs Division.
I am excited about my committee assignments. There is a lot of bipartisan work to do for our students, veterans, and businesses. These committees are a great opportunity to work with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to find common-ground to move Minnesota forward.
Please me with any comments, questions, concerns, or ideas on any legislative topic. You can reach me at my office by phone at 651-296-5506 or by email at rep.erin.mayequade@house.mn. If you know someone who would like to receive my legislative updates they can sign up here.
Sincerely,
Erin Maye Quade
State Representative
