Neighbors,

Governor Walz has called a special session for Monday, July 13. Among the issues to be discussed include the governor’s ongoing emergency powers, and COVID-related measures to ensure the health and safety of Minnesotans.

My priorities include passage of the PROMISE Act to rebuild after the civil unrest. We will also continue to push for passage of police accountability measures.
