Today, the senate passed an essential drought relief proposal that will bring much needed support to our farmers. I am glad that we were able to put politics aside and come together for the good of Greater Minnesota! https://t.co/I9wxtOF2JN

Taking time to remember Senator David Tomassoni after his passing last week. In the legislature, Sen. Tomassoni sought common ground and throughout his career, he fought tirelessly for greater Minnesota. He was an example to all of us and I remain grateful for time spent with him
