In a culmination of 33 years in the classroom and 6 years on the Education Committee, I am honored to be the next Chair of the MN Senate Education Policy Committee. I can't wait to make real and important changes for MN's children and all those involved in our education systems.
Sworn in today for my second term in the Minnesota Senate. I will do my utmost best to continue to serve the 80,000 residents of Minnetonka and Eden Prairie that I represent. It is truly an honor and a privilege. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Cwod https://t.co/xh1EXTs64E
I'm proud to author the Boundary Waters Permanent Protection Bill (SF 763) introduced today. Only a permanent ban on sulfide-ore copper mining in the BWCA's watershed can prevent the near-certain risk of contamination of the BWCA's pristine waters #mnleg #savethebwca https://t.co/QSMPzi7wY5
Today, for the first time in my service as Senator, I was honored to call the MN Education Policy Committee to order as Chairman. It<U+2019>s officially time to do the important work for our students, teachers, and education systems. We will begin to hear legislation next week.
RT @FriendsBWCAW: BREAKING! MN Supreme Court upholds decision to strike down PolyMet’s permit to mine.
Thank you to the people of Eden Prairie and Minnetonka for putting your trust in me for the next 2 years. It is the honor of my life to represent you in the State Senate.
The Minnesota Senate performed something worthy of being remembered last night. I am a proud supporter of HF 7 and voted yes for our children's, children's, children. https://t.co/CECqq6fHn9
I just answered every question on Jeopardy. I even got a few correct. Eden Prairie graduate Nibir Sarma did much better than me taking home the national collegiate championship. Congrats Nibir. https://t.co/rXkJ5nD6pS
This record budget surplus gives us the opportunity to invest in Minnesotans smartly and surely. It is the time to think big and accomplish the work the people of Minnesota asked of us and elected us to do, especially funding education. Let's get to work!
