Looking back with gratitude and appreciation
It has been a privilege to serve southwestern Minnesota and advocate for the people and communities we call home. Hearing directly from you on the issues you find meaningful allows us to best represent our region in the Minnesota Legislature.
Before and after each legislative session, we enjoyed holding town hall meetings in communities across our districts. As neither of us is seeking re-election, the town hall meetings on May 27 served as the last in a series that began in 2011. We are so thankful for the constituents who attended and shared their thoughts over the years.
A lot of hard work goes into hosting each meeting, and we would like to highlight some of the people who made the town halls possible.
We appreciate the local newspapers and radio stations for highlighting these events and helping spread the word throughout the community. We thank Tracy’s mayor, city council members, and city administrator, who consistently supported and participated in these discussions and for the plaques we received. We are also grateful to the facilities that held these meetings.
Thank you for all the support and trust you have shown us. It has truly been the honor of a lifetime.
