Sworn into the State Senate

After serving two years in the Minnesota State House of Representatives, on Tuesday, Jan. 3, I was sworn in for my first term in the Minnesota State Senate. I represent Senate District 9, which includes communities in Douglas, Grant, Otter Tail, Traverse, and Wilkin counties.

Key Committee Assignments for the Senate
|
During the 2023-2024 legislative session, I will be the only first-term Republican senator on the Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee, the Human Services Committee, and the Pension Commission. And recently, I was also added as a member of the Capital Investment Committee. I’m excited and honored to work on the issues these committees address. The most important part to me is looking out for my constituents by providing the oversight and transparency they deserve from the committee work I’ll be involved in. Everything these committees do should benefit Minnesotans in some way, without overspending, over-regulating, or over-promising our obligations.

My First Bill Fights Social Security Income Tax
|
Just a few days into the 2023 legislative session, I made my priorities clear by authoring my first bill. This bill would not just lower the state income tax on Social Security benefits but it would eliminate said tax completely.
|
Minnesota is 1 of just 11 states that still has a tax on Social Security benefits. Eliminating this tax would help seniors across the state, and I know that senior Minnesotans have more than earned this tax-relief. Minnesota is ready for this change, and I am working hard to regain the bipartisan support that this issue once had in the Senate.
