A note from Senator John Jasinski

Minnesotans can be proud of the work their legislature did this year. Our new governor, Tim Walz, proved to be quite a stark contrast to his predecessor, Mark Dayton. He has always been very responsive to my concerns and my feedback. The key to getting things done in government is having great relationships, and I am proud to say that even though Gov. Walz and I may not always agree, I know he won’t play games. That level of trust means we can get a lot done for Minnesotans – especially folks here in Dodge, Rice, Steele, and Waseca Counties.

If you have any questions about this year’s budget or any issues we worked on, please reach out to me any time. I also attend as many community events as possible, so if you see me around please stop me to say hello!

It is an honor to serve as your state Senator.
