Dr. Bill Lieske (R-Lonsdale) was officially sworn in for his first term in the Minnesota Senate on Tuesday, when the legislature convened for the 2023-2024 session. Sen. Lieske represents Senate District 58, which includes communities in Dakota, Goodhue, Rice, and Scott Counties.

“I am honored and humbled that the good folks of Dakota, Goodhue, Rice, and Scott Counties have chosen me to serve as their voice in the Minnesota Senate,” Lieske said. “It is an incredible responsibility, and I will work my hardest each and every day to live up to their expectations.

“I ran for office because government has grown far too large,” Lieske continued. “Just look at Minnesota’s record budget surplus. It’s outrageous. We have a duty to return that surplus to the taxpayers with real, permanent relief – especially since so many people are still being crushed by soaring inflation. I am excited to get straight to work on the issues that are on people’s minds.”

Sen. Lieske encourages constituents to ask questions, provide feedback, and offer ideas. He can be reached at his capitol office at 2327 Minnesota Senate Building, 95 University Ave, St. Paul; by email at sen.bill.lieske@senate.mn; or by phone at 651-296-5019.

Sen. Lieske will serve as a member of the Health and Human Services Committee and the Labor Committee. He lives in Lonsdale with his wife and two children, where he runs a chiropractic clinic. He is a graduate of Northwestern Health Sciences University.
