A note from Senator Jeremy Miller

Greetings from the district! The 2019 legislative session is complete and it feels good to be back home doing the dishes, playing ball with the boys, and substituting a suit and tie at the Capitol for jeans and steel toes at the scrap yard.

Session was long and intense, but overall, very successful – thanks in large part to the strong, bipartisan relationships I’ve built. Strong relationships breed trust, and when we trust each other we can get a lot done. For me, it’s about working together and getting things done for the people of Minnesota.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns about the work I’m doing at the Capitol, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Or find me at an event around the district and say hello!   It’s a tremendous honor to serve the people of Fillmore, Houston, and Winona counties and I’m extremely thankful to all of you for your support. Hope to talk to you soon!
