A note from Senator Julie Rosen

I’m proud to say that after years and years of work, the opioid crisis response bill that I have worked so hard on finally became law. There were a lot of successes this legislative session – including historic funding for schools, the first middle class income tax cut in almost twenty years, and billions more for transportation – but the opioid bill is far and away the highlight. It took years of work, cooperation, debate, and relationship building, but the result is an incredible victory for Minnesota families and communities. We still have a lot more work to do, but I am confident it will save hundreds, perhaps thousands, of lives.

If you have any questions or comments about an issue that came up this year, please don’t hesitate to let me know. And if you see me around town, please don’t hesitate to say hello! It is an honor and a privilege to serve as your voice in the Minnesota Senate!
