Minnesota’s 2021 Legislative Session officially began January 5 with Senator David Senjem (R-Rochester) and 66 other State Senators swearing-into office during a ceremony at the State Capitol.

“It is an honor to return to St. Paul and represent the amazing people of Dodge and Olmsted counties,” said Senator Senjem. “This past year has been incredibly difficult for all Minnesotans, but finally, we can see some light at the end of the tunnel. As we begin this legislative session, Minnesota still faces some looming challenges, most a result of the pandemic. I look forward to reaching across the aisle and working bipartisanly to open Minnesota up safely while delivering government efficiently and protecting our taxpayers from out-of-control spending.”

During the first few weeks of the session, most of Sen. Senjem’s work will take place in Senate Committees. During the 2021-2022 session, Senator Senjem has been appointed to serve on the following committees:

• Chair of the Energy and Utilities Finance and Policy Committee
• Vice-Chair of the Capital Investment Committee
• Environment and Natural Resources Policy and Legacy Finance
