Senator Carrie Ruud (R-Breezy Point) was recognized as the recipient for the prestigious Good Neighbor Award presented by the Minnesota Public Television Association President Patty Mester.

“I am honored to receive this award, and I want to thank Minnesota Public Television for being part of my neighborhood,” said Sen. Ruud. “Minnesota Public Television is a large part of what makes our state amazing. Every night MPR gives us the opportunity to hear the local news and a chance to learn about what’s happening in our communities. The projects created by public television allow Minnesotans the opportunity to learn about new and unique topics that touch hearts and minds.”
