An update from senator newton

Thank you, Blaine, Coon Rapids and Spring Lake Park! Your continued support in re-electing me to the MN Senate means a lot. In all my years of campaigns from school board to city council to the legislature, this was by far the most strange. I missed seeing you at parades and our conversations at the doors but I am thankful for those of you I was able to reach via telephone and email. If we didn’t have a chance to connect, please reach out at any time. 

I am honored to be returning to the senate to continue to serve the people of Senate District 37 as we get to work addressing the issues and challenges facing Minnesotans throughout the state. Over the next few months, I look forward to working with my colleagues in addressing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, passing a fair and balanced budget, and ensuring a strong economic recovery for all Minnesotans.

Sincerely, 
​Jerry
