As a former educator, I know first-hand the value of student mental health. @MNHouseDFL is investing in student and educator mental health support and other critical services. Every student should have access to a school counselor or social worker.

After much reflection, I have decided to not run for reelection to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2022. You can read my official statement below.

Yesterday, I visited @LiftBridge with my colleague, @RepWolgamott. Next session, we’ll be working on legislation to lift the growler cap, allowing breweries like Lift Bridge to continue to sell growlers without fear of reaching the current limit.

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

My fellow colleagues were able to hear about our need to redevelop the area around the Allen S. King Coal Plant, restore the Washington County Historic Courthouse, and improve Highway 36 and Lake Elmo Avenue. I look forward to advocating for these projects this session!

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

Thank you to the House Capital Investment Committee for joining us in Oak Park Heights! Their previous visit two years ago resulted in the successful funding of the Manning Avenue Interchange, and we had several new projects to present to them this year. #mnleg

Thanks to vaccines, a fun, healthy summer is upon us, and our compromise budget preserves and protects our great outdoors while also promoting all the enjoyment they have to offer.

Proud to have fought for the inclusion of our tourism industry in this budget. #mnleg

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

After a record-breaking amount of debate, we passed our Commerce, Climate & Energy Budget - including my legislation to support workers and communities with the transition to clean energy.

Thanks to Reps. @Jamiemlong and @zackstephenson for getting this over the finish line!

[Connie Bernardy @conniebernardy]

Such an incredible team of amazing women! It is an honor to craft this bill together to help students and families thrive. #mnleg

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

We have a finite amount of time to get our work done for Minnesotans, but House Republicans chose to filibuster bipartisan bills for the entire day yesterday.

We're back on the House floor this morning to help Minnesotans recover from the past year - because that's our job.

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

Today is a historic day. For the first time, the MN House is voting on our bill to legalize cannabis for adult use & expunge records of people convicted of non-violent offenses involving cannabis.

Our debate starts at 4:30pm and you can watch it live at https://t.co/fd3kEjuae0.

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

I'm celebrating Earth Day by passing our Environment and Natural Resources Bill. This will join our Climate and Legacy Bills in protecting and preserving the outdoors we hold so dear in Minnesota.

We must do all we can to deliver a better Earth to future generations. #mnleg

[Rep. Shelly Christensen @Shelly39B]

The measures we passed last year after the killing of George Floyd were important, but they were always meant to be the first of many steps. In the Minnesota House, we've continued the fight for meaningful public safety reform.

Why hasn't it been the same in the Senate?
