Mn Small Cities

There are over 700 cities in Minnesota with populations under 5,000 We make sure their voice is heard at the legislature and in Washington DC.

Today I introduced a stop-gap funding bill for struggling ambulance providers. The deficit is over $120 million statewide! The truth is, if we had a fix at the fed level on reimbursements, we wouldn’t be in this crisis. So this is a starting point #mnleg https://t.co/VIWF0ZhA63

Happy Birthday to one of MN’s longest serving mayors — Marvin Johnson! He once told me there was a snowstorm the day he was born. Fingers crossed for better weather today! Below is a great story about him from a few years ago. #mncities https://t.co/8jL9KpbQSk

The City of Tracy MN has a vibrant downtown with several historical buildings. But the small town of about 2,000 has also seen some population decline in recent years, and city officials and residents want to reverse that trend. #mncities https://t.co/sBWhGixvXV
