Thank You

I am writing to thank the voters of District 47B for providing me with a chance to serve you in the Minnesota House of Representatives. It is an honor to be elected, and I will work hard on your behalf.

I was happy to meet so many of you this spring, summer and fall at your front doors. We have a strong community and I am proud to be part of it. Voters told me that they expect me to get the job done with regard to improving transportation in our community. Our community also values education - from early childhood education through K-12 and college - and we want our schools to be preserved and strengthened, rather than cut. I look forward to advocating for fair funding for our schools as your State Representative, continuing the efforts that I and many other parent volunteers from our districts have made for the past six years. Working across party lines, I know we can make progress on both our area's transportation and education needs.

Please feel free to contact me by telephone at (612) 386-4808 or by email at hortman@visi.com. I look forward to carrying your concerns to our State Capitol. Again, thank you for the privilege of serving you.

Sincerely,

Melissa Hortman
