Affordable Housing is a huge concern for residence of my community of all ages. It affects us all in one way or another. It could be that young adults choose to move away from our community or have to move back home to afford to live. Some folks leave for employment opportunities that allow them to afford housing. We need to make sure folks that love our rural area are able to find and keep the security and basic need of a roof over their heads.
Over 1/2 of MN 10,000 lakes are too polluted to swim in or eat the fish from. We must be diligent about protecting this dwindling and valuable precious resource we all depend on to protect the Minnesota way of life we all know and love.

Emy Minzel (D)
