The holiday train in Loretto was a fun experience. Many families came from the surrounding areas to take in the experience, donate canned goods to the local food shelf, and listen to Christmas music. Loretto Mayor Kent Koch presented a $4,500 check to the Hanover Food Shelf.

Yesterday I decorated some cookies with my friend Senator Ann Johnson Stewart (SD45) at her fundraiser at Excelsior Brewing. Thank you to all who came out on such a cold day to support Ann!

It was great to meet Anders Folk, Hennepin County Attorney candidate, at a gathering this evening. When I learned of his background with the Veterans Defense Project and advocating for veteran treatment courts in MN and across the U.S., I knew who I would support for Hennepin County Attorney.

84 years ago on December 7, 1941, was one of the worst attacks on America in our history, at US Naval base Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack killed more than two thousand Americans and sunk US war ships that remain underwater in the harbor to this day.

We prepared for the holidays in a truly Maple Grove way, with the parade at The Shoppes at Arbor Lakes, fire dancers, our Maple Grove Ambassador Scholarship Program, and the tree lighting sponsored by Osseo/Maple Grove American Legion Post 172 where I am a member. I hope you all had a great time!

Chip and I attended the annual Friends of the Angel Candlelight Memorial tonight. As a public servant, I have come to know several tragic losses in our community and have watched the families navigate their grief.

I dropped in at Keller Williams to see realtor and fellow Rotarian Jane Schmidt for their Santa Party! And got another photo with Santa!

For months, I have been saying that our country’s survival depends on us being able to see and respect one another as Americans, especially when we disagree. As a Christian, I unequivocally reject disparaging statements by our nation’s president against people with disabilities and Somali Americans.

I’m originally from smalltown ND. Ten years ago my husband and I chose district 37 to put down roots. I learned quickly about this community through serving in leadership positions on my church council, the rotary board, and at my American Legion post.

I am so proud of my work with Minnesota charities. This article summarizes some of my experiences with them in the last three years.

I was delighted to sit in a Medina City Council meeting last night where the city recognized Joshua McKinley’s 10 years on the PD, approved their annual budget and fee schedule, and reviewed a new 50 unit multifamily affordable housing complex.

It was so great to see Tom Lyons at @rotary_maple_grove and have him talk about the MN Veterans Pantry, a partnership among veterans service orgs, state and federal government to ensure no veteran in MN goes hungry. Visit www.mnvp.org/centurion-circle to learn more and to contribute!

Misuse of privately data, aggressive collections calls, falsified statements and ignoring federal law. Fraud, waste, and abuse against veterans of the most egregious kind. Companies like Trajector need to be held accountable.

Third stop on Small Business Saturday Heidi’s Growhaus in Corcoran. I bought a winter plant for my porch. They are serving hot cider and Christmas cookies, and there’s a bonfire to warm up while shopping the wares outside!

@thewoodsgifts was my 2nd small business Saturday stop. I have six nephews, and thanks to The Woods, I found something for four of the boys, making some serious Christmas shopping progress just this afternoon!

My first stop on Small Business Saturday was Mama’s Happy, a newer shop on Main Street in Maple Grove. I finally found a nice backpack purse! I have been looking for a bag like this for years.

My gym @crossfitunastamus does hero wods every Saturday. Today was the Colson in honor of Det. Jacai Colson who was killed in the line of duty March 13, 2016. A very challenging workout, great for the Saturday after Thanksgiving!
