The Lakeville delegation was in attendance this week at the Minnesota Chamber’s annual Session Priorities Legislative Kickoff. We had the chance to talk with our local legislators and hear from the Governor, and the leaders of both the House and Senate on their priorities for 2025. Thank you to Rep. Jeff Witte for hanging at our table. We chatted with Rep. Koznick and Sen. Duckworth as well – we just missed them when taking the photo!
