On Tuesday, January 5th, Senator Zach Duckworth (R-Lakeville) was sworn in for his first term in the Minnesota State Senate.
“I’m honored to be representing the people of Senate District 58 in the Minnesota Senate and I’m ready to get to work on their behalf,” said Senator Duckworth. “I’m dedicated to focusing on moving Minnesota forward through these challenging times. This year may look different as we continue contending with COVID, but through hard work and collaboration we can chart a course toward the safe and successful reopening of our state.”
Senator Duckworth was appointed as the Vice Chair of the Senate’s Committee on Housing and will also serve as a member of the Education, Veterans, and Metro Government committees.
“As a Veteran, previous schoolboard member, real estate professional, and small business owner I’m happy to put my years of experience to good use on the committees I look forward to serving on. I’ll be focused on lowering the tax burden on Minnesotans, getting our kids back in school safely, supporting the reopening of our businesses, advocating for government efficiency, and the elimination of wasteful spending.”
In addition to serving on these committees, Senator Duckworth has also been appointed to Senate Republicans’ leadership team.
