Hello from the State Capitol,
State lawmakers returned to St. Paul for “Opening Day” ceremonies at the State Capitol on January 3. I was among the 134 representatives who were sworn in as members of the Minnesota House for the 2023 and 2024 sessions.
Redistricting means that I am now representing Minnesota House District 15B, which includes all of Brown and Redwood counties and part of Blue Earth County.
It remains such an honor to serve the residents in our area, and I am looking forward to bringing your priorities forward in the Minnesota House.
Also, I was recently appointed Assistant Minority Leader in the Minnesota House and named as the Republican Lead on two House committees – Elections Finance and Policy and Ethics. I’ll also serve on the Rules committee.
Moving forward, please contact me with any of your legislative questions or concerns. My phone number is 651-296-9303, and my e-mail is rep.paul.torkelson@house.mn.gov. If you’re looking to send a letter, I can be reached at 261 State Office Building, 100 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155.
Have a good weekend,
Paul
