Happy August to you all-

It has been a busy few weeks since the last district 2 update!

This month, we have a number of opportunities for resident's to participate and help advance Ramsey County priorities (provided below). Please share your voice by filling out a survey or attending community open houses!

We also have some great community festivals coming up this weekend and I hope to see you at Saint Anthony Village Fest or Little Canada Canadian Days. I am also looking ahead to next weekend's New Brighton Stockyard Days!

In addition to staying busy in the community, I was also sworn as President of the National Association of Counties at our annual conference. I look forward to maximizing this opportunity to lift up and enhance the work we are doing here locally.

My office continues to serve constituent needs via phone (651-266-8359) or email (caitlyn.duin@ramseycounty.us).

Sincerely,

Mary Jo
