 Greetings,
Summer is here, bringing longer days, warm sunshine, and countless opportunities to come together as a community. As we embrace this vibrant season, I invite you to celebrate all that makes our community thrive—whether it’s enjoying our parks, supporting local businesses, or connecting with neighbors at our many summer community events!
I want to acknowledge June 19 as Juneteenth—a powerful celebration of freedom, resilience, and progress. This day honors the strength and contributions of Black communities, acknowledges the challenges that remain, and reinforces our shared commitment to building a stronger future. I invite you to join in commemorating Juneteenth and reflecting on its significance. Please find details below for an upcoming event in celebration.
Thank you for your ongoing support and engagement!
My office is always here to answer your questions and navigate government services. Please feel free to reach out via phone at 651-266-8359 or email us at
