Friends,
Friday marked the end of the fifth week of the 2023 Legislative Session. Yesterday we moved into week six, while also recognizing the past leaders of our great nation. To do so, myself as well as many of my colleagues gave remonstrances on the Senate Floor to honor those who have served as President of the United States. My own, which was dedicated to presidentJohn F. Kennedy can be seen here.
You can also click on the image below to see the full video of all presidential remonstrances done by some of my fellow legislators.
Protecting public employee retirements
Thursday, I testified against House Bill 2601. This bill would put public employee retirement funds at risk and has the potential to result in a significant loss of retirement funds for state employees. you can watch my testimony here.
Floor Remonstrances and Courtesies
Wednesday was School Resource Officer Appreciation Day. I chose to recognize their importance to our students, teachers, and parents. I (listed?) two new pieces of legislation regarding school safety. You can watch the speech in its entirety here.
Last week was a big week for introductions on the floor. On Wednesday, I introduced my district Chief of Staff and oldest son, Reagan Knopp (Left). On Thursday I introduced my Legislative Assistant, Conner Barrie (Right). Both introductions can be seen in the links below.
