Senator Torrey Westrom, Representatives Jeff Backer, and Paul Anderson welcome voters to eight upcoming town hall meetings - one in each county of District 12 on August 19 and 20. The legislators will review the 2021 session and answer questions regarding ending Governor Walz's emergency powers, the overall COVID-19 response in the state of Minnesota, and discuss other legislative topics and concerns of local constituents.
