It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve the residents of Columbia Heights, Fridley, northern St Anthony and Hilltop in the Minnesota House of Representatives over the past six years.

As you may know, redistricting has changed the boundaries of the legislative districts throughout the state. I am pleased that the new district I serve, 41B, will continue to include all of Columbia Heights and Hilltop, will now cover all of St. Anthony, and will include southern New Brighton. I am eager to get to know the residents in the areas that are now a part of this new district.

The past few years have been challenging for us all. We need to work together to move forward in these changing times. In that light, it is important that I hear from you so we can find common ground in our values and priorities. I encourage you to contact me with your ideas and concerns. I use your input to make informed decisions for our communities. You can reach me by phone at my office: 651-296-4331 or my home 763-788-1864, or by email at rep.carolyn.laine@house.mn.

I ask for your support in this year’s election on November 6, 2012!

Carolyn
