As Minnesota’s *first* Chief Equity Officer, Dr. Stephanie Burrage will lift up the voices of those who have been left out of government for far too long to create meaningful change and more equitable policies.
I look forward to partnering with her in this important work.

This work is critical and will help remove systemic inequities and increase opportunities for all communities. In my new role, I will help ensure that Minnesotans are both heard and represented in our government.

.@GovTimWalz has proclaimed this week as Paraprofessional Recognition Week. Paraprofessionals have stepped up in many ways during the pandemic—supporting school-age care, assisting with virtual learning, helping deliver meals for students and more.
