Ron Latz for Senate

I would like to thank the voters of St. Louis Park, Hopkins and Golden Valley for the confidence you have placed in me to represent you in the state Senate for the next four years. You have given me a high honor, and with it come a serious responsibility involving time, commitment and principle.

I pledge to work hard and fight for the priorities for our community on education, health care, transportation and the other issues that are important to us.

I will continue to seek consensus and common ground to advance the common good on a bipartisan basis. I also pledge to be responsive to you whether you voted for me or not and invite your calls, letters ad e-mails with comments, questions, suggestions and criticisms.

For now, you may continue to reach me at my House office: rep.ron.latz@house.mn.




Ron Latz Senator-elect

Dear Neighbors:

When I ran for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2002, after serving nine years on the St. Louis Park City Council, I committed myself to community leadership at a new level of government. When you elected me, I took your confidence to heart.

Working Hard as State Representative
My service has included many hours of responding to your concerns about the way government works, the things that it does and the priorities it sets. I have worked hard to advance the well being of our community and state.

In the last four years, I have fought bigotry on the floor of the House. I’ve passed bipartisan legislation to help prevent unfunded mandates on our public schools, protect firefighters’ pensions and fund local projects. I’ve raised my voice and rolled up my sleeves to get the job done for St. Louis Park and Golden Valley.

Health Care, Transportation, Environment, Public Safety, Education, Jobs
Yet much work remains. We still have too many children without health insurance, too much gridlock on the highways, too many threats to our environment, too much job uncertainty and too little funding for public education.

Our communities are great places to live and raise families. I want to continue my work to keep them that way and make them even better. Everyone-—individuals, small business, non-profit organizations and more—deserves the opportunity for success. Together we can accomplish anything.

Taking on the Challenge as State Senator
This year I have decided to take on a new challenge and am running for the District 44 Senate seat that includes the communities of Hopkins, St. Louis Park and Golden Valley. I will continue my commitment to our children, our families and our seniors and will build on the terrific groundwork laid by our current state Senator, Steve Kelley. My years of experience in the state House and as a St. Louis Park council member have given me knowledge and insight into the communities I want to serve as a Senator.

With your support, I will continue to do my part as a member of the state Senate.
I ask for your vote on November 7.
