The approval will help ensure that both those important agencies can get work done on behalf of Minnesota without disruption.
“Minnesota is lucky to have talented and qualified public servants like Commissioner Schowalter, and Commissioner Herke to lead two important state agencies, and the Senate has moved to confirm them in a timely manner,” said Majority Leader Dziedzic. “We are confirming commissioners because we know that when nominations are held up, it disrupts the important work that Minnesotans expect from their state government.
