[ST. PAUL, Minn.] – Thanks to his outstanding leadership on issues of importance to Greater Minnesota and for work that has positively impacted Minnesota cities, Senator Grant Hauschild (DFL-Hermantown) was named a Legislator of Distinction this week by the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities (CGMC) and the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC).
“Because I represent the most rural Senate District in the State of Minnesota, I believe it’s my duty to properly represent our small cities and towns across our State. I know firsthand as a former City Councilor how critical the work of our local governments are because they’re often the first point of contact our citizens have with their government,” said Senator Hauschild. “It’s vital that we enact policies that help Minnesota cities and small towns do their work, and I’m honored to be recognized by these groups for the work I did to advance our shared goals in the 2024 legislative session.”
During the 2024 Legislative Session, Senator Hauschild delivered a number of legislative victories for Minnesota cities. This includes his work on rural Emergency Medical Services and the “Iron Range” bonding bill that invests over $80 million in improvements for cities throughout Northeastern Minnesota.
“Sen. Hauschild’s steadfast advocacy has proven himself a true champion for Greater Minnesota. As Chief Author of the EMS bill in the Senate, Sen. Hauschild was a driving force for pushing the EMS legislation across the finish line,” said CGMC President & St. Joseph Mayor Rick Schultz. “His energy and diligent work throughout the session was critical to its success, delivering much-needed aid to Greater Minnesota communities.”
On his selection by the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC), Sen. Hauschild was recognized for leading efforts to secure aid for rural ambulance services and for his work as a member of the Senate Tax Committee, where “he consistently worked to ensure city needs were addressed and supported efforts to craft workable legislative solutions to numerous issues.”
