At the Capitol, we’ve been getting a lot of visitors this year, and meeting with guests is one of my favorite parts of the job. I’ve been talking with folks from back home that are advocating for their occupations and other interests, including farming, banking, health care (both short and long-term care), and K-12 and college school matters. I really enjoy visiting with everybody from our area and getting their advice on important issues that impact them personally.
