Margaret is committed to honoring our veterans and supporting those serving in Minnesota’s National Guard.
Under her leadership, the House passed legislation to help returning military members readjust to civilian life and to continue their education and professional development. She also led the passage of legislation to honor the service of Minnesota veterans. In addition, Margaret supported legislation to expand veterans preference in public employment positions.
Margaret supported efforts that helped make the tax code more veteran friendly, and to protect the homes of some disabled veterans from the impact of rising property taxes.
She also worked with the Minnesota Department of Veterans Affiars to ensure that meaningful and effective services are in place to meet the unique needs of returning military members, and supported making deployment easier on guard members and their families.
Margaret worked to set up systems to provide veterans with quality long-term care, so we can better anticipate the future needs of Minnesota veterans.
