Representative Ben Bakeberg Announces Run for Minnesota Senate
JORDAN, MN. – Today, Representative Ben Bakeberg, father, educator, and the only current school administrator serving in Minnesota State Government announces his candidacy for Minnesota Senate District 54 serving Shakopee, Prior Lake, Jordan, Louisville, Jackson, Sand Creek and Spring Lake Townships.
“From my years as an educator to my time as a current lawmaker, my mission has been simple—serve people,” Bakeberg said. “That means listening to priorities, learning what works, and leading to deliver results for Minnesota families. We’ve taken important steps to restore balance to budgets, address workforce priorities and crack down on waste and fraud—but we’re just getting started. In the Minnesota Senate, I’ll continue to champion common-sense solutions that build strong families, strong communities, and strong schools.”
Building Blocks for Learning Initiative
Far too many laws are passed today that might make us feel good, but really miss the mark in making significant and lasting change. Over the past eight years, we’ve lost more than 35% of our family childcare providers, costs have risen dramatically, reimbursement rates remain below the cost of care, and childcare remains unaffordable to many families.
Better Together Education Plan
This pension proposal will provide a full benefit for teachers creating the first instance of an actual rule for career tier 2 teachers at 62 with 30 years of service. Last session, the Governor, along with the majority in the House and Senate, did not support the necessary public investments for teacher pensions.
365 Community Safety Initiative
Legislation that supports and invests in law enforcement and community safety 365 days a year.
Keep It Clean Bill
Legislation that passed protecting and promoting clean water and our environment statewide.
Dollars & Sense Initiative
Legislation that would have reduced the money you spend on monthly expenses including lower car tab fees, cheaper gas, lower property taxes, and housing costs.
