Northland Pines Political Science Class Visit | |
This morning I was invited by Mr. Tulppo, a political science teacher at Northland Pines, to meet with students and discuss the daily tasks of a legislator. During my visit, I described the legislative process of a bill from the drafting period to the final approval by the Governor. I illustrated the process of passing the Boulder Junction Shooting Range bill that was signed into law this session. Rep. Swearingen speaking to the Political Science class at Northland Pines. It was a rewarding experience to speak with students that share similar interests in politics. I would like to thank Mr. Tulppo for inviting me to his classroom, and the students for allowing me to spend some time with them this Friday. Thank you for presenting me with a Northland Pines T-Shirt! |

All legislators running for re-election or another state office shall not distribute more than 50 pieces of identical materials after April 15th. My E-updates will resume this upcoming November.
