Dear Constituents,

Thank you for your support and trust during my first two years in the Senate.  The hours have been long and the State's deficit problems required tough votes for cuts to programs that make Minnesota a great place to live.  Minnesota needs more good paying jobs and strong economic growth to solve the ongoiong deficit problem.  My work in the Senate has been about creating jobs, encouraging economic development in Senate District 63 and helping constituents bring their issues to the Capitol for a hearing.

I would like to continue to represent you in the Minnesota Senate.  I have received the endorsement of the DFL party here in the District and am proud to be a Democrat.  Having said that, I would also like to you to know that I believe I have represented the best interests of all the people here in the 63rd District regardless of their party affiliation.   I believe that compromise is necessary in the political process and look forward to creating a bi-partisan atmosphere in the Senate so all parties can come together to build a better future here in Minnesota.

I ask for your vote in November.

Sincerely yours,

Senator Ken Kelash
Senate District 63
