28:31Now PlayingGovernor Tim Walz, along with DFL legislators, will be in a strong position to secure their legislative agenda as a result of this year’s midterm election. Beginning in 2023, DFLers will hold a 34 to 33 majority in the Minnesota Senate and a 70 to 64 majority in the Minnesota House. On this week's program, DFL lawmakers talk with the media about the new DFL trifecta.
In early October, before the 2022 election, twenty-four DFL members of the House and the Senate founded the Secular Government Caucus, which they have described as “a coalition of nonbelievers and religious people to uphold our constitutional separation of church and state.” Senator John Marty, a co-chair of the new caucus, joins moderator Shannon Loehrke to explain the purpose of the new group.
He was first elected to the Senate in 2002 and during his 20-year tenure, he held several leadership posts, chaired high-profile committees, and championed several big initiatives. Senator David Senjem, R-Rochester, joins Shannon to reflect on his expansive Senate career.
