I would like to say thank you, state Sen. Dan Sparks, for all the hard work he has done for us as our state senator. Sen. Sparks has worked tirelessly on projects such as securing state funding for the cleanup of the Edgewater Park dump site as well as the fish barriers and their construction. Furthermore, I would like to point out that Dan has always, and will always, go the extra mile to bring home state dollars for the upkeep, safety and replacement of our local road and bridges.

Sen. Sparks is a strong supporter of renewable energy in our area. Dan brought home state dollars to Riverland Community College to create the wind turbine technician program while ensuring that local wind energy revenues stay in our local communities. Dan worked to pass the legislation that created the largest solar project in the Upper Midwest.

I could go on and on, but the facts are clear. Dan Sparks is an effective leader for our area and deserves to be re-elected to the Minnesota state Senate. Thanks again Dan and keep up the good work!
