The 2011 session starts on Monday. I look forward to working with you—and for you—again this year. If you have ideas or concerns you’d like to share with me this session, please call me at 515-281-3901 or e-mail me at mike.gronstal@legis.state.ia.us.
I encourage you to make a trip to the Statehouse this session, take a tour of the building and observe the proceedings in the House and Senate. If you do get to the Capitol, be sure to stop and see me so that we can get to know each other.

With the New Year comes a new legislative session. The 2011 session begins on January 10, and I’ve got some New Year resolutions that I’ll be working to keep every day at the Iowa Statehouse.
My No. 1 resolution is creating good-paying jobs for Iowans. Iowa’s unemployment numbers are low compared to most other states, but that’s not good enough. We can do a whole lot more to put hard-working Iowans back on the job.

Connie and I wish everybody a happy holiday season.
We celebrate Christmas and the hope for “peace on earth and goodwill to men” that we believe is the promise of this season. We sincerely hope the New Year brings a stronger economy and that out-of-work Iowans find greater opportunity.
May you share the joy of this season with family and friends. Happy holidays!
~~Mike
