Several members of the LGN team attended the annual Humphrey-Mondale dinner recently. This dinner, named for former vice presidents Hubert Humphrey and Walter Mondale, is one of the largest events for the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party.
This year’s dinner featured U.S. Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock. Elected Georgia’s first Black Senator in 2021, Reverend Warnock has carried his service and advocacy into the Senate, where he has championed and helped pass legislation to create good-paying jobs, address the maternal mortality crisis, expand and strengthen access to benefits for our nation’s veterans, and cap insulin costs for seniors on Medicare at $35 a month.

In 2023, Minnesota witnessed a record-setting 7.5 million visits to food shelves – – shattering the record of 5.5 million visits set in 2022.
To help alleviate food insecurity in our community, LGN is again raising funds for the March Food Drive organized by Neighborhood House, a St. Paul-based multi-service agency that has helped immigrant and refugee families since 1897. LGN has supported its work for more than ten years.
Like other food shelves in the state, Neighborhood House’s food shelf is grappling with the daunting challenge of keeping up with the need. They are now serving over seventeen hundred unique families in a month—nearly double from this time last year.

Your generosity can alleviate the severity of this crisis and foster a community where no one is left hungry or forgotten. Thank you for considering helping Neighborhood House with us.

LGN associate, David Hahn, demonstrated his narrative skills on the front page of the Federal Bar Association’s publication, “Bar Talk,” this quarter. His article recapped a talkback session featuring Senior Judges Paul Magnuson and Ann Montgomery of the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota. From their thoughts on the transition to the Electronic Age to what advice they would give their younger selves, David captured the highlights from the lively discussion.
Bar Talk is the award-winning newsletter of the Minnesota Chapter of the Federal Bar Association (FBA) that provides Chapter members with timely and valuable information. The FBA is the preeminent bar association serving federal practitioners, both private and public. The Minnesota Chapter is one of the Association’s largest chapters.

LGN was proud to be a Champion sponsor of Women Winning’s Wine, Chocolate, and Choice event last week. It was an inspiring night of networking with powerful women from across the state. The fundraiser celebrated International Women’s Day and its long history of recognizing the power women have when gathered together.
Since 1982, Women Winning has been building a coalition of people of all backgrounds, identities, and political affiliations united in their mission to recruit, train, and elect pro-choice women to all levels of public office, from park board to President of the United States. They’ve supported thousands of pro-choice women candidates in an effort to elect the best advocates, protect and advance reproductive rights, and create a more equitable Minnesota. Women Winning’s endorsed candidates and elected officials follow and innovate on the achievements celebrated by International Women’s Day, including advocating for reproductive rights, better working conditions, and fair wages, and fighting for women and girls everywhere.
The LGN Government Relations team was pleased to host the Minnesota Radiological Society (MRS) during their Day at the Capitol. MRS is an organization with 500 members and works to advocate for healthcare legislation on topics such as imaging, mammography access, and scope of practice policy. This event allowed MRS members the unique opportunity to interact directly with state legislators, discussing their roles as physicians in the practice of radiology and highlighting the challenges they face in our healthcare system. The goal of the MRS Day at the Capitol is to improve lawmakers’ understanding of MRS legislative priorities and facilitate meaningful conversations about issues impacting physicians in this field of medicine.

We proudly support LGN Senior Counsel, Maureen Kane Berg, as she opens the comic opera, “Utopia, Limited,” at the Gilbert & Sullivan Very Light Opera Company tonight. As the director of the production, Maureen leads a talented cast of actors as they explore the timeless question: what if perfection isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?
Maureen shared, “I love this updated and reimagined comic opera because it presents a universal human story: Even people living in Utopia can’t help wondering what they may be missing. I also love that the hero is a young woman – Princess Zara—who brings “reforms” from England to rescue her father, the King, and her country from Utopia’s own plutocrat profiteers. As a writer as well as a director of musical comedy, I have found it a joy to collaborate with the GSVLOC on this fresh take of a classic piece.”
Maureen has poured heart and soul into this collaboration with the GSVLOC, infusing the production with wit, charm, and a dash of irreverence. Don’t miss your chance to experience the magic of “Utopia, Limited” – a delightful blend of humor, romance, and social commentary that will leave you singing and smiling long after the curtain falls.
“Utopia, Limited” is scheduled to run until March 24th at the Conn Theater at Plymouth Congregational Church in Minneapolis. For more details and ticket information, please click below.
This course aims to give students practical experience in government. Speakers visit the class each week to talk about a different aspect of working at the Capitol. LGN was invited to “lobby” day to share more about the important work we do on behalf of our clients. It was a great discussion with a class full of future leaders.
The Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota ranks among the country’s top professional public policy and planning schools, widely recognized for its success in advancing the common good through a comprehensive, world-class program.
