I've been living in St. Paul since 1977. I have three daughters, 29 grandchildren & one great grandson. They all live in Israel. I travel there twice a year to visit. Neal and I (married 45 years) live in a condo in downtown St Paul. I've been serving in the Minnesota Legislature since 1985. I was Senate President for 4 years. I'm also the Executive Director of Forward Global Women, a non-profit I co-founded in 2011.
