Karen Klinzing Files for Office
STILLWATER, Thursday, July 27, 2006 –
Representative Karen Klinzing went to the Washington County
courthouse to file for candidacy, official launching her
re-election campaign. Karen’s three daughters, Kathleen, Emma and
Marie eagerly watched their Mom fill out the necessary paperwork,
even little 10 month old Marie wanted to help fill out the forms.
Klinzing is a Minnesota native and has taught
in a Minnesota public high school for 14 years. She realizes that
Woodbury citizens care greatly about their family and their
children’s future, which is why she focuses on improving education
and keeping families strong. Last legislative session, Karen
helped eliminate the
marriage penalty tax, saving Minnesotan families $200 million.
Klinzing also authored a bill to increase funding for early
childhood family education and another bill that appropriates
money to evaluate student assessment and achievement. Klinzing
says that “high-quality education enriches our children’s lives
forever, they are America’s future, and we must give them all the
necessary tools, so they can one day, live out their American
dream.”
