Sen. Miller was the deciding vote against a bill that would have invested over $25
million in a need for Winona State University, its students, and the City of Winona. The
bill was defeated by only one vote.
Once again, Republican Sen. Jeremy Miller has turned his back on the students in his
community and the people of Winona. Today, he joined every Republican Senator but
one in voting against the Senate bonding bill, a bill which would create 39,000 jobs
across the state and invest over $25 million in Winona State University’s Education
Village.
This is a shocking decision by our state senator and shows that he’d rather play
politics than lead.
The Education Village project is essential to Winona and WSU. Approximately 20% of
the student body is education majors who are committed to being the next generation of
teachers and educators that our state needs. They deserve a state of the art educational
politics than lead.

experience and deserve support from their elected leadership.
As minority lead on the Higher Education and Workforce Development Committee,
Jeremy Miller has once again proven that he’d rather follow his party than the people that
elected him.
I am incredibly disappointed in Sen. Miller’s actions today and believe we need new
leadership for our community in St. Paul. I’ve been disappointed by the number of votes
and days Sen. Miller has missed in the past four years, which means our district has not
had a voice when decisions are being made. As your state senator, I would be a
tireless advocate for our students, our communities, and other priorities facing
Southeastern Minnesota.
We can and must do better than Sen. Jeremy Miller.
