Southwest Voices: Sen. Zaynab Mohamed Highlights 2023-2024 Legislative Progress
"Dear Neighbors,
My first biennium as senator for District 63 has come to a close. It has been a fantastic experience to hear your concerns and take them to our Senate committees. With our DFL majority, we ended the partisan gridlock holding up decades of progress in our State and passed some of the most progressive and productive legislation in modern history. Here are a few highlights of our work.
The overturning of abortion rights by the U.S. Supreme Court has left Minnesotans reeling. Our majority is steadfast in upholding your fundamental rights and doing all we can to protect access to this vital healthcare. As such, the very first bill we introduced was the Protect Reproductive Options Act. This law provides every Minnesotan a fundamental right to make individual decisions about reproductive healthcare, including pregnancy, contraception, abortion, and more. Further, the law prevents politicians from interfering with a person's fundamental right to make their own reproductive health care decisions. I will continue to stand for your right to healthcare, free from political interference."
