Your Congressman – Collin Peterson
Collin Peterson is our Congressman for Minnesota’s Congressional District 7. Congressman Peterson has worked very hard over the years to represent all of his constituents fairly and with integrity.
Did you know that Congressman Peterson is the Chairman of the House Agricultural Committee and that our district is one of the largest agricultural producing districts in the country?
If you’d like to learn more about him, his past voting record, what services his office offers (flag requests, assistance with a Federal Agency, or Military Academy Nominations, to name a few), newsletter sign up, contact information and more, visit his website here.
