17th and thanked President Zerby for the invitation to speak at our club. Paulsen is in his 3rd term and has served since 2009 to serve the 3rd District of Minnesota. He also mentioned that he has met and worked with President Zerby as Mayor of Shorewood and they even did a pie-eating contest together! The Congressman was very proud when President Oboma signed his bill - the Steven Gleason Act into law this past session. Paulsen stressed the importance of getting Congress to work across party lines with the Democrats to get important bills through the congress. Tops on his list are to get the medical equipment tax removed, to help reform the VA System and to get legislation passed to aid in Missing Children Investigations. When Congressman Paulsen heard that we were about to have our annual golf and auction fundraiser he volunteered to donate an American Flag that had been flown over the U.S. Capital.
