Alright – so, one of my favorite congressman in Minnesota, Kline said he will not seek re-election in 2016. Kline represents Minnesota’s 2nd district. Kline has been the chair of the powerful House Education and Workforce Committee. We met Kline couple of years ago and he has written letters on our behalf to back then U.S HHS Secretary Sebelius and Director of NIH asking them to address our autism concerns which they responded and did address our concerns.
It was so easy dealing with his staff and office especially his health policy person Molly who has since left. Unlike Franken’s office – it was easy drama free and right to the point. Kline was also a member of Congressional autism committee. We asked him to vote and support the Combat autism bill when it was going to be reauthorized which he did. I will miss his staff and his willingness to always help his voters.
We thank everyone in his office in both Minnesota and Washington DC for their support and help and We wish Congressman Kline luck in his next chapter!
Not relating to autism – Kline supports poor minority children who are failing in DFL controlled school districts to have their education funding follow them into better schools and what do you know MN DFLer’s are against it. What a surprise, not really. This includes State Rep Atkins who wants to run for his seat. Please don’t vote for Atkins who is arrogant, ignorant and completely bias towards any racial equity. Atkins has voted against all of our autism legislations in the state legislature and did with arrogance and self-righteous attitude.
