Rep. Cheryl Youakim, DFL-Hopkins, is one of 11 Minnesota House members who has won the Legislator of Distinction Award from the League of Minnesota Cities for 2021.
The league’s board of directors annually approves Legislators of Distinction. According to the league, the award recognizes “that to successfully serve commonly shared constituents, state and city officials must work together to meet the unique needs of rural, suburban, and urban residents across the state,” a statement from the league says.
“As a former Hopkins City Council member, I’m grateful for the League’s advocacy in the legislative process,” Youakim said in the statement. “Our state and city partnership is a critical component to the results we deliver for the communities we serve in the Minnesota House of Representatives.”
The League of Minnesota Cities, which is governed by a board consisting of local elected and appointed city officials, serves its more than 800 member cities through advocacy, education and training, policy development, risk management and other services.
