Minnesota’s 2025 legislative session began with Representative Erica Schwartz (R–Nicollet) taking the oath of office alongside 66 other Republican state representatives at the State Capitol in St. Paul.

“It is both an honor and a responsibility to serve the people of District 18A in the Minnesota House of Representatives,” said Schwartz. “As a first-year legislator, I am excited to bring a fresh perspective to the work being done in St. Paul. I am deeply committed to advocating for the needs of our community, prioritizing policies that ensure our schools, healthcare, and economy are positioned for long-term success.”

Schwartz will serve as Republican Vice Chair on the Higher Education Finance and Policy Committee for the 2025-2026 legislative biennium. She has also been assigned to the Public Safety Finance and Policy Committee and the Taxes Committee.

“I am focused on making sure that Minnesota’s working families have access to the resources they need to thrive,” Schwartz continued. “Whether it’s improving our public education system, ensuring access to quality healthcare, or promoting economic growth that benefits all communities, my work in the House will be driven by what’s best for the people I represent. I look forward to working with my fellow legislators to achieve solutions that move Minnesota forward in a meaningful and sustainable way.”
