Kari Rehrauer

Kari is committed to preserving natural resources, mitigating climate change, and creating clean energy initiatives that generate good-paying, green jobs. We know she will be effective; after all, she has the experience to prove it. While on City Council, Kari participated in the development of the Coon Rapids Energy Plan. She championed changing city ordinance to allow large-scale solar gardens, worked to expand the Coon Rapids Recycling Center, and successfully helped with changes to allow commercial solar in the city. We are excited to see her continue to lead as a climate champion in the legislature!
