Senator Amy Klobuchar delivered a powerful speech on domestic abuse at the 27th Annual Domestic Abuse Luncheon in Lakeville this afternoon. The fact that almost 300 people attended this event indicates the importance our community places on curtailing this harmful behavior. Senator Klobuchar and some of the other speakers commented on the changes that have taken place in the way domestic abuse has been handled over the years. She said Minnesota has been a leader that area and mentioned that the Lewis House in Eagan was the first of that type of shelter in the nation. She recalled how hard Paul and Sheila Wellstone worked to eradicate domestic abuse. Since becoming a U.S. Senator, Senator Klobuchar has championed legislation to help address the problems that still exist. We are truly fortunate to have someone so caring and talented representing us.
