Saint Paul – Lieutenant Governor Molnau has been re-elected Midwest Regional Chair of the National Lieutenant Governors Association (NLGA). Molnau was recently re-elected Midwest Regional Chair of the NLGA at the Association’s annual meeting in Baltimore, Maryland.

“Lieutenant Governor Molnau was selected by a bi-partisan group of her peers from every region in the nation as a leader among her colleagues,” said NLGA Executive Director Julia Hurst.

“I am honored that my colleagues designated me to serve in NLGA leadership this year,” Lieutenant Governor Molnau said. “I look forward to working with them and share best practices that will benefit the constituents of Minnesota and other states.”

The NLGA was formed in 1962 and is the only professional association for elected officials who are first in line of succession to the Governors of the 50 states and five U.S. territories.

The NLGA seeks to promote the effectiveness of the Office of Lieutenant Governor. The Midwest Region includes the following states: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.

Molnau was elected Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota in 2002, and re-elected in 2006.
