The 6th District is home to many great small businesses, and Im lucky to have met many of our business owners. They share a common drive to create and build and to add to the community around them. They are an inspiration to us all. After my great-grandfather moved to Minnesota, he started a lumber business. Several generations of Emmers have been involved in the family business over the years. Growing up around the lumber business and eventually starting my own business, I grew to appreciate the amount of work, sacrifice, and passion that goes into starting and growing a new business. Small business owners know what its like to give everybody a paycheck except yourself. Small business owners know what its like on a Friday afternoon, while all your employees are excited about the weekend, to be sitting at your desk thinking great, two more working days until Monday! Its difficult to run a company, and doubly so when you know your employers and their families are also counting on you. But its worth it. And its rewarding to see your hard work pay off. Throughout the year, and this week in particular, we tip our hats to you, small business owners. Thank you for following your passion and for all you do for the state of Minnesota. Happy Small Business Week! | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
