Today I have the pleasure to visit with my friend and MN State Representative from my area, Paul Novotny. Paul retired on May 28, 2020 as a Patrol Sargent with the Sherburne Country Sheriffs department  after nearly 30 years of police work. Paul was elected to fill the seat vacated by Rep Nick Zerwas on February 11, 2020.

Paul shares about his life growing up in Elk River, Minnesota on a farm and his transition to police work. He knows God was walking with him and often leading him as he worked as a deputy over many years.
