District 46 Meet Up on Immigration
Judy Stuthman is very knowledgeable about the topic of immigration. She chaired the League of Women Voters Minnesota Immigration Study of 2001 - 2003 and for this work received the Hope Washburn Award in 2003. As a League volunteer lobbyist, she has followed immigration bills at the state legislature for the past 10 years and will also be following the 2014 legislation to raise the minimum wage (the League supports this). She coordinates voting registration for new citizens, and last year the League registered 8,500 new citizens to vote at their naturalization ceremonies. A member of LWV for over 40 years, once as State Co-President, Judy worked with refugees both as a volunteer and as Associate Director of a Lutheran Church organization that worked with immigrants and refugees.
