To the editor, Do you live in Lakeville's House of Representatives District 58A? Are you tired of the same old politics? Too many politicians seem to use confrontation rather than cooperation to try to govern. Maybe it's just me, but they seem to listen to their parties more than to their constituents.

It also meant if she stayed in that district, she'd represent a bunch of Burnsville and very little of Lakeville, her hometown. But in the shifting of political boundaries, the bulk of Lakeville, and Holberg's old territory, was left inside a new district called 58A. It's part of State Sen. Dave Thompson's (R-District 36) new district and most importantly, it's a district that is vacant.
