“I am thrilled to host this open house and share my new office where community members can count on me and my team to navigate any state assistance or resources they need,” said Briel in a news release. “I’m looking forward to sharing this moment with students, local leaders and community members and engaging with folks to discuss top needs to improve our neighborhoods and what demands I’ll be bringing to the Statehouse this legislative session.”
