U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum to Attend Joint Address to Congress with Mary Jo McGuire

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04), Dean of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation, will attend President Trump’s address to the joint session of Congress on Tuesday, March 4. The Congresswoman’s guest is Ramsey County Commissioner Mary Jo McGuire, who served as President of the National Association of Counties (NACo) from 2023-2024.

“Commissioner McGuire is in Washington to advocate on the national stage for the issues that are critical to our constituents, including access to health care and nutrition assistance for children, seniors, and working parents,” said Congresswoman McCollum. “As the Immediate Past President of the National Association of Counties and a former state legislator, she is uniquely positioned to highlight the local impact of the Trump administration’s damaging cuts to the services that Americans rely on. Commissioner McGuire and her colleagues in Minnesota and in counties across the nation will see these consequences at the local level and will play a critical role as partners in protecting our community.”

“I am honored to attend the president’s joint address to Congress as the guest of Congresswoman McCollum,” said Commissioner McGuire. “Each of us works on behalf of our shared constituents in our respective levels of government. This opportunity highlights the importance of partnerships and collaboration between local and federal government to drive meaningful change for our communities.”
