Edit ProfileCareer
Newberger was first elected to the in 2012. In April, 2015 Newberger drew much criticism for statements made on the Minnesota State House Floor linking North Minneapolis to the Saint Cloud Prison. "Right on the edge of Saint Cloud, maybe a half a mile, a quarter-mile, from the rail tracks is the Saint Cloud state prison.
Governor Mark Dayton later called for house leadership to punish Newberger.
"I think he should be reprimanded, if not censured by his leadership" Dayton said.
