Paulsen Co-Chairs the Friends of Norway Caucus

Eden Prairie, MN– Congressman Erik Paulsen (MN-03), Co-Chair of the bipartisan Friends of Norway Caucus,  issued the following statement on today’s horrific attacks in Oslo and Utoya, Norway.

“My thought and prayers are with the people of Norway today, especially with the families of those killed and injured in today’s attacks,” said Congressman Paulsen. “Our people have shared a common bond since the very first ship left Norway’s fjords for the fertile lands of Minnesota.
