Join Team Latz
Meet Ron
Ron’s dedicated public service and work experience has served the community for decades. His roots run deep in Senate District 46 as well as in elected office. He grew up in Golden Valley, attended Hopkins Public Schools and has served on multiple community boards, from the St. Louis Park Community Education Advisory Council and the Metropolitan Interfaith Council on Affordable Housing to the Anti-Defamation League’s National Commission and Civil Rights Committee. Today, Ron resides in St. Louis Park with his wife, Julia Shmidov Latz, and their three children.
Ron’s Record
Because Ron’s colleagues trust his vision for a better Minnesota, Ron has served as the Senate DFL’s leader related to public safety and judiciary for years, and as a vigorous advocate for consumer protection.
As the chair of the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, and a member of the Finance and Commerce & Consumer Protection Committees, he has been a strong advocate for the Senate District 46 community on the Senate Floor.
Ron’s sustained fight to move the Senate District 46 community forward begins with his commitment to listen to residents. Ron is proud to have delivered results on the critical issues that matter most to the district. Ron will continue to fight for our progressive values in the Minnesota State Senate.
