After more than 15 years serving the state of Minnesota as commissioner of the Department of Human Services and in the Minnesota House of Representatives, Kevin Goodno in 2006 founded Fredrikson’s Government Relations practice, the St. Paul-based firm’s policy and advocacy affiliate. Since then, he has grown the team from one Minnesota lobbyist to nine. “Kevin’s commitment to the firm and his involvement across our communities make him a valuable member of our leadership team,” says Melodie Rose, Fredrikson president. “His years of public service provide a unique ability to connect and develop relationships at the firm.”
