Recognition for historical contributions and strides in women’s achievements took the spotlight in Shoreview this month as Senator Mary Kunesh was honored by the Harriet G. Walker Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). On Sunday, September 8th, Senator Kunesh, representing the DFL-New Brighton area, was recipient of the esteemed “Women in American History” Award. This accolade, as noted by Senate DFL’s website, is not limited to DAR members but is open to any woman who has made significant contributions across various spheres including education, society, and politics in their community.
