## Career

### 2014: Formation, *Britain's Got Talent* and *Stars*

Collabro formed in January 2014. Pagan and Lambert knew each other already, and used social media to find three additional singers to complete the band's line-up. Pagan and Lambert held auditions where they found Auger and Redgrave. They found Hadfield on YouTube singing "Bring Him Home". They sang together for the first time at the Miller pub in London Bridge. It was not long after this that they decided to audition for Britain's Got Talent, as they had 'nothing to lose'.

In February 2014, a month after forming, Collabro auditioned in London for the eighth series of *Britain's Got Talent*. They received a standing ovation from both the audience and judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and David Walliams for their rendition of the song "Stars" from the musical *Les Misérables*. The judges were initially seen to have low expectations due to their styling and the fact that they had only been together for a month at the time. Cowell claimed that "Britain really has got talent" (a comment he repeated in the live semi-final) and they received a unanimous "yes" verdict from the judging panel, with Cowell also describing their performance as a "hit record", while Holden was reduced to tears. Collabro progressed to the live semi-finals. They competed in the first semi-final on 26 May, performing the song "Bring Him Home", also from *Les Misérables*. The performance was praised by all four judges, again receiving a standing ovation, and they received the highest number of votes from the public (receiving 62.3% of the total votes cast), ensuring their automatic progression to the final. During the live final on 7 June, Collabro performed a different arrangement of their audition song "Stars" for which they received 26.5% of the vote, winning the competition by a wide margin.

On 12 June 2014, Collabro signed a record deal with Cowell's record label, Syco Music, and released their debut album on 28 July. On 17 June, they announced that they would be going on their first ever tour, along with runner-up Lucy Kay, in 2015. The group's debut album *Stars*, which includes cover versions of songs such as "All of Me" and "Let It Go", was released on 18 August and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. On 31 October, it was announced that the album would be re-released as a special edition. The re-released version features the seasonal "White Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" as well as "Falling Slowly" from the musical *Once* and "Say Something". Collabro's debut tour 'Stars' sold 50,000 tickets culminating in a headliner show at The London Palladium.

### 2015–2017: *Act Two*, Hadfield departure and *Home*

On 22 April 2015, Collabro revealed they had signed a record deal with Sony Masterworks in the US for £1 million. The following week, they announced that their second album would be called *Act Two* and would be released on 1 June. It debuted at #2 in the UK Albums Chart. In 2016 the group did their second tour around the UK (Act Two) after the success of their last tour. They finished their first official tour in Japan and also been touring around the US as well as Canada.

Following the departure of Richard Hadfield from the band, Collabro announced their third album *Home* would be released in March 2017 having set up their own record label "Peak Productions". The band artistically controlled everything and decided to "go home to Musical Theatre" having done pop crossover tracks on their first two albums. This new offering featured a selection of stage classics, fan favourites and their first original song "Lighthouse", co-written by Ben Adams. On 20 March 2017, the band announced they would be joining Cliff Richard on his summer Just Fabulous Rock 'n' Roll Tour of the UK. Following this, their third UK Tour took place in September and December 2017, titled *The Home UK Tour*.

### 2018–2019: *Road to the Royal Albert Hall*, *Britain's Got Talent: The Champions* & *Love Like This*

In August 2018, the band released their fourth studio album *Road to the Royal Albert Hall*. The album peaked at number nineteen on the UK Albums Chart. Following this, the band went on a fifty-one date UK tour in 2019. The tour started on 10 February in South Shields and ended on 20 April at the Royal Albert Hall in London.

In September 2019, the band took part in *Britain's Got Talent: The Champions*, they were eliminated at the Preliminaries, they finished third in the audience vote. The band announced that they had signed a new record deal with BMG, they also announced the release date for their new album.

We'll be releasing our 5th album #LoveLikeThis on 15th November this year, and we're going back out on tour in 2020." In November 2019, they released their fifth studio album *Love Like This*. The album peaked at number twenty-two on the UK Albums Chart. In October 2019, the band announced a UK tour for October 2020. In April 2020 the band had to postponed the tour due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tour will now take place between October and November 2021.

title: Støvkornenes dans i solstrålerne

abstract: Støvkornenes dans i solstrålerne, also Solstråler (Sunbeams), is an oil painting from 1900 by the Danish Symbolist painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Considered to be one of the masterpieces of Danish culture, it was included in the 2006 Danish Culture Canon.

text:
# Støvkornenes dans i solstrålerne

***Støvkornenes dans i solstrålerne*** (***Dust Motes Dancing in Sunbeams***), also ***Solstråler*** (***Sunbeams***), is an oil painting from 1900 by the Danish Symbolist painter Vilhelm Hammershøi. Considered to be one of the masterpieces of Danish culture, it was included in the 2006 Danish Culture Canon.

## Title

When he exhibited the painting, Hammershøi called it *Solskin* (sunshine) or *Solstråler* (sunbeams). It was only later it was given the more poetic title of *Støvkornenes dans i solstrålerne*. It is displayed in the Ordrupgaard Museum.

## Description

The painting (oil on canvas, 70 x 59 cm) presents an empty room in Hammershøi's 17th-century apartment in the Christianshavn district of Copenhagen. The bare panelled walls, without any furnishings or decorations, are illuminated by rays of winter sunlight shining through the window, a pattern of light and shade falling on the wooden floor.

The central feature of the work is the recessed window, through which shafts of dust-filled light shine diagonally down into the greyness of the room. The lack of colour is typical of Hammershøi. The overall impression is that the painting portrays a dark, silent psychological space although in fact the room was located in a busy part of the city, close to the noise of docks and factories.

Like many of his contemporaries, Hammershøi used photography as a basis for his works. This is also the case here. Indeed, the painting conveys the impression of a black and white photograph with all the intermediate greys while the dusty rays of sunlight give the room a highly poetic look. As in the paintings of the Romantic period, the window can be seen as a symbol of longing and dreaming, connecting the room's interior with the world outside, juxtaposing near and far.

The ***Phoenix*** was a steamship that burned on Lake Michigan on 21 November 1847, with the loss of at least 190 but perhaps as many as 250 lives. The loss of life made this disaster, in terms of loss of life from the sinking of a single vessel, the fourth-worst tragedy in the history of the Great Lakes.

## Characteristics

The *Phoenix* was built in 1845 in Cleveland, Ohio or Buffalo, New York. It was built with the then-new technology of twin screw propellers instead of side-mounted paddlewheels. The ship was 140 feet (43 m) long, with a beam of 22 feet (6.7 m), a depth of 10 feet (3.0 m) and a displacement of 302 tons.

## Career

The *Phoenix* spent its career making trips between Buffalo and Chicago. The ship was owned by Pease and Allen of Cleveland.

## Final voyage

The *Phoenix* departed Buffalo on 11 November 1847, for its last trip of the year. It was carrying around 275 passengers, mostly Dutch immigrants, and a crew of 25 commanded by Captain G. B. Sweet. The ship also carried a cargo of molasses, coffee, sugar, and hardware. While on Lake Erie Captain Sweet fell and injured his knee badly enough that he was forced to stay in bed for the rest of the journey. The first mate, H. Watts, took command.

The *Phoenix* reached Manitowoc, Wisconsin just before midnight on 20 November. The ship took on cordwood for fuel and unloaded cargo while waiting for the weather to improve. The *Phoenix* departed Manitowoc at 1 am on 21 November.

About two hours out of Manitowoc, the fireman tending the *Phoenix'*s boilers noticed that the pumps were not working properly. He reported this to the ship's second engineer, but was ignored; he later reported that the water in the boilers was dangerously low, but was again ignored.

At 4 am, clouds of smoke started billowing from the ship's engine room. The ship's passengers were alerted, and the first mate organized the crew and passengers into a bucket brigade in an attempt to fight the fire. The fire soon grew out of control. First Mate Watts ordered the ship turned towards shore, but the fire overwhelmed the engine room and the ship drifted to a halt about five miles from shore and nine miles from Sheboygan.

The *Phoenix* carried only two lifeboats, with a capacity of 20 people each. These were quickly launched: the first with Captain Sweet and 20 others, the second carrying 19. By the time the lifeboats reached the shore, those aboard were exhausted from rowing, and unable to return to try and rescue more people.

Meanwhile, the *Phoenix* was being consumed by flames. The crew and passengers tore apart the cabin and threw the pieces overboard to use as floats. The water was freezing cold; most of those who managed to find wreckage to cling to succumbed to hypothermia. Those who remained on the ship tried to climb upward to rigging, but the rigging burned and collapsed, sending those on it into the fire below.

In the nearby town of Sheboygan, a justice of the peace named Judge Morris woke and spotted the flames on the lake. He ran down to the harbor and woke the crew of the steamer *Delaware*, who began building up the steam needed to take their ship out to assist. At around the same time the captain of the schooner *Liberty* saw the flames, and he and his crew manned the ship's lifeboat and rowed for the *Phoenix*.

By the time the *Delaware* arrived at around 7 am, the *Phoenix* had burned to the waterline. The *Delaware* found only three survivors: the ship's clerk and a passenger clinging to the rudder chains, and an engineer clinging to a door. The boat from the *Liberty* arrived soon after, followed by one of the *Phoenix*'s lifeboats. The *Delaware* retrieved five bodies from the water, then took the hull of the *Phoenix* and the *Liberty'*s lifeboat in tow. The *Delaware* towed the wreck to Sheboygan, where it was beached by the city's north pier.

## Aftermath

The exact death toll from the *Phoenix* is not known. The owners of the ship claimed that no more than 190 died, but the ship's clerk estimated that the number of lives lost was at least 250. A total of 43 people were saved; 40 in the lifeboats and three rescued by the *Delaware*.

A dutch Bible from 1693 washed ashore shortly after the disaster and is part of the Wisconsin Maritime Museum's collection.

The engine, boiler, and cargo were later salvaged from the hulk of the *Phoenix*. 175 years later the smokestack was found by Dutch public broadcaster Omroep Gelderland during filming for a documentary of the disaster.

The *Delaware* would later come across the scene of another Great Lakes disaster. On 17 June 1850 when the *G. P. Griffith* burned with a loss of at least 241 of the roughly 300 people aboard, the *Delaware* arrived on the scene. Too late to rescue survivors, the *Delaware* could do no more than tow the burning wreck to shore, just as it did with the *Phoenix*. The *Delaware* itself sank on 3 November 1855 with the loss of 11 lives.

# Kipps Run

**Kipps Run** (also known as **Kipp's Run**) is a tributary of the Susquehanna River in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, in the United States. It is approximately 3.3 miles (5.3 km) long and flows through Rush Township and the borough of Riverside. Wilson Run is a tributary of the stream. Kipps Run has an annual sediment load of 4,985,600 pounds (2,261,400 kg), most of which comes from cropland. The stream's watershed has an area of 6.38 square miles, nearly all of which is agricultural or forested land. The stream has a riparian buffer.

## Course

Kipps Run begins in northern Rush Township. The stream's headwaters are on Blue Hill. The stream begins flowing southwest and then northwest in a valley, but after a short distance curves north, following the road. It then exits Rush Township and enters the community of Riverside, where it turns west-northwest, away from the road. The stream also leaves its valley at this point. It receives the tributary Wilson Run from the left and then passes through a series of small ponds. Further downstream, it turns northwest, crossing another road and then crossing the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. Immediately afterwards, the stream enters the Susquehanna River.

Kipps Run joins the Susquehanna River 134.14 miles (215.88 km) upstream of its mouth.

The only named tributary of Kipps Run is Wilson Run. Wilson Run is on the western side of the main stem. It joins Kipps Run 1.54 miles (2.48 km) upstream of its mouth and its watershed has an area of 3.27 square miles.

## Hydrology

The annual load of sediment in Kipps Run is 4,985,600 pounds (2,261,400 kg). The largest contributor is cropland, which contributes 4,565,200 pounds (2,070,700 kg) to the stream. Stream banks contribute 195,600 pounds (88,700 kg) of sediment per year and 143,600 pounds (65,100 kg) of it comes from hay and pastures. Forested land contributes 47,400 pounds (21,500 kg) per year, 18,400 pounds (8,300 kg) comes from land designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as "low-intensity development", and 15,400 pounds (7,000 kg) comes from land designated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection as "transitional".

## Geography, geology, and climate

80 percent of the rock in the watershed of Kipps Run is interbedded sedimentary rock and 20 percent is sandstone. 80 percent of the soils in the watershed of the stream belong to the hydrologic soil group C. The remaining 20 percent belong to the hydrologic soil group B. The geology of the watershed does not influence the water quality of the stream in any significant way.

The topography of the land around Kipps Run varies by direction. To the east of the stream is a bowl-shaped topographical feature in which the community of Riverside is located. To the west of it and to the south of Sunbury Road, there is a steep rise climbing to more than 900 feet (270 m) above sea level. To the west of the stream and to the north of Sunbury Road, the terrain is largely flat. The stream has an elevation of 443 feet (135 m) above sea level near its mouth.

The comprehensive plan for Riverside describes the channel of Kipps run as "adequate".

The average annual amount of precipitation in the watershed of Kipps Run is 38.2 inches (97 cm) per year. The average annual amount of runoff is 2.1 inches (5.3 cm) per year.

## Watershed

The watershed of Kipps Run has an area of 6.38 square miles. 48 percent of the watershed's area is agricultural land and 48 percent is forested land. There are 1099.6 acres of cropland and 617.8 acres of hay and pastures in the watershed. The remaining 4 percent has other uses, such as "low-intensity development", of which there are 175.4 acres in the watershed and "transitional" land, of which there are 7.4 acres in the watershed.

In the area that is to the west of Kipps Run and to the south of Sunbury Road, there is mostly forested land with some farms on the tops of the hills. North of Sunbury Road and west of the stream, there are large tracts of farmland.

Kipps Run is one of the main streams in Riverside, according to the comprehensive plan for the borough.

## History and recreation

In 1790, William Gearhart settled near in Northumberland County and gained possession of a tract of land near Kipps Run. Alem Marr Sechler purchased a farm along Kipps Run in 1854. In the late 1800s, the Danville, Hazleton and Wilkes-Barre Railroad passed by Kipps Run.

During a flood in 1904, a gorge in the watershed of Kipps Run helped stop the flooding from affecting areas downstream of Subnbury for several days. The Kipp's Run Swim Club is located in a developed area south of Kipps Run and has been since at least 1962. In the late 1960s, the borough of Riverside had plans to build a pumping station in the vicinity of the stream.

In July 2012, Kipps Run was designated as the reference watershed for the TMDL of Deerlick Run.

## Biology

Kipps Run has a sizable riparian buffer.

# Kippy Brown

**Charles Henry "Kippy" Brown** (born March 6, 1955) is an American football former coach and former player who most recently was the wide receivers coach for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He was a college-level starting quarterback for Memphis and coached in various capacities at both the college and professional levels of American football. He retired in May 2015.

## Playing career

Kippy Brown began his football career at Sweetwater High School in Sweetwater, Tennessee, under long-time Sweetwater coach King Berrong (1925–2013). He led Sweetwater to the 1971 and 1972 state championships, and helped the team lead the state in scoring in 1972 and 1973.

Following his high school career, Brown attended Memphis State University (now known as University of Memphis) where he was quarterback for the Tigers from 1975 to 1977. Notably, Brown's Tigers upset seventh-ranked Auburn University 31–20 in 1975. Brown engineered this victory by completing 7 of 11 passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns, including a 37-yard strike to Keith Wright in the fourth quarter that put the game out of reach.

## Coaching career

### 1978–1999

After graduating from MSU in 1977 with a B.A. in Communications, Brown switched gears from playing to coaching at his alma mater and served as running backs coach in 1978 under head coach Richard Williamson and receivers coach from 1979 to 1980.

After coaching two years with the Tigers, he moved to Louisville, Kentucky to coach receivers at the University of Louisville (U of L) Cardinals for the 1982 campaign. One of his pupils was Mark Clayton, who would go on to become a five-time Pro Bowl receiver for the Miami Dolphins from 1983 to 1992.

Following the 1982 season at U of L, Brown returned to his roots in the state of Tennessee helping coach the Johnny Majors-run University of Tennessee Volunteers football team. During his first stint with the Vols from 1983 to 1989, Brown helped Tennessee acquire the nickname "Wide Receiver U.," coaching numerous pass catchers to greatness. Receivers Lenny Taylor, Clyde Duncan, Tim McGee, Joey Clinkscales, Anthony Miller, Alvin Harper, Anthony Morgan, and Carl Pickens all benefited from Brown's tutelage prior to their joining the professional ranks.

Brown caught the attention of the New York Jets while with Tennessee and coached for the Jets from 1990 to 1992. While with the Jets in 1991, he coached running backs for New York head coach Bruce Coslet and saw his backs rank fifth in the NFL in rushing. That 1991 squad also returned to the playoffs for the first time since 1986.

Brown later returned to Tennessee when the Vols' new head coach Phillip Fulmer convinced him to return to the collegiate ranks as assistant head coach and wide receivers coach for two seasons (1993–1994). He brought an offensive flair from the professional ranks to the UT offensive package as the Vols compiled an 18–6 record and outscored their opponents 847–383 over the course of those two years. Receivers he worked with during this period included Cory Fleming, Billy Williams, Joey Kent, and Marcus Nash. A young Peyton Manning also benefited from Brown's guidance during his freshman campaign as the Vols' signal caller.

Following a highly successful 1994 Tennessee season, Brown was again called to the pro ranks, joining Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 1995. Then-Tampa Bay head coach Sam Wyche named Brown running backs coach stating, "Getting Kippy is a major coup for us." While in Tampa, he also worked closely with former Bucs head coach and former head coach of the Indianapolis Colts, Tony Dungy.

From 1996 to 1999, he was on Jimmy Johnson's Miami Dolphins coaching staff, where he was the offensive coordinator from 1998 to 1999 and the running backs coach from 1996 to 1997. In 1996, Brown helped running back Karim Abdul-Jabbar become the first Dolphins running back to reach 1,000 yards in 18 years, and in 1997, Abdul-Jabbar tied a league-high 15 rushing touchdowns.

### 2000–2015

In 2000, Brown joined the Green Bay Packers as running backs coach under head coach Mike Sherman. Following the creation of the XFL in 2001, Brown took command of his hometown Memphis Maniax finishing the year 5–5; second in the Western Division and was the only team to defeat eventual XFL champions Los Angeles Xtreme twice. The team disbanded after one year as the XFL league collapsed.

After the demise of the XFL, Brown spent four seasons as the Houston Texans wide receivers coach. Among his pupils in Texas was WR Andre Johnson, who was taken by Houston with the third overall pick in the 2003 draft. Johnson became the first Texans offensive player to earn a trip to the Pro Bowl, selected for his outstanding 2004 season that included club records of 79 receptions for 1,129 yards.

Brown arrived in Detroit, Michigan for the 2006 season with the Detroit Lions. There, he reunited with Larry Beightol, with whom Brown worked on the New York Jets in 1990–92, Miami in 1996–98 and Green Bay Packers in 2000. For the 2008 Season, Brown served as Assistant Head Coach/Passing Game Coordinator.

On December 17, 2009, Brown accepted an offer from University of Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin to coach wide receivers and also become their "Passing Game Coordinator". This appointment was brief, however, as within a few weeks Kiffin resigned to become head coach at Southern Cal. Brown was named the Vols' interim head coach, and expressed interest in becoming head coach permanently, but the university hired Derek Dooley. On January 16, 2010, after not being named Kiffin's successor, he left to join Pete Carroll's staff as Wide Receivers Coach of the Seattle Seahawks. He won his first Super Bowl title when the Seahawks defeated the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. Brown retired in March 2015.

In June 2014, Brown's hometown of Sweetwater named the road circling Sweetwater High School "Kippy Brown Way."

## Details

### Modus of scam

Builders coerce farmers to sell their land by getting the government to use the Section 4 of the land law to have a government notification issued to the farmer that their land is required for the *"public purpose"*. Builders try to acquire this land by offering a small premium above the government's rate for the acquisition of the land. If landowners farmers still resist the sale, then Section 6 of land law is applied by declaring the government's intention to acquire land, which forces the reluctant farmers to sell the land to builders at small premium. Once the land is acquired by the builders, government cancels the acquisition process and releases the land to new build owners, along with the change in land use permission to build residential and industrial building on the farm land. This results in steep rise in the land prices, resulting in massive gains for the builders, opportunity cost loss to the farmers and land tax revenue loss to the government.

Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA), now known as Haryana Shahari Vikas Pradhikaran, notified acquisition of 850 acres in 2002, but it acquired only 441 acres April 2003, and remaining land was released to private builders for developing a colony. 280 acres in Rohtak Garhi Sampla was released from acquisition in the same way as it was done in Gurugram-Manesar IMT land scam Manesar during Hooda's administration. On 2 March 2015, builder Uddar Gagan Properties Limited acquired 280 acre land of farmers-owners at throwaway prices under the threat of acquisition at even lower prices. Uddar Gagan in the same month applied to the Haryana Town and Country Planning Department for grant of licence to develop a colony, which was granted in July 2016 and the land was released from the government acquisition process, and instead of returning to the farmers it was released to the builder based on execution of sale deeds favouring the builder through power of attorney.\<.

> *"The officers of the state government, in their anxiety to help out builders, have completely overlooked the interest of landowners or of the general public to whom thousands of plots could have been allotted at a fairly low price through the aegis of HUDA"*
>
> Punjab and Haryana High Court,

### High court and Supreme court cases

Punjab and Haryana High Court in March 2013 gave relief to farmers landowners by quashing the government's decision to release and license the land to private colonizers. This decision to quash the *"illegal and deceptive"* actions of Hooda administration were reconfirmed by the Supreme Court of India in May 2016. Two senior officers in the office of CM Hooda were indicted for allegedly favouring the developers. Supreme court ordered that the money paid by builders, such as Uddar Gagan, to land owners will not be returned. Money paid by builders to government, land owners and spent on land development will be repaid by the government. People who had bought the developed properties from the builders will either receive the property or the refund. Government/HUDA will own the land.

> *"Here is a case where artificial reasons were created, the records were fudged with the aid of the Deputy Commissioner, Rohtak, to mislead the fact that the possession of acquired land was not taken while announcing the Award. The responsible officers of the State Government, in their anxiety to help out Uddar Gaggan, have completely overlooked the interest of landowners or of the General Public to whom thousands of plots could have been allotted at a fairly low price through the aegis of HUDA. This amounts to transfer of resources of poor for the benefit of the rich. It amounts to permitting profiteering at the cost of livelihood and existence of a farmer. This is against the philosophy of the Constitution and in violation of guaranteed fundamental rights of equality and right to property and to life. What cannot be done directly cannot be done indirectly also. Undoing of such illegal actions would clearly be in the interests of justice. The wrong has to be remedied. The unholy nexus to promote the private interests of builders by transfer of resources of poor for the benefit of the rich, through gross abuse of law and clear fraud ... State Government may enquire into the legality and bona fides of the action of the persons responsible for illegally entertaining the applications of the builder and releasing the land to it."*
>
> Supreme Court of India, 13 May 2016,

### Current status: CBI inquiry

Subsequently, in March 2018 the Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar BJP's Government of Haryana referred the case to CBI to conduct further investigation against Hooda and others. Supreme Court had also ordered Haryana Government to take action on the Dhingra Commission's report, set up to investigate grant of land licences, so that *"pending issues could be cracked"*.

title: Kissing Cup's Race (1920 film)

abstract: Kissing Cup's Race is a 1920 British silent sports film directed by Walter West and starring Violet Hopson, Gregory Scott and Clive Brook. It is based on the poem Kissing Cup's Race by Campbell Rae Brown. The Bioscope described the film at the time as "probably the most exciting British racing film yet produced". In a slightly later review they said "The story is not complicated with the usual thrilling adventures, but nor has it the simplicity of Campbell Rae Brown's famous recitation; while many of the details are even less convincing than in the average turf drama. It is only in the technique of the racing scenes that there is any exceptional skill".

## Early life, education, and career

Koegel was born in Duluth, Minnesota, and grew up in Maple Grove, Minnesota. She graduated from Osseo High School in 2000. Koegel attended the University of Minnesota Duluth, graduating with a Bachelor of Applied Science in psychology and a minor in political science, and later with a master's degree in advocacy and political leadership.

## Minnesota House of Representatives

Koegel was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in 2016 and has been reelected every two years since. She first ran after three-term DFL incumbent Jerry Newton announced he would run for a seat in the Minnesota State Senate.

Koegel chairs the Sustainable Infrastructure Policy Committee and sits on the Commerce Finance and Policy and Transportation Finance and Policy Committees. From 2021 to 2022, she served as vice chair of the Transportation Finance and Policy Committee.

### Health care and child care

She also supports increasing investments in child care, preschool, and financial assistance for those attending college. Koegel has spoken publicly about the difficulties of being a parent to a newborn child while in the legislature, including the lack of maternity or parental leave.

She authored legislation to increase consumer protections and place limits on settlement-payment deals, requiring judges to scrutinize the payments. Koegel was part of an advisory council looking at how to spend funding through Minnesota's opioid epidemic response law.

### Transportation

Koegel supported legislation to increase the state's gas tax to keep up with inflation and increase dedicated funding for roads and bridges. She has also supported other tax increases to fund transportation needs, including a 75-cent fee on home deliveries as an alternative to the gas tax.

She sponsored bipartisan legislation to create speciality license plates commemorating the Minnesota Vikings football team, and a bill that would allow teen drivers to take driver's ed courses online. She authored legislation that would restrict wake boats within 200 feet of shore, and prohibit them in small lakes and waterways.

## Personal life

Koegel is married to her spouse, Steve, and resides in Spring Lake Park, Minnesota. Her daughter was born in 2018.

On August 22, 2021, Koegel accidentally severed her middle, ring, and little fingers on her left hand in a power saw accident. She was airlifted to the North Memorial Health Hospital in Robbinsdale, where she underwent emergency surgery. Surgeons were able to reattach her middle finger, but her ring and pinky fingers were lost. A GoFundMe page set up to support Koegel's recovery surpassed its goal of $5,000, but attracted the notice of officials when it appeared that many contributions came from lobbyists. Minnesota state law prohibits gifts from lobbyists to lawmakers worth more than $5. The GoFundMe page announced that gifts from lobbyists would be returned immediately.
