Kate is a middle school teacher, a mother of six, and seven years cancer free. But dealing with health insurance made going through chemo even harder.

Behind every voter is a story. A lot of people who voted for Donald Trump thought he would do something about costs. Instead, prices are skyrocketing and 8 million Americans have been tossed off their health care coverage.

Minnesota runs on power, and that power runs through the more than 16,000 members of the IBEW. When a storm hits, our electrical workers show up and help Minnesotans keep the lights on. I’m honored to have the endorsement of the IBEW, and as Governor, I will show up for Minnesota the way they do.

As a former prosecutor, I understand what we need to take on fraud. That’s why when the Feeding Our Future indictments came down, I went to the top of the Department of Justice and fought to get Minnesota’s U.S. Attorney Andy Luger’s office the prosecutors they needed.

On Day One, I will order a top-to-bottom audit of state government.

I'm grateful for the heroic work of law enforcement that prevented a mass shooting and terrorist attack at the Mall of America. This shows why we continue to need major coordinated investments in anti-terrorism and local law enforcement to stop attacks like these.

This critical project will improve public safety in Moorhead by improving emergency response times for police & firefighters. Moorhead applied for federal funding for this project for 9 years in a row – and I made calls for them every time. We finally got it done together because we didn't give up.

If we want to expand our economy, we have to make sure Minnesotans can afford housing, health care, and child care. As Governor, I’ll focus on lowering costs so our economy — and Minnesotans — can thrive.

From fair wages to protecting workers, I've never been afraid to take on tough fights for Minnesotans. That's why I'm honored to have the support of the Minnesota Teamsters – they know that Minnesotans need a Governor who will take on the powerful and stand up for the people of our state.

It's complete! Ninth time’s a charm! That’s how many times we tried to get this funding for a rail underpass in Moorhead from the feds. The last time I said “please put us out of our misery if you don’t like this project but if you do, fund it.” And they did.

I’m running on a growth agenda to expand our economy and create good-paying jobs. I’ll work with community colleges to expand apprenticeship programs to give Minnesotans pathways to jobs and help businesses recruit the workers they need.

Over 10,000 people ran the Twin Cities Marathon! It was fun to be there and see them in action at Mile 25.

25 years ago Ann, a nurse, and her patient Lois — both diagnosed with breast cancer — created the Breast Cancer Education Association. Now it has reached over 10,000 Minnesotans through screenings and outreach.

Thank you to the Economic Club of Minnesota for hosting me today to discuss a growth agenda for our state. Minnesota is a state of innovators and we need a government that matches Minnesotans’ drive and ambition.

It was great to be in Winona at the convention for the Minnesota Firefighters. From putting their lives on the line to keep us safe to organizing blood drives and teaching CPR, our firefighters do so much for Minnesota.

90% of Green Acres Milling is owned by the 127 farmers who grow the same oats they process here. I visited the nearly completed facility in Albert Lea — now the tallest building in Freeborn County, and a project we secured federal funding for through USDA.

I have now visited every county in Minnesota this year – all 87 of them! I do this every year because you can’t know what people need if you don’t show up. As Governor, that’s how I’ll lead – by showing up, listening, and bringing people together to get things done.

What a weekend for football in Minnesota! First the Gophers bring the Little Brown Jug home. Now the Vikings defense comes through again with a 15-10 win. 4-0! #SKOL

It was great joining the Association of Metropolitan School Districts Superintendents to talk about how we can help every student succeed and bring student achievement up and screentime in the classroom down.

Good luck to all the runners in the Twin Cities Marathon today and the weather is good! Thank you to the volunteers who make this such an incredible Minnesota event.

Violence like the shooting last night in Eden Prairie is completely unacceptable.

$13 million and counting. That’s how much one Wisconsin billionaire has given to Lisa Demuth’s Super PAC to try to buy her the governor’s office. From opposing prescription drug reforms to banning abortion, his agenda is a perfect match for Lisa Demuth – but not for Minnesota.

The Trump health care cuts are raising health care costs in Minnesota and across the country.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of the Minnesota Firefighters. More than 2,000 Minnesota firefighters, paramedics, and dispatchers answer the call every day to keep their communities safe.

Families across the country – including in Minnesota – are facing rising health insurance premiums after the Trump administration let the health care premium tax credits expire.

A few years ago, a woman named Melissa wrote to me after I shared my own breast cancer story. She made an appointment after she heard what happened to me. They found a lump. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer — caught early, because she went in. Today, she’s cancer-free.

Thank you to the Minnesota Lynx. It was a tough end to the season, but we’re all looking forward to cheering you on again next year. 🏀

Donald Trump’s massive cuts to health care are causing premiums to increase nationwide – and Minnesotans are paying the price.

I have a plan to get student achievement up and screen time in the classroom down. That includes using evidence-based approaches to drive real results in reading and math, small group tutoring, and boosting attendance.

Happy birthday to my amazing running mate! Ben is a proven leader, a former small business owner and mayor, and a great husband and dad. And with your vote, he’d be the first person from Western Minnesota elected to statewide office in over 50 years! Here’s to the best year ahead, Ben!

Iowa Hawkeyes. Atlanta Hawks. Not the same team, not even the same state. Get your facts straight before calling someone a dirtbag. Instead of this distraction, we should have hearings on health care costs, 8 million Americans losing coverage, and tariffs crushing our farmers.

The only person who needed “rehabilitation” in today's hearing was my colleague who didn’t know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes. Don't try to distract the American people from rising costs and people losing their health care, especially if you don't have your facts straight.

As a Gopher fan, I know the difference between the Hawks and the Hawkeyes.

With energy costs soaring nationwide, I’m pushing for federal heating assistance funding, which helps thousands of Minnesota families cover their heating costs during winter, to be released as quickly as possible. During a Minnesota winter, heating your home is a necessity, not a luxury.

As Governor, I will fight to lower prescription drug costs and reduce premiums. And if Republicans in Congress don’t restore the federal health care tax credits, I’ll do it at the state level.

Late votes tonight but one good update: the Early Act (a breast cancer bill I lead w/Sen. Crapo and with House Lead Debbie Wasserman Schultz) passed through the Senate tonight and is headed to the House! It helps young women who are most at risk of getting breast cancer.

The American people are asking what this war has accomplished. Are we closer to a strong and strict agreement to curtail Iran's nuclear ambitions? The answer is no. Are we now dealing with Iranian leaders who are less hardline? The answer is no.

The next Governor has to have a plan to help Minnesotans afford the health care they need. My plan is focused on reducing premiums, lowering prescription drug costs, and keeping hospitals open.

When child care costs as much as a mortgage or families are stuck on waiting lists, it’s harder for parents to work and communities to grow. As Governor, I will expand access to quality, affordable child care options.

Vikings win! The defense came through big when it mattered most. Another hard-fought win and a 3-0 start! #SKOL
