You can’t start a new business or save for retirement if your rent is eating up your paycheck. Out-of-state corporate landlords are using algorithms to fix prices, inflating rents across the country. As Senator, I introduced the bill to take on this price fixing, and as Governor, I’ll get it done.

President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is a property tax increase in disguise. It will cost Minnesota $37 million a year starting next month — and that could rise to $142 million starting next October.

Last weekend, our family said goodbye to Tim Kauffman, my cousin Betsy's husband, and father to Emily and Grace. Tim served in the Army for over six years as a jumpmaster. He never missed one of his girls’ games, concerts, or school events.

My opponent is attacking me for something that didn’t happen because she doesn’t have a credible argument against me. And all of these attack and dark money ads? They are mostly paid for by one guy– a Wisconsin billionaire who’s one of Donald Trump’s biggest donors.

One of the best parts of the Fair is the people you run into along the way. Great to see so many new faces today — and some familiar ones like the incredible Jack Jablonski!

Great to visit the Vikings Training Camp this week and meet with Coach Kevin O'Connell! We talked about hosting the NFL Draft in 2028 — a huge opportunity to bring visitors and support small businesses in our state.

You can’t take a job in another town if there’s no place to live. You can’t grow a family without a place to put them.

Democrats and Republicans, Minnesotans and Wisconsinites — we may not agree on who should win the Super Bowl or who has better cheese curds, but we do agree the Blatnik Bridge is worth investing in. Thank you to my friend Senator Tammy Baldwin and all who came together to make this project possible.

The Blatnik Bridge connects Duluth and Superior — two cities built around one truly Great Lake that has powered trade and commerce here for generations. That lake is now, and will always be, known as Lake Superior.

Gloria Steinem dedicated her life to making sure women’s voices were heard. From the fight for reproductive rights to equal pay, she helped build the movement that changed what was possible for generations of women after her. We will keep carrying her work onward.

My prayers are with the families of the two people killed and all those injured in yesterday’s shooting, including the law enforcement officers. I’m grateful for the Minneapolis police and the other first responders who rushed to the scene and put themselves in harm’s way to protect others.

I just spoke with the Mayor about the horrific shootings with multiple victims in downtown Minneapolis. Please avoid the area as law enforcement works to secure the scene. My prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. Thank you to our courageous law enforcement.

Great joining the housing forum at the KARE 11 Barn today at the State Fair. I have a plan to lower costs and make life more affordable for Minnesota families – and that starts with housing.

Lisa Demuth couldn’t name one thing she disagrees with Donald Trump on. Not the health care cuts that are devastating our rural hospitals. Not the war in Iran that has cost American lives & driven up prices. Minnesotans deserve a Governor who will work for them – not a rubber-stamp for Donald Trump.

Minnesota farmers know how quickly events around the world can drive up costs here at home. When Trump’s war in Iran disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, fertilizer prices spiked — and Minnesota farmers felt it immediately.

Today we celebrated the life of Jim Deal — a farm kid from Herman who went on to shape federal crop insurance policy under President Carter and built two successful companies here in Minnesota.

Good news: The House just passed a bipartisan bill with a key provision based on my legislation to delay the federal hemp ban, which I opposed last year. It’s headed to the President’s desk & he should sign it immediately.

Honored to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota Pipe Trades, representing nearly 10,000 plumbers, pipefitters, sprinklerfitters, gasfitters, and HVAC technicians across our state. These are the people who keep our homes, businesses, and energy systems running.

Happy Woodbury Days! I came straight from the Fair, just in time for the parade. And we had a great crew out today: Olympic Curling Coach Phill Drobnick, Karla Bigham, my running mate Ben Schierer, and our amazing volunteers.

This week the FDA approved a new pill for pancreatic cancer, which nearly doubled the survival rate for patients with advanced pancreatic cancer. For one of the deadliest cancers, it’s the biggest step forward in decades and a reminder of the power of medical innovation.

Teachers like Chelsea are focused on helping every student succeed. As a literacy teacher in St. Cloud, she knows firsthand that keeping cell phones out of the classroom helps students focus on what matters: reading, writing, critical thinking, and learning.

Trump’s tariffs have already cost Minnesotans $4.8 billion — that’s equivalent to $2,000 per household. While our businesses and families are struggling with higher costs, the President is doubling down on his trade war with Canada – our state’s #1 trading partner.

Back again this year for one of my favorite State Fair traditions: the 4-H Beef Show. Minnesota has more than 1,000 4-H clubs and 50,000 kids enrolled — and every one of them is part of a long agricultural tradition that’s led our state for generations.

It’s Fire Prevention Day at the State Fair! After this summer’s wildfires raged across Northern Minnesota, we’re especially grateful for the firefighters who protect our state and keep us safe.

One of my favorite parts of the Fair is how it brings people together from all across our state — and the country! Ben and I got to spend the day talking to Minnesotans about what's on their minds – and got to see this year’s Princess Kay of the Milky Way and her butter sculpture!

Great to be at the Union Pavilion at the State Fair! Coming from a union family, I’m proud to have the AFL-CIO and Building Trades endorsement and wore the LiUNA orange on Day 1. Labor built our state — and as Governor, I will do all I can to keep our unions strong.

Kids Rock! in Luverne is proof of what we can accomplish when we bring people together to get things done. As Mayor Baustian said, “Without your helping us get that federal grant, we couldn’t have done this.”
