Minnesota’s first responders are doing heroic work battling the wildfires in northern Minnesota. I am committed to making sure they have every resource they need as this fight continues.

Premiums NATIONALLY are up 58%. Deductibles at a record high. Republicans ended the health care tax credits and now Minnesotans are losing coverage. Minnesotans deserve better, we must restore them.

I’m honored to have the support of LiUNA’s 14,000 members as we build a government that matches their work ethic and matches their ambition.

This administration cut food safety surveillance, and now a foodborne illness outbreak spread to at least 31 states with nearly 2,800 confirmed cases. I’m calling on the CDC and FDA to restore this funding to keep Americans and our food supply safe.

Thanks to the MN Building & Construction Trades Council for the endorsement & for hosting me at the convention today. MN needs a governor who will cut through the red tape of state government, invest in apprenticeships & fight for workers’ wages & safety. I'm honored to have their endorsement.

Up in Ely meeting with Forest Service leaders and state and local fire fighters and elected officials of both parties to hear directly about the unprecedented fires burning across the Superior National Forest. Grateful for their work.

Six years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis. I walked the Edmund Pettus Bridge with him — the bridge where he was violently attacked for standing up for voting rights. His message has never been more important: the right to vote is precious. It’s sacred. It’s our job to carry on his torch.

Health care premiums are skyrocketing because he won’t extend the tax credits. His tariffs are crushing Minnesota farmers & small businesses, and his war with Iran is raising prices even more. Instead of doing anything to lower costs for Americans, Donald Trump continues to attack the right to vote.

Every American has the right to vote. But the President continues to attack that right, including once again voting by mail (which he has done himself).

Anil Menon grew up in Minneapolis. A field trip to the Science Museum of Minnesota inspired him to become an astronaut. This week, he arrived at the International Space Station for his first mission.

A good idea from a lab in Duluth or a farm outside Worthington should have a clear path to becoming a product, a company, and good-paying jobs for Minnesotans. As Governor, I will create a Minnesota Innovation Network to connect businesses to universities, research centers, and incubators statewide.

Minnesotans shouldn't have to wait longer for their mail simply because of where they live. That's why I'm calling on the USPS to reverse changes that would slow mail delivery across Minnesota.
- AK
Air quality is now hazardous across most of the state — with records of wildfire smoke set in Duluth, Grand Portage, and the Twin Cities. Check on your neighbors and above all, stay safe, Minnesota.

Minnesota farmers are the backbone of our state, and I'm committed to helping them thrive for generations. We'll expand no- and low-interest emergency loans, strengthen farmer-lender mediation and mental health support, and open new markets for our crops. When farmers succeed, Minnesota succeeds.

Suni Lee is back. Six Olympic medals, the first Hmong American Olympic gymnast, and St. Paul’s own. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Thankful to hear that Minnesota campers and counselors stranded by wildfires in Ontario are safe and heading home. Thank you to everyone who helped make this rescue possible — from first responders and Canadian officials to YMCA staff.

Mike Lindell is Donald Trump’s choice. I hope to be Minnesota’s.

I’m honored to be endorsed by the Minnesota State Building and Construction Trades Council. The workers who do the hard work building our state know the commitment I will bring to fixing Minnesota’s roads and bridges.

Washington Post headline: Fatal ICE shooting has Maine city on edge: ‘Tomorrow it could be someone else’ Minnesotans know this heartbreak. From Minnesota to Texas to Maine, there must be accountability and an end to these killings.
- AK
We know how powerful and fast-moving the fires are up north right now, and everyone should follow evacuation orders. Tonight I spoke with the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service about more resources for our brave local crews.
- AK
Just as we finally got the federal government to begin sharing evidence with investigators in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, two more people are dead — killed by ICE in Texas and Maine. Republicans in Congress need to stand up. These killings must stop.

Trump’s Big Beautiful Betrayal of a bill defunded women’s health and made the largest health care cuts in our nation's history. These headwinds may be a constant. But they can never be an excuse. As Governor, I will protect reproductive rights for the women of Minnesota.

For months, the feds withheld evidence in the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. I’ve pressed the DOJ to release those records to the State investigators, including at a recent meeting. We understand that they are now sharing information with Minnesota investigators.
- AK
Minnesota has stood up for so many women by protecting access to reproductive healthcare. Rep. Morrison and I talked with Minnesotans about what’s at stake: health centers closing, women traveling further for care and paying more. When our rights are threatened, we don't wait. We take action.

I’ve heard from Minnesotans and local newspapers about how a new Trump mail delivery plan from the U.S. Postal Service will negatively impact them — making it slower and less reliable. That's your paycheck, Social Security benefits, medications and news. I'm urging the USPS to reverse this plan.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is a historic win for families. It includes my bill to help communities modernize zoning laws and expand housing development. By assisting local governments to remove barriers and plan for growth, we can build more houses and lower costs.

Setting up your lemonade stand on a 90 degree parade route is as entrepreneurial as it gets! Let’s support our local businesses — no matter how small!

What a day at the almost 90 deg. Pan-O-Prog parade in Lakeville! So many Minnesotans despite the heat. People want leaders who show up to listen and deliver results. That’s the kind of Governor I’ll be.

I’m honored to have the endorsement of Planned Parenthood. For so many women, it’s the only place to turn for mammograms, preventive screenings, reproductive health care, or contraception. Thanks to Ruth Richardson & her team, 60,000+ women across Minnesota & the Dakotas can access care they need.

Minnesotans rallied today with one message: we’re not going back. Not on our rights. Not on our health care. Minnesota didn’t wait after Dobbs — becoming the first state in the nation to protect women’s health care rights — and we’re not waiting now.

Students should have a clear path from school to job opportunities. When I am Governor, I will expand career pathways to prepare students for the jobs that are in demand by adding 10,000 apprenticeships and skills training opportunities.

A win is a win! The ROAD to Housing Act is law and it happened at midnight! President Trump refused to sign the most significant federal housing bill in 30 years. The deadline passed and it’s now law.

Trump ousted every commissioner at the Election Assistance Commission. I chaired the committee that oversees this agency. It trains election officials and ensures our elections remain safe and secure. Gutting it before the midterms is reckless and dangerous. https://ow.ly/YVCf50ZmAqI

Greenbush is coming together — volunteers, local businesses and leaders, Mayor Etherington — to build Lil’ Chompers Childcare Center, which is set to open next year with federal funding I helped secure. This is what investing in the future of rural Minnesota looks like. https://ow.ly/z0XC50ZmsI6

Skills learned on the job should count in the classroom. Senator Sheehy and I introduced the bipartisan Credit for Prior Learning Act so students can use federal aid to turn that experience into college credit — finishing their degrees faster and saving on tuition. https://ow.ly/AXGb50ZmsAm

At Rainy Lake Medical Center in International Falls, I saw the great work they’re doing to deliver care — and what’s still needed to expand access to quality care across the Northland. Minnesotans should have access to affordable modern health care. https://ow.ly/eC1q50Zmsw5

Saddened to hear of former Star Tribune columnist Doug Grow's passing. He told Minnesota's stories with wit and compassion, giving voice to people from every walk of life. John and I are keeping his family and all those who loved him in our thoughts.

Over two weeks ago, Congress passed the ROAD to Housing Act with overwhelming bipartisan support. It will pave the way for more housing, make it easier to build, and help more Americans find a place to call home. It’s been sitting on President Trump’s desk long enough. Sign the bill.

The President says the ceasefire between Iran and the U.S. is over. A war he started and is now continuing with no consultation or authorization from Congress. A war that has skyrocketed costs for American families.
