I spoke at the Memorial Day Ceremony at Fort Snelling National Cemetery to honor heroes like Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake, who died serving in Kuwait this year, and Captain Bianchi of New Ulm, who gave his life in World War II. Their courage helped secure the freedoms we enjoy today.

On Memorial Day, we honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice & remember the families who carry their legacy forward. That includes Joey Amor & the Amor kids & family. Nicole Amor of White Bear Lake died this year in Kuwait, serving our nation. Our soldiers’ sacrifice can never be forgotten.

In Little Falls today for the Minnesota State Memorial Day Cemetery to honor the fallen men and women who gave everything for our country. Their sacrifice can never be forgotten, and we carry a duty to those who laid down their lives so we could live ours.

Thank you to the Northern Midwest Regional Council of Carpenters for their endorsement. I grew up in a union family and I believe in the strength of Minnesota’s workforce — and as Governor, I will make sure that hard work is respected and rewarded.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Education Minnesota. My mom taught 2nd grade until she was 70, and education made my family’s story possible. I will work to strengthen our schools and focus on success for our students, parents, educators and state.

Gas prices are up more than 40% from a year ago. Americans are paying the price for the president’s war with Iran at the pump, at the grocery store, and in their summer travel plans.

Great to have Governor Whitmer in Minnesota! Workers deserve dignity and jobs built for the future. That’s what we’re fighting for together.

While costs are through the roof, what has the president been focused on? -Fighting a war costing taxpayers billions of dollars. -Building a billion-dollar ballroom and an arch dedicated to himself. Not lowering your costs.

Trump’s war with Iran has cost Americans more than $42 billion in gas and diesel costs. That’s more than $300 per family. Not peanuts.

33 years at KDWB and never more than a week off — what a run! Congrats on your retirement Dave! www.startribune.com/dave-ryan-kd...

They’re blocking a vote that would’ve reined in the President’s unauthorized war with Iran. Congress needs to do its job and assert its constitutional authority to end this war that has already cost Americans more than $42 billion in higher fuel costs.

In 2024, 564 Minnesotans lost their lives to gun violence. And last year, two little kids’ lives were taken in the Annunciation shooting months after Melissa & Mark Hortman were killed in their own home. We need action on common-sense gun legislation. I will always fight to keep Minnesotans safe.

NEWS: The Senate voted today to put a check on President Trump’s power — and give Congress the say in bringing his war in Iran to an end. I’m grateful to all my colleagues, including 4 Republicans, who joined us in reaffirming Congress’s constitutional authority over going to war.

Minnesotans deserve a government that can carry its weight and match their drive and ambition. If you give me the opportunity to serve as your governor, I will work every day to build a government that solves problems and delivers results for the people it serves.

One year ago, the TAKE IT DOWN Act was signed into law. And Minnesota is now the first state to ban nudification technology entirely. No one should have their life destroyed by non-consensual intimate images or AI deepfakes, and this law is helping protect victims.

My friend Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said it best — in the Midwest, we’re not afraid to work hard. But if we want to make a better future for all Minnesotans, we have to train our workers on the technology of today and build on our culture of innovation.

After two of their employees lost their home to the wildfires, the Rustic Inn Cafe in Two Harbors stepped up to collect donations and serve free meals to first responders and those impacted by the fires. One of the many examples of Minnesotans showing up for one another in a time of need.

The Hmong community in Minnesota is a vital part of our state. A great example of that is Hmong Village in Saint Paul. Visited with Mayor Her to see the thriving small businesses and recognize the contributions Hmong Minnesotans make to our economy and culture.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejected Big Pharma’s appeal to stop Medicare from negotiating lower drug prices. I led this law in 2022, and it has since saved seniors and taxpayers billions of dollars. Today is an important win for everyone who wants lower prescription drug costs.

Spoke with the Mayor of Two Harbors. The winds are still a major issue today with the fires up north, but we hope the rain will help tomorrow. This video is an incredible example of pilots taking water from Lake Superior to fight the fires.

The U.S. House passed legislation to allow year-round E15, which was supported by MN’s entire delegation. I have led this bipartisan bill in the Senate because expanding biofuels will help lower prices at the pump, support farmers, & strengthen our energy independence. Now the Senate needs to act.

Firefighters and emergency responders are battling dangerous wildfire conditions across northeastern Minnesota. They are doing heroic work. All should continue to follow local emergency guidance and avoid closed areas so crews can safely do their work.

Thank you to the Annunciation parents, students, and nearly 8,000 people who signed the petition to stand with lawmakers who are rightfully demanding action on gun violence in the Minnesota House.

BREAKING: Mifepristone will remain accessible for now, which is good news — but it’s clear women’s health care is under attack. We have to restore the protections of Roe. v Wade nationwide.

Women were excluded from clinical trials until 1993. It took an act of Congress to include women in medical research. Since then, we’ve been fighting to bridge the gap. This administration is taking us backward by cutting NIH funding. This Women’s Health Week shows we must keep pushing forward.

Today, I voted to rein in President Trump’s war in Iran — and 3 Republicans voted with us. We need more of them to stand up and join us to end this reckless war and work together to bring down skyrocketing costs for the American people.
