Unlike my opponent, who called this legislation “good for Minnesota,” I will stand up for our state when the Trump administration’s policies hurt Minnesotans.

That cost gets passed on to all 87 of our counties, forcing them to raise taxes or cut services, while also raising grocery costs for families.

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.

He loved his family and the Vikings, and always thought this was going to be their year. Betsy, Emily, and Grace — John and I love you and are holding you in our hearts.

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.

While Lisa Demuth may be this Wisconsin billionaire’s choice for Governor – I want to be Minnesota’s.
- AK
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.

Housing is the foundation for our lives — and I’m committed to lowering housing costs as Governor by working with the private sector to close Minnesota’s housing shortage and build 100,000 homes.

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.

And the Gophers’ season begins! School spirit (with a little inspiration from the Norwegians and the coach)!

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.
- AK
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.

As Governor, I’ll work with the private sector to put us on a path to build 100,000 new homes. That means cutting red tape, making it easier to buy a first home, ending rip-offs that drive up rents, and supporting manufactured homes.
- AK
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.

But Minnesota has always been a leader in innovation, including new ways to fertilize crops. This gives farmers more options, lowers input costs, strengthens our agricultural economy, and reduces water pollution. That’s the kind of agricultural innovation I will support as Governor.
- AK
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.

Jim was a friend, a champion of many including Anoka’s St. Stephen’s Catholic Church where his funeral was held today. He was also a great storyteller who believed in giving back and will be deeply missed. My thoughts are with his wife Pam and the whole Deal family.
- AK
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.

This gives us time to find a long-term solution for our farmers & small businesses.

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.

Grateful for all who have served and for the men and women who continue to serve our country. What unites is still bigger than what divides us.

Today at Military Appreciation Day at the State Fair, we honored the service members who served our country including 103 1/2-year-old WWII veteran Don Halverson who was there with us.

That’s why I’ll work with school districts on evidence-based approaches that get results: student achievement up and screen time in the classroom down.

Dr. Diana Cutts has spent her career caring for children as a pediatrician. She knows the importance of helping kids build healthy boundaries with technology early — and making sure they have time to focus, connect, and learn.

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.

With nearly 300 different food vendors at the Fair, we certainly aren’t lacking options. But each year, I’m excited to try something new.

It was also great to see women farmers from across the state featured at the booth – recognizing the many women who are helping lead the future of agriculture. Thanks to Dakota County Farm Bureau President Jessie Bester for having us!

John and I dropped by the Farm Bureau booth to talk to some of the farmers and ranchers who feed our families and strengthen our local economies.

As Governor, I’ll work to keep Minnesota at the forefront of medical innovation by connecting our world-class universities, research institutions, and businesses so breakthroughs in the lab become new treatments, new companies, and good jobs.

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.
