My final stop on my five-county rural economy tour: Todd County! I joined local leaders at Hilltop Square Apartments, an exciting project to transform the former Eagle Valley High School into 23 affordable senior apartments — creating much-needed housing.

Another stop on my rural economy tour: Wadena County! Honored to be part of the Farmers Union Processing + Meats grand opening with Sen. Tina Smith, MFU Pres. Gary Wertish & many local leaders. This new 10,000-square-foot meat processing facility will help meet the needs of our livestock producers.

The sun was shining over the Offutt potato fields near Park Rapids this morning. Can’t beat a Minnesota morning.

I visited Detroit Lakes to talk about my plans to make health care more affordable for Minnesotans. When health care gets cut, rural hospitals and communities are hit especially hard.

Stop 3 of my rural county tour: Dynamic Homes in Detroit Lakes — a manufacturer of modular single-family and multi-family homes, helping expand access to quality, affordable housing in Minnesota.

Yet another reason we need a full top-to-bottom audit of state government, full-out vetting, surprise inspections, tougher penalties — and some common sense. I was on MPR this morning talking about how we get this done.

When U.S. Attorney Andy Luger was prosecuting and exposing fraud cases, I went to the top of the Justice Department to make sure he had the prosecutors he needed to go after these criminals.

One size doesn’t fit all when it comes to health care in Minnesota. Yesterday I was at Community Memorial in Cloquet with their CEO Rick Breuer, talking health care workforce, affordability, and access.

We need to lower health care costs, which have skyrocketed across the country. My opponent supported the Big Beautiful Bill’s drastic Medicaid cuts and doesn’t support extending the health care tax credits to give Minnesotans relief from rising premiums.

Stop two on my rural economy tour: a beautiful day to be in Walker on Leech Lake and meet at the library with local leaders. Got an update on the road project that got some federal funding. Like everywhere else they need housing and child care!

Trump promised to bring down the cost of gas. But his reckless war with Iran has pushed it over $4 a gallon. Instead of lowering costs, he’s telling Americans he’ll “never apologize” for raising them.

Kicking off a rural Minnesota five-county tour! First stop at 8:15 am 🌞 was Benton County at Harvester Square in St. Cloud to meet with the Initiative Foundation and local leaders. Lots of new businesses in the region and a focus on more housing, child care & infrastructure.

As I go around our state, to all of Minnesota’s 87 counties, I hear the same thing: health care costs are putting too much pressure on families, small businesses, and communities. We can do better.

I was in Cloquet today at Community Memorial Hospital to talk about my plan to make health care more affordable and accessible – and to strengthen the community hospitals that are there for Minnesotans when they need them most.

A great afternoon at the LiUNA Minnesota picnic yesterday! It was wonderful to see union members coming together to support their neighbors, help families in need, and give back to their community. Proud to have their endorsement and excited for what we can accomplish together.

The disrespect is appalling. Our men and women in uniform deserve so much better.

Every year, the India Association of Minnesota gathers in St. Paul to celebrate the anniversary of India’s independence – and I was honored to join leaders of the Indian American community for this celebration.

Health insurance premiums for people on the individual market are skyrocketing because the Trump administration let the federal tax credits expire. My priority as Governor will be to reduce premiums and lower health care costs, so families can afford to get the care they need.

Thinking of the members & families of 103D ESC Unit as they gather in Des Moines to honor those they lost, including Minnesota’s own Nicole Amor. We hold the 103D & their family and friends & Joey & his & Nicole’s kids in our prayers today. 🙏

My opponent calls Trump’s health care cuts “good for Minnesota.” And when Trump refused to extend the premium tax credits, she stood by and did nothing. As Governor, I’ll take action to bring down prescription drug costs and give Minnesotans relief from rising premiums.

Retired nurse Tom Smart worked at Winona Health as a nurse for 20 years. He went from provider to patient in an instant when he had a heart attack. When every second counts, he was able to turn to care right in his community: Winona Health.

Back at the National Eagle Center in Wabasha, home to rescued eagles who’ve become ambassadors for conservation across Minnesota. Great to be here with Preston Cook, who joined me in leading the fight to make the bald eagle our official national bird. These eagles are a true Minnesota treasure.

This summer, wildfires forced the Boundary Waters to close at the height of the season – a warning that Northern Minnesota’s fire risk is rising. As Governor, I’ll make sure our local and volunteer firefighter departments have the equipment, training, and staffing they need.

At Game Fair, I joined Ron Schara to talk about the importance of protecting our land, our water, and our wildlife. We need to pass along Minnesota’s incredible tradition of outdoor recreation to the next generation, and I have a plan to do it: amyklobuchar.com/conservation

Today, I was at Winona Health, where Minnesotans can count on quality care close to home. But Medicaid cuts are putting rural hospitals like Winona at risk. I will keep fighting to protect our rural hospitals and clinics and make sure care comes fast, no matter your ZIP code.

I sat down with Ron Schara at Game Fair to discuss my plan and priorities for conservation and outdoor recreation. That includes laying the groundwork to extend the Legacy Amendment, which protects our lands, waters, and outdoor heritage.

We need a Governor who is going to put Minnesotans first. When Donald Trump refused to extend the health insurance premium tax credits and Minnesotans’ health care costs shot up, Lisa Demuth stood by and did nothing. That’s not leadership.

Today, I’m at Saint Paul College where they’re training the next generation of Minnesota’s health care workforce. When we train specialists here and keep them here, every corner of our state benefits.

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day One – but almost two years later, prices have only gone up.

Donald Trump refused to extend the health insurance premium tax credits, and now Americans are paying the price. Out-of-pocket premiums on the individual market jumped 58% last year nationally.

We can and should be doing more for our kids. As Governor, I’ll focus on what works: science-based reading and math curriculum, tutoring for students who’ve fallen behind, and supports for teachers and parents – plus a Summer Reads Initiative so learning never takes a break.

I introduced one of the first bills in the Senate to help veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. That fight became part of the bipartisan PACT Act & this week marks 4 years since this legislation was signed into law — expanding VA health care to nearly 3.5 million veterans exposed to toxic substances.

Our past has made us who we are. But our future is up to us. I want to build that future together. Let's get to work.

A federal judge just blocked Trump’s attempt to control mail-in voting — again — stating, “the executive branch has no authority to regulate elections.” The Constitution gives the power to administer elections to the states, NOT the president. https://ow.ly/8BvH50Zz7Pk

A federal court ruled that Trump can’t build his $400 million White House ballroom without Congress’s approval. He’s vowing to appeal to the Supreme Court. Instead of lowering costs for American families, this is what he’s focused on. apnews.com/article/trum...
