Please join Senator Andrew Lang, Representative Scott Van Binsbergen, and I for a Legislative Town Hall tomorrow morning. The event is free to attend with an RSVP; please RSVP at [email protected].

These conversations matter because good policy starts with listening. Minnesotans deserve transparency, accountability, and leaders who are willing to show up, answer the tough questions, and keep working toward practical solutions that actually improve the lives of Minnesotans.

We hope to see you there!⭐️

What a year! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of District 16B and to bring home real, meaningful results that put Minnesota families first. 🇺🇸

This year we got to work on the things that matter most: cutting wasteful spending, strengthening protections for workers, expanding access to care, improving safety standards, and standing firm on constitutional rights.

At the end of the day, it’s about making sure government actually listens and delivers.

But the best part of this job will always be you. The conversations at kitchen tables, in shop aisles, on farms, and at community events with parents, seniors, farmers, small business owners, and workers who keep our communities moving forward.

Thank you for the trust you place in me every day. I’ll keep showing up, speaking up, and fighting to make sure your voice is heard in St. Paul. 📢

We’re working through the weekend at the Capitol to get the job done and pass the final pieces we can agree on: supporting our rural hospitals, fighting for school safety funding, and lowering tab fees for Minnesota families.

As much as I’d love to be back home in Sunburg this weekend for Syttende Mai and to see everyone at the parade, the work happening here is just too important to walk away from.

We’re pushing hard to finish on time and deliver for Greater Minnesota! 🚜🇺🇸

National Police Week is incredibly personal for those who have worn the badge.

This week, we honor the heroes who never made it home, the families who carry that loss each and every day, and the officers who still put on the uniform and answer the call to serve others.

I was proud to attend this year’s Peace Officers Memorial event recognizing the brave men and women we have lost in the line of duty. Their courage, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten.

We remember them. We honor them. And we continue to stand beside the law enforcement community across Minnesota and our country. 💙

This morning, I had the privilege of standing alongside local healthcare providers, pharmacists, and patient advocates to support House File 3609—a great bipartisan bill that protects access to affordable prescription medications for Minnesotans through the 340B program.

The 340B program helps hospitals and providers stretch resources further so they can continue serving patients who need care the most.

Unfortunately, large drug manufacturers have been chipping away at that access, and this bill says loud and clear: not in Minnesota!

No one should have to worry about losing access to affordable healthcare because of where they live. I'm proud to support legislation that protects rural healthcare and puts all Minnesota patients first! 🏥🇺🇸

Well friends, we are officially in the home stretch, with just 9 days until adjournment! 🎉

Before we sprint across the finish line, I want to take a moment to say thank you.

Thank you for the honor of serving as your voice in St. Paul. Thank you for your trust, your support, and most importantly, your engagement. I believe an informed and involved constituency is what makes a district strong; and if that’s the standard, I’d say our district is second to none.

Over these next nine days, I’ll keep fighting hard to deliver wins for our district and make sure your voice is heard loud and clear at the Capitol.

Thank you for being on this journey with me.🤝

Minnesota is long overdue for real oversight, real accountability, and real consequences for fraudsters.

Today was a huge win for transparency and for every Minnesotan tired of seeing waste, fraud, and abuse go unchecked.

House Republicans’ #1 priority bill has just PASSED.

Billions of taxpayer dollars were lost to fraud while Democrats controlled state government. That was not bad luck. It was years of ignored warnings, weak oversight, and no real accountability.

Today, the House passed the Office of Inspector General bill to bring independent oversight, protect taxpayer dollars, and help make sure this never happens again.

One of my favorite schools stopped by the Capitol for a visit this week!

Central Minnesota Christian School from Prinsburg, Minnesota—such a great group of students bringing energy, curiosity, and great questions into the building.

Thanks so much for making the trip and stopping by!📚✏️

We have just 16 days left until we adjourn sine die & this week was just as busy as the last!

The work isn’t slowing down, and neither am I. I’ll continue keeping you updated every step of the way as we close out this session.

As always, thank you for trusting me to be your voice at the Capitol—together, we’re bringing common sense and real accountability back to St. Paul. ⚖️
