We turned out the vote, showed up for competitive legislative districts & we won! Together, we elected a pro-democracy @MinnesotaDFL #mnleg majority and statewide leaders. Excited to continue building the #PowerOfUs with you at the Capitol and in our community.
Here's Tom Emmer fist-bumping and laughing as he strips away healthcare and nutrition assistance from millions of Americans and adds 3.3 trillion to the national debt.
We’re lighting the I-35W bridge green tonight and tomorrow in honor of Melissa Hortman, who found joy and peace in trees and gardens 🌳
Today, we say goodbye to our beloved Melissa and Mark Hortman. Tomorrow, we redouble our effort to build a country and a state that are “equal to their aspirations and a politics worthy of their example.” 💚 📷️ Alex Kormann @StarTribune
Robin Ann Williams, a close friend to the Hortmans, said she knew the couple long enough to be there for Colin’s first words, trips overseas together and countless dinners in the kitchen of their Brooklyn Park home. “We are buried in sorrow right now,” Williams said. “But I do…
Today, with deep sorrow, we laid Melissa and Mark Hortman to rest. Melissa and Mark were the very best of us. Minnesota is a better place because of their selfless service and sacrifice. Now, it’s up to all of us to carry their extraordinary legacy forward and work hard to build…
Checking in with folks after the last few terrifying and devastating days in Minnesota. #Minnesota #mnleg

Today #mnleg Inclusive Democracy Caucus Co-chairs Sen. Liz Boldon, Rep. @CedrickFrazier and I strongly condemn Trump’s deployment of US Marines on the streets of Los Angeles and his abuses of power to silence dissent and protest. Read full statement here: house.mn.gov/members/profil…
This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?
this is from Padilla's staff, it's of them cuffing the Senator out in the hall
Truth
No changes to noncompete ban in Minnesota after a concerted effort by large companies to roll it back for highly paid workers. Rep. Greenman told me yesterday she's never worked so hard for nothing to happen
#mnleg Republicans are following Trump’s lead-scapegoating undocumented Minnesotans to distract the public from efforts to shovel billions of taxpayer dollars into a broken system profiting big Pharma, health insurance companies & CEOs. My remarks on the House Floor here 👇
'Hello,' said Frog. 'Look at my list of things to do,' said Toad. 'Oh,' said Frog, 'that is very nice.' Toad said, 'My list tells me that we will go for a walk.'
Interrupting this daily #mnleg budget overtime update with a warning: the biggest Minnesota corporations are trying to extract tax cuts and roll back worker protections—all while raking in profits hand over fist. This is a shakedown. Enough is enough. #handsoff #unrigoureconomy
Taking a beat this weekend to look up, breathe in, and use this sunny beautiful spring day to stay grounded in why this fight for an inclusive, multiracial democracy matters. For all of you out there in this fight - take care of yourself, we are in this together. #handsoff
Just days before the 5th anniversary of George Floyd’s murder, the Trump Administration announced it will abandon its consent decree between Minneapolis and the Department of Justice. The #mnleg DFL Minneapolis Delegation released the following statement:
Reality check: For a month @mnhousegop refused to pass an education budget without repealing unemployment eligibility for bus drivers, paras and food service workers. Then they insisted no amendments to avoid a vote on taking out the repeal. But we won’t let it become law.
Reality check: - The agreement was brought forward after leadership secured agreement from @GovTimWalz. - The bill was authored by a Democrat. - 27 Democrats voted in favor of it. The governor put you in this position. No one else. #mnleg #bipartisen #togetherwecan #minnesota
WATCH: #mnleg House Republicans forced a vote last night to take away unemployment insurance from hourly school workers who drive, feed, and educate our kids. But this UI repeal will not become law because DFLers won’t let it. I won’t let them roll back rights for workers.
💪🔥💪🔥 I am fighting hard to protect Minnesota workers from rolling back their freedom to take a different job or start their own business. @mnhouseDFL is fighting for worker freedoms and protections while our GOP House collegues fight to roll back those freedoms. #mnleg
There’s an effort underway to roll back Minnesota’s ban on noncompetes. These carve-outs would block healthcare workers & others from freely switching jobs. Important for MN lawmakers & @GovTimWalz to reject this effort. A snapshot of how noncompetes have harmed Minnesotans:
The work in the state legislature can be tough, especially this time of year. There a few people who do it with more grit, determination, and love than @paulcumings. He’d be a great member of the #mnleg! 👇👇👇
I am exploring a run for the MN Legislature in Senate District 53. I will make a decision after the session ends. For the next couple of weeks I will be reaching out to neighbors for their input and advice. I will also be working hard to deliver real results as we end session.
