In Minnesota, we continue to honor their legacy.

Making Minnesota the best state to raise a family means focusing on affordability and addressing barriers to owning a home.

We’ve made the largest investment in housing in state history and today, we rank as the top state for young homebuyers.

We will not let Minnesotans go hungry.

Kicked off the deer hunting season in Cannon Falls this morning.

Good luck to everyone sharing in this time-honored Minnesota tradition!

High-tech manufacturing keeps Minnesota on the cutting edge while creating the jobs that make us a top place to live and work.

Great to check out the floor at Rolls-Royce Solutions and hear about their continued investment in Mankato.

Whether you’re heading out for your first hunt or continuing a generations-old tradition, the deer hunting opener is a special time in Minnesota.

Great talking about the economic impact and Minnesota’s reputation as a deer hunting destination with hunters and conservationists.

A big thank you to our poll workers and election judges for your commitment to democracy. Minnesota’s elections are safe, free, and fair because of you.

In Minnesota, we’re proud to have some of the highest voter turnout in the nation - and we want to keep it that way.

Make a plan, and bring a friend!

Maintaining our ranking as a top state for safety starts with investing in law enforcement.

We just broke ground on a new facility and crime lab in Mankato to strengthen investigative, laboratory, and training services for law enforcement agencies throughout southern Minnesota.

Americans are inclined to help their neighbors.

The Trump Administration is inclined to let Americans go hungry.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Proud of these trick-or-treaters for braving the rain on a very Minnesota Halloween!

Happy Halloween from Georgie!

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked:

A top 10 state for safety.

A top 5 state to live in.

A top 3 state for jobs.

A top 3 state to retire.

The 2nd best state to raise a family.

The 2nd best state for children.

A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

Amid national economic insecurity, Minnesota just ranked as a top three state in the nation for job seekers.

That includes nation-leading job benefits, worker protections, and a diverse economy.

If you need a job, we want you here.

Following three years of significant investments in addiction services, opioid overdoses have declined by 32% in the last year.

We’re saving lives and showing what’s possible when we meet this crisis with compassion and action.

Minnesota ranks among the top 10 safest states in the nation.

That’s thanks to the brave first responders who answer the call every day to help their neighbors, and the efforts we’ve made to improve safety in every neighborhood across the state.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in economic activity.

It’s not about the money, Trump just wants Americans to go hungry.
October 28, 2025 at 3:32 PM
The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.
October 28, 2025 at 1:34 AM
If Washington won’t lead, Minnesota will.

Trump is holding our tax dollars hostage and cutting off the funding that keeps 440,000 Minnesotans from hunger.

I just announced $4 million in new funding for Minnesota’s food shelves to help our neighbors weather the storm.

A married couple earning $85,000 per year will pay $15,000 more next year for health care if Republicans in Washington won’t act.

Minnesotans can’t afford this.

Minnesota is home to innovative companies like Donaldson, where they’re solving the world's most complex filtration and contamination challenges - and creating great jobs!

I’m proud that we rank as a top state for business.
