My district has some of the best restaurants and shops. This morning was coffee with a White Bear Lake city council member at one of my favorite coffee spots in WBL. Thank you Bean & Co for the delicious breakfast and coffee.

Melissa Hortman was a force. She was brilliant, funny, fierce, and so deeply kind. She believed in people and gave everything she had to public service. My heart is broken for her family and for our friends John and Yvette Hoffman, we're praying for you and a successful recovery.

Special session done, budget passed. While D.C. is in chaos, we delivered for Minnesotans: school meals, reproductive rights, clean energy, paid leave, gun safety, and college without crushing debt. We tackled tough issues and stopped GOP rollbacks every chance we got. #mnleg

Yesterday my daughter graduated from Mounds View High School and part of the tradition was walking through your elementary school where the students offer grads advice. Shout out to this wise elementary student who gave the best advice and made us all cry with the last line. 🫶

Always grateful to be invited and attend the Memorial Day Program at Union Cemetery in White Bear Lake. Memorial Day is a time to remember not just the fallen, but the values they fought to protect: freedom, democracy, and unity.

May 25th marks five years since George Floyd was killed. His death forced Minnesota—and the nation—to reckon with the reality of systemic racism in policing and beyond.

As a teacher, this one means a lot. Today we signed pension reform into law, a long overdue step forward for Minnesota educators. We also boosted pensions for firefighters and police officers. Deep thanks to Sen. Nick Frentz for being a relentless advocate. #mnleg

These remarks misrepresent the OIG bill and dismiss the serious, bipartisan work behind it. The IG’s unique role is clearly defined, and it’s clear the current system needs support. Minnesotans deserve better oversight and real accountability. #mnleg

Teacher pension reform was one of the reasons I ran for office and today I was proud to vote yes on the substantial positive changes this pension bill contains. For years, many of us have been fighting to make things right and today we took a huge step forward. #mnleg #teachers

Did you get this text tonight? Here’s the truth: In 2023, the DFL delivered historic $ for seniors, nursing homes, & vulnerable Minnesotans. We eliminated social security income tax for ~80% of seniors. I watched Republicans vote AGAINST these bills. The hypocrisy is wild, even for them.
