I was a SNAP kid. Now I'm running for Congress against the guy who gutted SNAP.
We must get corporate PACs and dark money out of our politics.

The people didn’t want this. But the corporate donors did. Guess who got their way?

I strongly disagree with Congressman Finstad’s support for these illegal attacks and regime change in Venezuela.
We have to stop risking American lives and wasting taxpayer dollars on these invasions that primarily benefit military contractors and Big Oil.

Since we don't take any money from corporate PACs, we have to get creative to keep raising money the clean way:

I'm thrilled to have the support of the Rochester Education Association, which represents 1,000+ teachers, nurses, and counselors in Rochester Public Schools.
I’m grateful for REA’s support as we fight for working people across southern Minnesota.

Eight months ago today, we launched our campaign to bring down costs, take on corruption, and invest in small towns across Southern Minnesota.
I'm humbled by all the support, and I'll continue working hard so that we can have the representation we deserve in Congress.

I enjoyed speaking to a bunch of young folks organized by the Rochester Community initiative this afternoon.
We discussed a number of key political issues and the importance of getting involved with caucuses and elections next year.

I’m heartbroken for the Stewartville community, and I am praying for the student who was hurt and his family.
My heart is with everyone shaken by this morning’s violence, and I am grateful for the first responders who responded quickly to this tragedy.

It was great to tour the Local 1382 Carpenters Union Training Center today! They are training the next generation of carpenters with strong apprenticeship programs, and I appreciated getting to see it firsthand.

Today, four clinics are closing in southern Minnesota. Meanwhile, Congress is making it even harder to make the math work on rural healthcare.
It's wrong, and I'm running for Congress to start investing in small towns again.

It was great to stop by Muna Halal for a bite this evening with some members of my team. The Somali food was fantastic!
Our Somali American neighbors have made so many meaningful contributions to our community.

I enjoyed chatting with folks at Mineral Springs Brewery in Owatonna! We had a great conversation about how we can make life more affordable if politicians stop handing over our money to corporate donors, and start investing it in southern Minnesota instead.

I'm excited to be highlighted as an Unrig Washington candidate by @endcitizensunited.bsky.social because of my commitment to take on corruption in Washington.
Life is too expensive, but our politicians are too focused on serving corporate donors, rather than bringing costs down for us.

A little bit of snow wasn't going to stop us from supporting our local shops on this Small Business Saturday!
A few of my former students and I dropped by Old Abe's for some hot chocolate and good conversation this afternoon.

Before going to Congress, I wanted to make sure there was absolutely nothing else I could do to bring down the cost of Thanksgiving dinner.
