Third stop on Small Business Saturday Heidi’s Growhaus in Corcoran. I bought a winter plant for my porch. They are serving hot cider and Christmas cookies, and there’s a bonfire to warm up while shopping the wares outside!

@thewoodsgifts was my 2nd small business Saturday stop. I have six nephews, and thanks to The Woods, I found something for four of the boys, making some serious Christmas shopping progress just this afternoon!

Because of my prior career in global manufacturing where I saw the excess and waste, and now working with veterans experiencing homelessness, I don’t add things to my life unless I am really sure it fills a specific use. I also love the brand’s mission of helping women and children in India.

My first stop on Small Business Saturday was Mama’s Happy, a newer shop on Main Street in Maple Grove. I finally found a nice backpack purse! I have been looking for a bag like this for years.

My gym @crossfitunastamus does hero wods every Saturday. Today was the Colson in honor of Det. Jacai Colson who was killed in the line of duty March 13, 2016. A very challenging workout, great for the Saturday after Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Across the table. Across the aisle. Grateful for your support.

We visited the Minnesota Discovery Center while a holiday small business fair was underway. My day culminated with a holiday parade in downtown Virginia. I also discovered that my sister-in-law grew up only a handful of miles from Steve, and they attended high school together.

I learned about how mining technology has evolved over the years, how the Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation Board (IRRRB) has used state taxes on taconite production for economic development in the region, and what mining land can become once reclaimed.

Thank you, Biwabik Mayor Steve Biondich, for a fantastic tour of the Iron Range Saturday! We had many stops in Eveleth, Virginia, Biwabik, Chisholm, Hibbing, and Gilbert.

I started my morning with the DFL Women’s Power breakfast where former Senator Heidi Heitkamp from my home state of ND gave the keynote (virtually). Always great to be in the presence of strong women!

For the past three years, I was proud to stand with ACM at the capitol advocating for pro-charitable gambling legislation as The American Legion Department of Minnesota legislative chair.

It was an honor to give the keynote at the Allied Charities of Minnesota conference in Duluth Friday night and hold space with people who give so much to their communities.

I am in Duluth at the Allied Charities of Minnesota annual conference. For years I have been fighting alongside ACM at the state capitol for tax cuts to charitable gambling revenues. Charities are in every community in MN. They do so much good. Looking forward to speaking at the dinner this evening!

And participated in the color guard with my legion post at an observance on Maple Grove. I wore my Army dress uniform to Orono. It still fits!

Veterans Day Message from Kristy Janigo and Mark Legvold for MN Senate

After we take our uniforms off, service doesn't end. That's why I am running for state senate in SD37. And I'm happy to be joined by Mark Legvold, a veteran who is running for state senate in SD58, on our journey to St. Paul.

I'm excited to see how this new segment of roadway will positively impact the region to relieve congestion, encourage business growth, and accommodate residential development.
