I connected with kids & seniors today! At Newport Head Start Flag Day event, we discussed free lunches for kids & our new inclusive state flag. When I met w/ seniors, I shared about great programs: grants for homeless elder prevention, senior nutrition, food bank & shelf funding.

Love connecting with students when they visit the Capitol! Today I chatted with students from Royal Oaks Elementary in Woodbury and answered some great questions about bills and the legislative process.

A perfect spring day enjoying a couple MN treasures...
Thanks MN DNR for the hatchery tour!
Our scout troop learned about the process from egg to stocking MN lakes + saw baby musky.
Then, a great time at the The Ordway Flint Hills Family Fest. Music 🎶, activities, & saw a great show!

A moving #MemorialDay2025 ceremony at the St. Cloud VA this a.m., hosted by the St. Cloud area METROVETS.
I was seated next to a Gold Star family, & their loss was unimaginable.
Afterwards, it was nice to connect w/other veteran advocates (photo with MN DAV Commander Walker).

The significance of signing HS graduation letters 🎓while voting YES to fund teacher pensions & unemployment insurance for our school’s hourly workers is not lost on me.
Thank you to everyone who helps our children succeed & thrive!

Thank you to the Hmong community for again inviting me out to help honor Hmong SGU Remembrance Day (May 14).
It was a moving and lovely event, under beautiful sunshine (vs. rain 2 yrs ago). This year was extra special, celebrating 50yrs since Hmong resettlement in the U.S.

Today I met with a new Woodbury resident who is also an advocate for Habitat for Humanity. We agreed on the need for more affordable housing in MN, and she shared concerns about the rising cost of homeowners insurance.

Love seeing our senior advocates coming out to the Capitol to have their voices heard, focusing on saving Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare, and Veterans Health Care.

Three Rivers Park District does amazing advocacy & have visited the Capitol for years. I just HAD to snuggle a sweet baby lamb (who started falling asleep in my arms) while learning about their excellent programs of inclusivity, increasing access to parks for all, and education.

The MN Senate just passed the Job & Labor bill today with bipartisan provisions! It includes supporting workers with stronger mandatory break laws: giving clearer language & specific time frames for breaks required. This adds more transparency between employers and workers.

It’s always a great day at the Capitol when I meet with young people who are making a difference!
Today I learned about a student engagement program through Planned Parenthood where peers can help ensure fellow students are learning medically accurate information.

Yesterday I attended a panel for Black Maternal Health Week Event, where I heard discussions and shared heartbreaking stories surrounding people’s birthing experience. It highlighted the continued need to advocate for equitable health care.

The Polar Plunge at East Ridge H.S. yesterday was a huge success - the event raised over $10,000 for Unified Club & Special Olympics!
I'm so honored I was asked to participate.
(Fortunately I changed after floor session & didn't have to compete with Sen. Lucero’s outfits! 😂)
