We know that Black homeownership lags in the Twin Cities, and families of color are still impacted by the undervaluing of homes in certain neighborhoods. We can’t ignore the facts: systemic racism played a role in its creation.

We need to understand the roots of the Black homeownership gap, and this is one piece of the puzzle. That’s why I wrote the Mapping Housing Discrimination Act – to encourage other universities to conduct similar research in their communities.

WASHINGTON, D.C. [7/29/21]—Today, U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.) introduced legislation to examine the history of racially restrictive covenants—which were used as tools of discrimination to ke...

Their report on Dakota County found hundreds of these deeds originally assumed only to be heavily present in cities, showing how widespread the effects of racial segregation in housing was. They believe hundreds more are still undiscovered.

Deeds barred home buyers of color in parts of Dakota County

Researchers say statistics suggest an effort was made to create a buffer around the urban core.

‘Racial covenants’ were used in the first half of the last century to ban particular groups (most often Black people) from buying homes in certain neighborhoods. The University of Minnesota just released the nation’s first comprehensive report about their existence in suburbs.

Prairie Pines Childcare in Fosston is serving families thanks to community support. I helped secure over $400K to remodel the center to expand access for more kids. Projects like these mean rural Minnesota families can head to work and know their children are safe and cared for.

Extreme drought, high input prices, and labor shortages have made the already hard work of farming even more challenging. Today I visited Gunderson Farm to discuss what we can do to support wheat farmers and rural communities in the upcoming Farm Bill.

Finding housing in rural areas is hard. Finding affordable housing in rural areas is harder. Finding affordable housing in rural areas while recovering from substance use is nearly impossible. My piece on how to expand rural housing access

President Biden signed into law an infrastructure bill that’s improving Minnesotans' lives. I visited the Fargo-Moorhead Diversion project, which is moving forward thanks to this law. This project is creating jobs and safeguarding the Red River Valley from disastrous flooding.

Childcare enables parents go to work and grow our economy while their kids are safe and cared for – but many communities lack access to affordable options. I visited Moorhead to hear from childcare professionals directly – because the best ideas come from those on the ground.

One of our most iconic insects – our state butterfly – is vulnerable and it’s up to us to save it. I was in Fergus Falls to hear about the efforts of Fish and Wildlife workers to tag monarch butterflies, which helps track the health of the species as they migrate south.

The shift to clean power is vital for the health of Minnesotans. Take Fergus Falls for example, where leaders are replacing an old coal plant with a new solar array – a prime example of Bidenomics investing in the health of our kids and our planet.

I was at IndiaFest today to celebrate the culture and contributions of the Indian community in Minnesota. This year’s festival marks the 50th anniversary of the Indian Association of Minnesota. Their work makes Minnesota a better place to call home. Thanks for having me!

Thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Rochester is building a park-and-ride lot for more Minnesotans to take advantage of public transit. Reducing congestion and making it easier to get to work will make a real impact on working families. That’s Bidenomics.

Every farmer needs a seat at the table when we’re discussing the Farm Bill. Today, Jack Hedin of Featherstone Farms in Rushford chatted with me about how specialty crop farmers should be included in this year’s Farm Bill.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure law is expanding high-speed internet throughout Fillmore County. Everybody should have access to broadband, and we’re one step closer to making that a reality.

Tribes always need a seat at the table, including for nutrition programs. I’m going to keep pushing for a Native Farm Bill.

With the Farm Bill’s 2023 reauthorization on the horizon this fall, a Senate Committee on Indian Affairs hearing this week revealed that tribal governments primarily want to govern themselves.

The body cam footage released yesterday is deeply unsettling. Ricky Cobb’s loved ones deserve answers on exactly what happened — answers that can only come from a thorough, transparent investigation.
