Minnesota, I have some pressing and urgent news… It’s Opening Day of the State Fair!

UMN will be using $50 million in federal funding to create a technical assistance center where underserved communities across the region can get help applying for clean energy and environmental programs. It'll make a real difference in communities left behind.

Many communities have energy and environmental challenges, and federal programs to help can be complicated. As we implement the biggest clean energy and environmental justice law in history, one of my top priorities is helping Minnesotans cut through red tape and get access.

The Highway 610 Extension Project is more than just concrete and asphalt. It will create 500 new jobs and ease commutes between major employment centers. It’ll make working families’ lives a bit easier – and we just secured the last piece of funding needed to finish the job.

In June, I held a hearing to discuss housing issues in Indian Country, and we discussed the importance of Tribes finding solutions that work for their unique communities. Kudos to Lower Sioux for their ingenuity!

Lower Sioux Indian Community is addressing their housing shortage with a unique building material —“hempcrete.” Hempcrete, made from hemp plants, is energy efficient andresistant to things like fire, mold and pests. It’s a perfect example of innovation in housing.

We need a Native Farm Bill, and the best ideas come from those closest to the issues. Hearing stories and perspectives from producers like David and Patra Wise is critical for me to advocate for them back in Washington.

We have a severe housing shortage in Minnesota and across the country. Duluth is working to fix that in their community with innovative solutions. I visited Fairmont Cottage Village today, which will provide more affordable housing for the residents of Duluth.

Everybody deserves high quality health care, but rural areas struggle with recruiting and retaining staff. I met with leaders from Wilderness Health to talk about funding I secured to change that by training workers in high need fields like nursing.

Over half of rural Minnesota counties lack hospital-based maternity care. I passed my bipartisan Rural MOMS Act to get rural providers the resources they need. This will help hospitals like the one I visited in Bemidji improve access and quality of maternity care.

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.

Tina Smith@smith.senate.govAug 17(source)

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.

U.S. Senator Tina Smith Introduces Legislation to Examine History of Racially Restrictive Covenants ...

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.

This is bullshit. Again. No judge has ANY business making decisions for women whose lives and stories they’ll never know.

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.
