That's why I joined the Senate Finance Committee. To fight for reforms that tangibly benefit workers, rather than the mythical promises of trickle down that never seem to materialize.
Americans didn't vote for more tax breaks for billionaires. They voted because their lives cost too much. We see time and time again that the 2017 Trump tax law benefitted those at the very top while leaving working families with little benefit.
I'm grateful for the opportunity and I look forward to using my voice on this Committee to continue fighting for all of Minnesota – families, small businesses, farmers, rural parts – so that everyone can build the life they want.
Parts of the 2017 tax law are set to expire. Re-writing them will be one of the biggest fights, and it starts in the Finance Committee. We need a better tax code for American workers (who were forced to foot the bill for big corporate giveaways for the ultra-wealthy last time).
I’m joining the Senate Finance Committee. I’m excited to continue standing up for Minnesotans and the issues we care about. This new post presents a unique opportunity to protect Medicare + Social Security, expand mental health access, and write a fairer tax code.
Tragic news out of New Orleans about this terrible act of terrorism against innocent people simply out to celebrate New Year’s Eve. We are all thinking about New Orleans today.
Happy New Year, Minnesota! We have a big year ahead of us, but Archie and I hope you can take some time to reflect and celebrate the New Year with your loved ones 🎉
Jimmy Carter personified moral leadership for our country and the world. I was blessed to meet him several times. My favorite moment (when this pic was taken), he had just finished an energetic conversation w/ Archie about the virtues of fly fishing. May his memory be a blessing.

I’m so sad to hear we have lost MN State Senator Kari Dziedzic to cancer, gone too soon at 62. Kari was a friend and ally for 20 years, dating back to our staff days when I worked for Mayor Rybak at City Hall and she worked for the County Board.
Minnesota lost a fierce fighter for the North Country with the passing of Mary Murphy. Mary was the longest serving woman in the MN legislature, serving for 46 years. I counted her a friend & advisor for many years, with her strong opinions, curly white hair and tomato red coat. We will miss her.

Happy Hanukkah, Minnesota! Wishing everyone celebrating the festival of lights a wonderful eight days filled with loved ones, latkes and joy.
Archie and I are wishing everyone in Minnesota and across the country a Merry Christmas! Hope everyone can have a wonderful and peaceful day with your loved ones 🎄
Trump figured out that taking away people’s abortion rights is DEEPLY unpopular, so he said a whole bunch of things to walk back his stances, including on Comstock. Do I trust him? No. Am I going to do everything I can to hold him + Republicans accountable? Absolutely.
Clean energy tech has come a long way in the last 5-10 years. Example: This project will quickly pay for itself and continue saving money for a local business every year after – all while cutting emissions. 2 birds. 1 stone.
Everyone should be able to retire with dignity. For years, 21,000 Minnesota firefighters, teachers, postal workers + police officers have faced Social Security cuts because of outdated laws. Last night, we fixed that. Proud to support the Social Security Fairness Act.
I don’t think American voters sent everybody to Congress for this kind of nonsense. I think they expected us to get our damn jobs done. This is not what the election was about.
