I am honored to be recognized by Housing First Minnesota with the 2026 Housing Leadership Award.

"A landmark achievement was the passage of legislation preventing local governments from mandating the creation of unnecessary homeowners associations (HOAs) as a condition of new residential development. By ending this unnecessary local mandate, lawmakers helped reduce long-term costs for future homeowners while supporting a more flexible and affordable housing market."

Please join Senator Andrew Lang, Representative Scott Van Binsbergen, and I for a Legislative Town Hall tomorrow morning. The event is free to attend with an RSVP; please RSVP at [email protected].

These conversations matter because good policy starts with listening. Minnesotans deserve transparency, accountability, and leaders who are willing to show up, answer the tough questions, and keep working toward practical solutions that actually improve the lives of Minnesotans.

We hope to see you there!⭐️

What a year! I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to serve the people of District 16B and to bring home real, meaningful results that put Minnesota families first. 🇺🇸

This year we got to work on the things that matter most: cutting wasteful spending, strengthening protections for workers, expanding access to care, improving safety standards, and standing firm on constitutional rights.

At the end of the day, it’s about making sure government actually listens and delivers.

But the best part of this job will always be you. The conversations at kitchen tables, in shop aisles, on farms, and at community events with parents, seniors, farmers, small business owners, and workers who keep our communities moving forward.

Thank you for the trust you place in me every day. I’ll keep showing up, speaking up, and fighting to make sure your voice is heard in St. Paul. 📢

We’re working through the weekend at the Capitol to get the job done and pass the final pieces we can agree on: supporting our rural hospitals, fighting for school safety funding, and lowering tab fees for Minnesota families.

As much as I’d love to be back home in Sunburg this weekend for Syttende Mai and to see everyone at the parade, the work happening here is just too important to walk away from.

We’re pushing hard to finish on time and deliver for Greater Minnesota! 🚜🇺🇸

National Police Week is incredibly personal for those who have worn the badge.

This week, we honor the heroes who never made it home, the families who carry that loss each and every day, and the officers who still put on the uniform and answer the call to serve others.

I was proud to attend this year’s Peace Officers Memorial event recognizing the brave men and women we have lost in the line of duty. Their courage, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten.

We remember them. We honor them. And we continue to stand beside the law enforcement community across Minnesota and our country. 💙
