I was shocked and saddened by the tragic Lake Pepin boating accident and the loss of three lives, including two members of the Wabasha Fire Department.

Local governments in Minnesota have been signing NDAs with companies that want to build data centers, allowing local officials to keep information secret from the taxpayers.

We are working on a bipartisan bill to stop this practice.

Gun free zones do not stop bad guys. For most of us this is common sense, but liberals continue to buried their heads in the sand. Law-abiding people follow the rules and disarm themselves, but the people who are intent on causing harm don't care.

Democrats forcing working, law-abiding people to pay for people who refuse to work. It's time for this behavior to end!

Democrats are the party of lawlessness.

Minnesota Senate Democrats brought a bill to committee that spends $100 million of taxpayer money to pay the cities and counties that encouraged the violent protests over the past 2 months, supposedly for the purpose of reimbursing them for the costs that they substantially brought unto themselves. Minnesota Democrats are fiduciarily inept!
