Minnesota is one of the best states to raise a family, and Senate DFLers are working to make sure that building and raising a family is affordable and accessible for everyone. For families who experience infertility, lack of insurance coverage means having to take on a second job, seek care outside of the U.S., and delay building their family. Last week, I hosted a roundtable conversation with people who’ve experienced infertility as well as some healthcare providers who treat people with infertility. I’m proud to be a co-author on the MN Building Families Act, a bill to require health insurance companies to cover treatment of infertility, and am grateful it’s included in our Health & Human Services bill.

But I thought cutting property taxes is a priority of theirs! Guess not.

“The Audacity of Taupe,” Tax Committee

The Rochester School Board asked us to help make this change, and we delivered.

It’s unfair that a candidate in one alley could lose with more votes than a winning candidate in another alley. It encourages people to ‘choose an opponent’ to run against rather than choose our kids to run for.

Glad to help pass this important change for our kids.

The change would eliminate the numbered seats and make it a pure at-large system.

The House DFL Rochester delegation joined over 220 state legislators from 27 states in signing a national statement calling for immediate constitutional action in response to the ongoing war with Iran and unlawful actions taken by President Donald Trump.

The letter demands that Members of the Cabinet and Vice President Vance invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office, and second, that Congress enforce its constitutional war powers.
