Not surprisingly, protecting children from having AI-generated n**e images of them circulated on the internet was one of the most broadly bipartisan things we did this year in the Minnesota House.

Also not surprisingly, the richest man in the world is trying to overturn this rule and put profits over protecting children’s safety and dignity.

Be sure to check out my summer update and last one until after the election!

I hope you’ve had a wonderful first half of your summer! After a brief post-session recovery period I’ve been out and about in our community enjoying everything Minnesota has to offer.

I fought hard to pass strong anti-fraud measures at the Capitol this year. I will continue to take on fraudsters until we eliminate fraud in Minnesota!

I am honored to be appointed to the new Legislative Inspector General Advisory Commission.

During session, I served as the chief author of the Office of the Inspector General bill that passed with broad bipartisan support to fight fraud. Now, as a member of this commission, I will be responsible for recommending candidates to be the new inspector general and oversee the operations of this new office to make sure it is meeting our anti-fraud goals.

Session came to an end on Monday. It was a busy year which was tricky to navigate due to the tie. And while there are many important things that couldn't get through the tied House, there was a lot of good that was accomplished. Read about it in my end of session update:

Coming into this session it was hard to tell what to expect we could accomplish. All in all I’m happy to say that I was still able to work with my colleagues to bring forward significant wins for our entire state. This includes; saving HCMC, funding for critical infrastructure with a focus on wate...

I’ve been proud to team up with Minnesota Sports and Events in the legislature to bring big events and even bigger economic impact to Minnesota. I can’t wait for them to do their trademark work showing how Minnesota does big events with the NFL Draft!

The 2028 is heading to Minnesota!

The last day of session is always full of thank yous and goodbyes. A big thank you goes out to Bridget, who has interned in my office all session long! She has helped with constituent services and researching bills, and she joined me for many meetings and hearings. I’m grateful for the work she did on behalf of the people of Blaine and Lexington. Wishing her great success at her next internship in D.C. this summer!

It took until past midnight, but we just passed my bipartisan bill to beef up the Medicaid Fraud Control Unit!

I’m glad the budget deal we struck at the Capitol will provide some one-time property tax cuts for Minnesotans. I’m also still working on other legislation to tackle the root causes of these high property taxes and provide a long-term fix.

Lawmakers are proposing a one-time payment of about $171 per home to offset rising property taxes.
