The time to take action to prevent gun violence is now.

"Students are done begging lawmakers to care about our safety. More than 7,000 people signed this petition in just one week because Minnesotans are demanding action on gun violence, not excuses and delays. Students across Minnesota are watching, organizing, and ready to hold them accountable if they

Fighting to save our natural environment and to take on climate change is critical. Unfortunately, the folks on the other side of the aisle do not share this priority, so this year, our climate and energy bill failed to move forward.

In 2019 we passed stronger penalties for wage theft in minnesota. Now that law is getting to work. MN workers lose an estimated $12 million in wages each year. This is stolen money and reduced tax revenue meaning you foot the bill. By holding bad actors accountable we are putting hard earned wages back into the hands of workers!

Two construction subcontractors agreed to pay $1.28 million in back wages and damages to 26 workers to settle the largest wage theft case ever brought by the Minnesota Department of Labor of Industry. The settlements come years after state labor investigators began looking into the allegations of wa...

We are getting to the point of session where the rubber needs to hit the road. There is a lot we need to and can accomplish, like school safety. Read about it here.

We are in the last month of session and there are a lot of things I wish were accomplished by now. We have bills ready to reduce gun violence, save HCMC, increase housing affordability, and so much more. Unfortunately, it is difficult coming to agreements on these critical issues when you have folks...

We refuse to let international mining companies and the most corrupt administration in history sell out our most critical natural environment. Shame on GOP Legislators for betraying their state, we won't forget. We also won't back down, Minnesota is for Minnesotans, not corporate mining exploitation. We will save the Boundary Waters!

Paid Family and Medical Leave has been a huge success because it puts control into the hands of Minnesotans to care for their life as they see fit. The program is also making needed updates and providing critical support to businesses to make sure that these first few months have gone as smoothly as possible.

When starting ambitious new programs like this, it's important that we learn from the past and quickly adjust to the needs of employees and employers alike.

The state has had more applicants than expected while businesses find new ways to backfill for workers.

I'm committed to finding a solution to make sure HCMC can continue to operate. Read about it here:

Last week, the legislature was on Easter/Passover break. I used this opportunity to catch up with constituents, attend community events, and prepare for the final stretch of session. As we approach the end of session I am working hard with my colleagues to make sure that legislation that must pass c...
