May is Foster Care Awareness Month, and as it comes to an end, I want to say thank you to all of the families who have answered the call and stepped into gaps to help children and families.

This month, it’s also been exactly 10 years since Ben and I got licensed as foster parents. We have seen some children come and go from our home, reunified with family forever. We have also adopted children who can’t go back to biological families. Each story in foster care is entirely unique. Each story matters deeply.

Children are our future, and every child has inherent worth that we must protect. Foster care is an important way that we support our future in Minnesota, helping kids and families heal and thrive for generations.

It’s official today: I have filed as a candidate for Minnesota House District 26A.

It has been an honor to be Winona County’s voice at the Capitol. These past two years have been about partnership. People and organizations across the county have told me what is important to them, and their input has guided my work.

I’m proud of the critical legislation that we passed.

• Property tax and car tab relief

• Creation of the Inspector General's office

• Funding for roads, bridges, and water infrastructure

• Modernizing county systems to combat fraud

• School safety

At the same time, there is still more to do. My son, River, who took this picture, is a reminder of the work that is yet to be done. We need to ensure that Minnesota is a place where everyone has the chance to thrive with hard work. Where businesses and farmers can compete. A place where the education system is fair to all students. And a place where our communities are safe.

This is what our children deserve, and I am committed to fighting for it at the Capitol.

Thank you for your support.
