The Blatnik Bridge between Duluth and Superior has reached the end of its useful life after serving us for 65 years. By 2030, it will have been deemed unsafe and decommissioned. But the bridge is the linchpin that connects the bustling, proud cities that make up the Twin Ports.

New Blatnik Bridge design 👀
Six months ago he told us the Iran War would only last a few weeks
Renaming Lake Ontario is nothing more than the President throwing a temper tantrum that his trade wars are tanking the economy and pissing off Americans
Again, not a betting woman. But I’d bet if you handed Trump a map of all Great Lakes and asked him point and name them he couldn’t.
The Annunciation School community is strong and brave. Over the last year they have shown us how to meet darkness with hope and light.
The heartbreaking loss of Fletcher and Harper, the children injured and traumatized by this violence, and the strength and compassion of all the teachers, administrators, friends and family who stepped into the breach.
Tomorrow is the grand opening of the Minnesota State Fair, and it also marks 365 days since the lives of Annunciation School families were irrevocably broken by gun violence. I think about the Annunciation School community all the time.
Thank you to Northfield Hospital and Clinics for taking the time to talk with me today!
The staff at Northfield Hospital and Clinics are stepping up to care for their community, and it’s our job to make sure they can continue offering that quality care.
When we cut health care funding, rural hospitals are often the first ones forced to cut services, like labor and delivery, just to keep the general hospital doors open.
That’s why facilities like Northfield Hospital are so critical to filling that gap. Just this year, the Northfield Hospital expects to help deliver more than 800 babies.
Small towns and rural communities are seeing a troubling trend of labor and delivery services being cut at rural hospitals. It means when expecting mothers go into labor, they have to drive farther to get the care they need, which can be dangerous for both baby and mom.
Thanks to the farmers and producers at Sharing our Roots for the tour!
Growers then harvest and sell at farmers markets or seasonal stands in the region. Fostering this kind of talent is how we begin to build a pipeline of growers prepared to take over as the next generation of farmers.
Thankfully, organizations like Sharing Our Roots are trying to change that. Sharing Our Roots is a community farm in Northfield where growers and producers can rent small plots of land to grow their crops.
The average age of America’s farmer is nearing 60 years old, yet our young farmers tasked with taking over are being boxed out from starting their own operations. How can they be expected to compete with corporate investors buying land?
Dolly Parton performs at the Minnesota State Fair (1993) ❤️🕊️
On these Canada tariffs: Trump’s trying more of the same failed policy and he knows it. The trade war will inevitably just drive up prices on everyone while alienating one of our closest trading partners.
So great to be in Little Falls, an amazing community in central Minnesota that’s using federal programs to help their small businesses update historic buildings to meet their needs while protecting the history of the town.
Thank you for taking the time to show me around!
