Happy New Year, Minnesota! We have a big year ahead of us, but Archie and I hope you can take some time to reflect and celebrate the New Year with your loved ones 🎉
Jimmy Carter personified moral leadership for our country and the world. I was blessed to meet him several times. My favorite moment (when this pic was taken), he had just finished an energetic conversation w/ Archie about the virtues of fly fishing. May his memory be a blessing.

I’m so sad to hear we have lost MN State Senator Kari Dziedzic to cancer, gone too soon at 62. Kari was a friend and ally for 20 years, dating back to our staff days when I worked for Mayor Rybak at City Hall and she worked for the County Board.
Minnesota lost a fierce fighter for the North Country with the passing of Mary Murphy. Mary was the longest serving woman in the MN legislature, serving for 46 years. I counted her a friend & advisor for many years, with her strong opinions, curly white hair and tomato red coat. We will miss her.

Happy Hanukkah, Minnesota! Wishing everyone celebrating the festival of lights a wonderful eight days filled with loved ones, latkes and joy.
Archie and I are wishing everyone in Minnesota and across the country a Merry Christmas! Hope everyone can have a wonderful and peaceful day with your loved ones 🎄
Trump figured out that taking away people’s abortion rights is DEEPLY unpopular, so he said a whole bunch of things to walk back his stances, including on Comstock. Do I trust him? No. Am I going to do everything I can to hold him + Republicans accountable? Absolutely.
Clean energy tech has come a long way in the last 5-10 years. Example: This project will quickly pay for itself and continue saving money for a local business every year after – all while cutting emissions. 2 birds. 1 stone.
Everyone should be able to retire with dignity. For years, 21,000 Minnesota firefighters, teachers, postal workers + police officers have faced Social Security cuts because of outdated laws. Last night, we fixed that. Proud to support the Social Security Fairness Act.
I don’t think American voters sent everybody to Congress for this kind of nonsense. I think they expected us to get our damn jobs done. This is not what the election was about.
Two Minnesotans in Ag Committee Leadership across both chambers of Congress. Incredible. Farmers and ranchers are in good hands with Senator Klobuchar and Rep. Angie Craig!

Internet access isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. But people in rural areas struggle to access high speed broadband. Today, we’re announcing 5,000 more Minnesotans, including farmers and small business owners, will get connected.
Graphic with a map of Minnesota with 5 counties highlighted (Clay, Crow Wing, Morrison, Winona and Fillmore).

Words: 5,000 rural Minnesotans to be connected to high speed internet. Recipients include 139 different businesses and 368 farms across the state.
Remember: today is the last day to enroll in Affordable Care Act benefits through MNsure to make sure you have health coverage starting Jan. 1! But don't worry - open enrollment doesn't end until January 15th.
Hope is an act of will, not an article of faith. Sherrod Brown inspired me and many other Senators to have hope and to fight for working people like the woman I met in Duluth all those years ago. Thank you, my friend with the gravelly voice. Can’t wait to see what you do next.
Big companies like Amazon hold a lot of power. Their productivity metrics and quotas are exploitative and can cause serious injuries to workers.    We need to heed the calls of this report and pass my bipartisan Warehouse Worker Protection Act.
A sweeping congressional investigation into worker safety at Amazon found that the nation’s largest online retailer manipulated data on warehouse worker injuries and disregarded internal research on improving safety.
