There was a time in our nation’s history when we built big things, like I-90 right here in southern Minnesota. Back then, we taxed the wealthy and invested in infrastructure and small towns. We can do it again when we make billionaires and big corporations pay their fair share.

Ban members of Congress from buying and selling stocks. Impose term limits so we don’t have lifetime politicians sucking us dry. It was great to share how we can take on corruption in Washington with folks in Austin last weekend.
BIG NEWS! Our petition to get on the ballot has gathered over 4,000 signatures, beating our original goal by over 1,000.
It was great being on KAAL last week to share how I’ll work with Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike to bring down costs here in southern Minnesota. I’m not interested in playing party politics, I’m focused on solving real problems.
Inflation just skyrocketed again because of the Iran War and its impact on energy prices. If I were in Congress, I would vote to end this war so we can bring the cost of gas, diesel, fertilizer, and everyday goods down here in southern Minnesota.
Habitat for Humanity was a lifeline for my family, building my mom a house that she still lives in to this day. I was happy to help pay it back yesterday and work on a new home for a family in Mankato. Thank you to the volunteers that turned out to help our neighbors!
I was happy to see the Minnesota Farm Bureau win an award recently for its great new partnership that gives medical students hands-on experience in our rural communities. It's a great program and exactly the kind of investment that we need to increase access to healthcare in southern Minnesota.
Happy National Agriculture Day! Our farmers work so hard for us, and deserve someone in Congress who will work hard for them.
Minnesota had more farm bankruptcies than any other state during the first three months of this year. Things were already tough for our farmers, and now reckless tariffs and the Iran War are making it worse. It's time we send someone to Congress who will fight for our farmers, not against them.
Speaker Johnson really wondered how we expect the millionaires in Congress to live off only $174k without a little stock trading. That's why I pledge to dedicate time in Congress to teaching the 98% of Congress that isn’t from the working class about how to make ends meet, no insider trading needed.
Just finished my 20th year in the classroom and it's a bittersweet moment. Looking forward to all the great things our students will go on to accomplish, and I'm also excited to spend the summer holding town halls and sharing how we're going to make life cheaper and easier for our working families.

Proud to share our second TV ad! My mom’s battle is a story far too many families can relate to. No one should have to lose the care they need because they can’t afford insurance. I’m fighting for Medicare for All. If you’re ready to support that vision, I’d be honored to have your vote on June 2.
