- Friends, I am OK. @julieblaha and I were involved in a rollover collision yesterday on the way home from @MNFarmfest. I was told the semi driver's maneuvering saved our lives. I know it could’ve been worse. I am bruised, scratched up, and sore, but thankful to be alive.

- I am mad. Minnesotans are watching us to see if we’ll answer the cries for justice and accountability. Instead of legislating, the Senate GOP is playing Washington-style games instead of doing their jobs, just so they can go home. Shameful. We cannot stand for this. #mnleg
00:00 - After nearly a decade at the Capitol, I’ve made the decision to begin a new chapter. Words can't describe the immense feeling of gratitude I have for my constituents. It has been an honor and privilege to bring your voice to the Minnesota Senate.
- Today, I officially renewed a third term in the Minnesota Senate. I’m grateful for the opportunity to serve. #mnleg
- Let me be clear: We will fight tooth and nail against any attempt to turn back the clock on women’s reproductive health care in Minnesota. #mnlegBREAKING: Republicans have pledged to introduce a Texas-style abortion ban here in Minnesota. If the GOP win in 2022, it's almost certain they'll sign a draconian abortion ban into law. That cannot happen. #mnleg dfl.org/press-release/…
