It's been my great honor to represent the 7th. The district deserves a tough, independent voice that will always work cooperatively to make life for folks in Western Minnesota better. That's what I've always done and I hope you'll vote for me today to keep doing it.

There is no stronger voice for rural Minnesota than @collinpeterson. He works for the best interests of the communities he represents and puts people before partisanship. Collin works hard, finds common ground, and gets the job done. #MN07 #voteDFL

Thanks for leading this issue from the farm. Minnesota should be able to manage gray wolf populations at the state level. We can absolutely balance the needs of animal agriculture and wildlife conservation.
@MNFarmersUnion joined other ag groups today in sending a letter to Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McCarthy urging them to take up H.R. 424, the Gray Wolf State Management Act before the end of the year. thx @collinpeterson for leadership on this issue.

The tariff war is taking a toll on Minnesota manufacturers and farmers, and that puts our economy at risk. I'm working to help businesses in the 7th to adjust and recover in the face of adversity abroad. https://t.co/60yMlUnHZG

As too many on the Left and Right move further into their partisan corners, I'm proud to work from the middle to save taxpayer money, cut regulation and return common sense to D.C. It means choosing Minnesota over messaging and I'll keep doing it every day as your congressman.

As a founder of the conservative Blue Dogs, I know how important it is to be careful with taxpayer money. The answer is smaller, smarter government, and I've spent my career designing efficient, fiscally responsible programs that deliver for Minnesotans. https://t.co/Sv70o7nt6r

FSA has announced that nearly 1000 farmers awaiting changes will get their CRP payments. It's an example of the importance of having a representative who understands farming. USDA and I work great together and I'm happy Minn. FSA responded so quickly. https://t.co/o2JXFAkpoE

From building Arctic Cats in TRF to expanding access to state forests, outdoor recreation is an economic powerhouse. It creates 140,000 jobs, $4.5 billion in wages and $17 billion in revenue for Minnesota. As a proud sportsman, I'll work to grow this thriving part of our economy.

Great to see this project succeed! North Star Trail Alliance raised this issue, and we were able to get DNR and FWS to see the benefits of the land swap. This is a part of my job that I love--bringing results the projects that advance our quality of life. https://t.co/fwxWlEd8br

Happy to work to clear the red tape for livestock haulers in Minnesota and nationwide.
Thanks @collinpeterson, @RepTedYoho, and @RogerMarshallMD for leading the letter of support for NCBA's Hours of Service petition! Nearly 60 signatures from a bipartisan group shows that Congress understands why livestock haulers need more flexibility.

Manufacturing creates jobs across the 7th, and Textron employs hundreds of Minnesotans in Thief River Falls. My friend on the Ag Committee Rep. Roger Marshall of Kansas, Sen. Klobuchar and I visited the TRF Arctic Cat plant to see their snowmobiles, ATVs and side-by-sides.
