Today, I am voting YES on the #PROAct because I trust Minnesotans to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions. It's time we protect this right in state law! #mnleg #reproductivefreedom

"Legislating is a set of choices. You can either choose to continue wandering down a seemingly futile path of trying to extract concessions from the Majority that are beyond your leverage, or you can choose to provide your constituents with the benefits they deserve and need"

This is exactly why we need to invest in preparing our future workforce for careers in tech. I’m proud of the legislature for securing $3 million for my legislation in competitive grant funding for robotics & STEM programs across the state! #mnleg #STEM

Coming from a family of strong women, I am immensely proud to support SF 37 and HF 197! Everyone deserves equal rights and protections, and now, Minnesota voters will have the power to amend our constitution to provide equality under the law. #mnleg #ERA

This is absolutely what's happening. Convened 10am Tue & adjourned almost 6am Wed. 20hrs, for only 4 bills. None 100% party lines, so not "partisan." Yet, Repubs talked hours upon hours to slow progress. @SenateDFL, by contrast, are here to work...even if it takes all night.🌙

While you were sleeping.. Senate passed historic boost in state aid to Minnesota schools. One Republican joined 34 Democrats in support. It passed the House Tuesday afternoon so it’s now on its way to the governor’s desk.

The overwhelming majority of Minnesotans support universal background checks and a red flag law. After years of gridlock, we're finally taking action to reduce gun violence in our state.

Red flag law and expanded background checks will make the state safer.

Another new bison calf made Mother’s Day even more special for Dakota County’s herd. The bison herd, which was made possible through grant funding, has now grown from eight to 11.

Today, I signed into law $1 billion for housing – the largest single housing investment in state history. From rental assistance to ensuring homeownership is an option, this is a generational investment to grow our workforce and make Minnesota the best state to raise a family.

Conference committees are now meeting and considering all the various provisions in their bills. Approving matching policies and agreeing on new language for policies that don't quite match. In the next week, we should start seeing some finalized "conference committee reports."
