I am deeply saddened by the passing of Congressman Jim Hagedorn. He served the district with honor and he will be greatly missed. Janel and I send our condolences to his family and friends as they mourn this loss.
I'm honored to be majority leader of the Minnesota Senate. Thanks to my colleagues for their trust and my family for their support. We will continue working on solutions that are good for Minnesotans. I appreciate all who've reached out with words of encouragement and support.
I experienced one of my most memorable moments as a State Senator when my oldest son’s (Drew) 6th grade class visited the Minnesota State Capitol today! Talk about a proud dad moment that I’ll remember for a lifetime!
I’m bringing world famous Bloedow’s donuts from Winona to the Capitol today to help encourage some good old-fashioned bipartisan cooperation during the last few days of the 2024 legislative session!

Thank you
@BrettFavre
&
@GilbertBrown
for visiting Winona this past weekend! Your message to the Morrie Miller Youth Football athletes about hard work, setting goals & teamwork were inspiring & very much appreciated.
It’s the last day of session and final push to pass a bipartisan sports betting bill that would benefit local charities, horse racing tracks, tribes, problem gambling services, youth sports, and funding to bring major sporting events to Minnesota. Let’s get it done!
#mnleg
It's time to legalize sports betting in Minnesota! The Minnesota Sports Betting Act 2.0 can help get it done...
•Tribes benefit
•Horse racing tracks benefit
•Local charities benefit
•Most importantly, Minnesotans benefit
•It's time to get it done!
It was truly an honor to attend The

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Senator David Tomassoni. David was a wonderful colleague, friend, and mentor not only to me, but to so many around the Capitol. He will truly be missed. Janel and I send our condolences to the Tomassoni family during this difficult time.
New addition to my

office this session. My brother Todd made this American flag from recycled/repurposed wood skids from the scrap yard. Awesome craftsmanship!
Came home late last night to surprise Janel & the boys when they woke up this morning after a very long week of budget talks in St. Paul. I’ll have a few hours of family time & work at the scrap yard before heading back to the Capitol for more budget talks.

While I am looking forward to the opportunity to continue serving as president of the Minnesota Senate during the next legislative session, today I am excited to support my friend and colleague, Senator David Tomassoni, with this honor.
Thank you to the people of Fillmore, Houston, and Winona counties for your continued support! It’s truly an honor to serve you in the Minnesota Senate.

Honored to sign 27 bills that recently passed

before going to the governor, including: Elder Care & Vulnerable Adult Protection Act, a bill to combat the opioid epidemic, increased higher education funding, epinephrine auto-injector bill, & Rare Diseases Advisory Council!
As I reflect on what Father’s Day means to me as a dad, it really comes down to helping my boys be the best they can be. My parents taught me values like hard work, respect, and honesty. These are the same values Janel and I strive to teach our boys.

There is tons of excitement and support for the Minnesota Sports Betting Act. I had back to back to back interviews last week and more scheduled for this week. It’s time to get this done!
I’m hopeful this is the year to pass a bipartisan sports betting bill in Minnesota. I did a few interviews today about the Minnesota Sports Betting Act 2.0 proposal I recently rolled out. It’s time to get it done!
My heart goes out to the victims and their families from last night’s shooting in St. Paul. Demonizing police officers and refusing to prosecute lawlessness is not keeping Minnesotans safe. Let’s ensure public safety officials have the resources needed to protect our communities.
Dinner & movie night (and a quick stop at

And Top Gun: Maverick is absolutely awesome, just awesome!
Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Jeremy Miller went fishing with his boys on Sunday in Winona…and ended up saving a man’s life. It’s a real-life fish tale coming up on 5 Eyewitness News at 5:21 and again at 6.
Extra grateful for the good work of the

Coach Tom Sawyer has walked the sidelines as head coach of the Winona State Warrior football team for 25 years and has been an incredible ambassador for our community every step of the way. We appreciate your friendship and all the memories. Congratulations on your retirement!
Thank you President

Janel and I send our condolences to the family of Jerry Relph. Jerry was a passionate public servant who represented his constituents with honor and integrity. He will be missed.

That’s a wrap from the Capitol! I signed the bipartisan tax bill enrollment, which will be presented to Governor Walz today. Once signed, it provides nearly $1 billion in targeted relief to individuals, frontline workers, and small businesses across the state.

Day 1 of the special session wasn’t so special. It’s time for the House, Senate & Governor (Democrats & Republicans) to move past political posturing and work together on bipartisan solutions. We have a busy week ahead. Let’s get more good things done for the people of MN.

It was great to have Janel & the boys visit the Capitol this week. The boys really enjoyed banging the gavel in the Senate Chamber. Thank you
