In Minnesota, we’re ensuring our students are fed so they can focus on getting a quality education.

Free breakfast and lunch is an investment I will defend all day.

Minnesota continues to outpace the nation on job growth.
 
Headed into 2024, we’re still finding new ways to bring more Minnesotans into the labor market, grow our economy, and help businesses and workers thrive.

This year we passed the largest public safety budget in state history, including $300 million for local public safety officials to use for their most pressing needs. Next week, that money will be sent out to local governments across the state.

Starting January 1, Minnesota will prohibit employers from asking about or considering a job applicant’s past or current pay during the hiring process.
 
It’s simple – everyone deserves to be paid based on their skills and qualifications. We're making that happen in Minnesota.

Next week, $300 million in public safety funding will go out to cities and counties and allow local officials to invest in the things that matter most to their communities – whether that’s a new ambulance, fire and rescue equipment, or resources for law enforcement.

Say hello to Honey! The newest member of the Walz family. 
 
She’s a rescue-pet and already has a few favorite spots: under the tree and right on top of whatever I'm trying to read.

Doesn’t matter if it’s voting, filling out the census, or picking a new flag. Minnesotans are as civically engaged as it gets.
 
Proud of the way we came together to debate state flag designs – the good, the bad, and everything in between.

In the next year alone, we’re building over 4,700 affordable housing units across the state.
 
We’re positioning Minnesota as a leading destination for workers in the United States – and our historic $1.3 billion investment in housing is a big part of that.

Minnesotans can’t control whether they wake up with a fever or experience an injury that keeps them from work. That’s why starting January 1, all Minnesotans will be guaranteed Earned Sick and Safe Time to care for themselves when they need it.

Earned Sick and Safe Time is an important step our administration is taking to make life easier for our state’s workforce.
 
This new year, every Minnesotan will earn paid time away when they need it.

Talented young people have a lot of options – helping more young people become homeowners is one way we help them decide Minnesota is the place they want to live and work.

NEW: With the money we put into housing last legislative session, we’re starting construction on over 4,700 housing units in the next year *alone*.
 
That’s good news for thousands of workers, families, seniors, and the future of our state.
