I may have a “funny Minnesota accent,” but make no mistake, I will stand up for truckers and other transporters because they have a critical role in our national security and in the mobility enterprise.

Without dedicated, hardworking American truckers, we would not have access to many of the essential goods we depend on. Glad to meet with MTA to discuss legislation such as the American Workforce Empowerment Act, which expands access to training programs.

Proud to introduce the EPA Accountability to Farm Country Act, which will protect the ag industry from overregulation by requiring the Dept. of Agriculture and farmer stakeholders to review rules and regulations proposed by the U.S. EPA.

As a southern MN pig farmer, NPPC President Lori Stevermer knows firsthand how detrimental Prop 12 is to #MN01 pork producers. That's why I'm working with my House Committee on Agriculture colleagues to include a solution in the upcoming Farm Bill.

Great to meet with members of ADA and dental students to discuss important legislation such as the DOC Access Act, which ensures patients receive fair and transparent pricing when seeking dental and vision healthcare. Thanks for stopping by.

I always say local government is the best form of government. Great to meet with Faribault City officials to strengthen our partnership and make sure cities like Faribault have the necessary resources to continue to meet the needs of our growing southern Minnesota communities.

Did you know every Alumacraft boat sold in the US is manufactured right here in St. Peter? During my visit, I learned about the legacy of the company & discussed the challenges their business is facing such as increased costs due to inflation, as well as workforce shortages.

Woven into our #MN01 community, Faribault Mill has a historic 157 year-long legacy of creating beautiful, American-made wool products. Whether it’s for our homes, West Point cadets, or the U.S. Navy, Faribault Mill is dedicated to making high-quality products that last.

Proud to join Tom Emmer in defending Minnesotans' Second Amendment rights by introducing the Firearm Due Process Protection Act.

Great to visit Gustavus Adolphus College to discuss the importance of the Pell Grant for institutions like Gustavus & learn about the ways they’re partnering with the community to prepare our next generation in the workforce. Thanks to President Bergman & her team for showing me around!

Thanks, GreaterMankatoGrowth for partnering with me on the Prove It Act. It is vital we protect small businesses from egregious one-size-fits-all regulations and support Main Street businesses.

As a 4th generation farmer, I know firsthand that strong farm policy is essential for the survival of our producers and rural communities. Thanks Farm Policy Facts for having me on the Groundwork Podcast to give a Farm Bill update.

Congrats to the men’s and women’s Minnesota State Mankato basketball teams for bringing home NCAA DII national championships!

Wishing everyone in #MN01 a happy Easter Sunday!

Congrats to the @minnstathletics men’s and women’s basketball programs on their historic seasons making it to the NCAA Division II national championship.

Good luck in the championship game and let’s go Mavs!

Great to meet with members of CropLife America and RISE to discuss ways we can incorporate language in the Farm Bill that provides farmers with the tools they need to feed and fuel the world, including defending science-based innovation.

Howard Swenson dedicated his life to his family, community, and the betterment of southern Minnesota. He leaves behind a legacy that will last forever, and it was a true honor to serve alongside him in the MN State House. Howard will be dearly missed. My heartfelt prayers go out…
