I heard from many neighbors about the skyrocketing cost of gas and groceries. We deserve better.

Even with temps in the high 90s and dew points in the mid 70s, the Carver County DFL showed up to knock on doors and have great conversations with our neighbors on what matters most to them.

With 100 days to go, it was fantastic to see Ben Schierer, Dan Kessler, and all the excited volunteers at the @swmetrodems.bsky.social office in Chaska. #Chaska #CarverCounty #100days #Election2026 #mnleg

The second memorable moment happened when I was shaking a person's hand and they said, "I voted for you.". I was deeply honored to earn their vote and words couldn't express my feelings. I hope the sincerity with which I said "Thank you!" did. Thank you for voting. Thank you for voting for me.

I will be the elected official who works day and night to bridge the gap between the parties and build coalitions to solve the problems that matter the most to our neighbors.

So after we shook hands, he stood up and gave me a HUGE hug. It was a special moment for me, I hope it was the same for him. To realize that no matter how far apart some want to divide us, we are there for each other. We can disagree with radical hospitality and we can be kind to each other.

A couple of memorable moments from the parade. First, while shaking hands during the parade, I offered my hand to a guy who said he was a Republican. I said I will shake hands with everyone. Then I followed that up with "Heck, I will give you hug."

I had a great time at the Chaska River City Days parade this evening with the SW Metro SD 48 DFL. Huge thanks to Elise Boll, her daughters, and Andie for wearing their campaign shirts and walking in the parade. The orange shirts POP and are SO soft! Let us know if you want one.

The residents of Brandondale, and all manufactured home communities, deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and fairness. #Chaska #CarverCounty #MNLeg #AffordableHousing #CommunityFirst #DignityAndRespect

It was inspiring to see our Brandondale neighbors standing together last night. When I am in St. Paul, I won't just vote for the Manufactured Home Park Residents’ Bill of Rights, I will be a champion for it.

If my friend’s parents faced the kind of crushing rent increases happening in Brandondale, they would be homeless. Everyone has inherent dignity and worth. Havenpark Communities is draining that dignity right out of Chaska, Carver County, and Minnesota.

This issue hits close to home for me. My best friend in high school grew up in a manufactured home community, and his parents still live there today. Two of my sisters and a brother lived in them, too.

Worse yet, the residents said Havenpark is letting the neighborhood crumble. They said they are dealing with hazardous, dying trees and gross sewer backups.

They have hiked lot rents so high and so fast that families have been forced out of their homes. Those who stay are struggling just to keep up. Manufactured housing is one of the critical sources of affordable housing in our community. Squeezing residents like this is wrong.

Wow. I went to the Brandondale Residents' Association meeting last night, and it was deeply upsetting and troubling. I listened to our neighbors talk about what has happened since an out-of-state private equity company, Havenpark Communities, bought their neighborhood. #mnleg

As we figure out what the new rules mean in practice, let's make sure we're looking out for one another and keeping the conversations constructive and respectful. Through constructive and respectful conversations, we can find a path forward where everyone's voice is heard and everyone feels valued.

With the SC's ruling on Little v. Hecox, we're looking at a different landscape for sports at every level. It’s a complex issue with a lot of strong viewpoints, but regardless of where the law stands, our baseline doesn't change: everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect.

In April, the Senate DFL passed a Health and Human Services budget that included $114 million for hospital stabilization statewide, and another $15 million for rural EMS. When final negotiations began, House Republicans refused to accept that funding. kstp.com/kstp-news/to...

🚗 Leave Pets Home: Never leave pets in parked cars, and keep them off burning pavement. Ensure they have plenty of shade and fresh, cold water indoors. ☀️ Stay Safe: Drink water, limit outdoor work, and find AC at local libraries or community centers.

It is also a day to remember that the work of fulfilling the nation's promise of freedom and equality is a continuous journey. It is important for people to continue forward on the long road toward dignity, justice, and liberty for all.

Today, June 19 is a day to celebrate the end of institutional slavery in the United States. Juneteenth is a day to celebrate the liberation as well as honor the resilience of those who persisted to ensure the end of slavery.

Those days taught me the value of waking up early to accomplish things before most people are awake. It also taught me the value and satisfaction of hard work. Those are the values I bring with me to this campaign and I will bring to the state capitol in St. Paul.

Sundays, with the comics and the ads, were always the largest and sometimes I would have to split my route into two parts. The most memorable morning was waking up extra early to deliver the paper during a snowstorm. Then riding to 8th grade basketball practice before school.

Growing up in a small town, my first job was delivering newspapers. I would get up before 6am every morning, organize the papers into the newspaper delivery satchel, and ride my bike around town to deliver them.

Another fantastic weekend of door knocking, meeting neighbors, and talking with them about the issues that matter most. They are tired of the political games. I'm an authentic outsider who will lead with integrity and speak with an independent voice. #CarverCounty #Waconia #Chaska

Inflation at 4.2%. Core inflation - inflation on everything besides the things that are volatile - increasing at a rapid rate. Trump says he loves that we are paying more for everything. Are we great yet? open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

In addition, many of the deaths could be prevented by responsible gun owners safely storing their gun in a locked gun cabinet or safe. If those aren't available, using a trigger lock. Our kids deserve better.

Many of the deaths could be prevented by teaching children how to respectfully and responsibly disagree with someone and how to respectfully and responsibly treat firearms.
