MN lost 32K jobs and $700M in wages to Operation Metro Surge. Let that sink in. Trump’s ICE left a mark on our state that we will feel for generations—psychologically, emotionally and economically. It’s time to pass our Make ICE Pay Act and reimburse MN for the damages ICE inflicted on our economy.

But our thoughts and prayers aren’t enough. This has to stop. We need to enact common-sense gun reform, and we needed to do it yesterday. How many lost lives is it going to take?

My heart is broken for those impacted by yesterday’s shooting at Silver Rail Elementary. As mothers and grandmothers, Cheryl and I are praying for the families and loved ones of the three children and one teacher who were killed yesterday, as well as the two individuals who were injured.

Inflation shot up to 3.7% in September (a four-month high) and you know it’s bad when even FOX News is calling President Trump’s economy a mess. This presidency is a complete failure. It’s time to change course and make life affordable again.

We’ve seen it time and time again from this administration — lawless government overreach in the name of political retribution. This is beyond the pale, even for them. It’s time to stop the attacks on our state and our elected representatives. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home searched by federal agents in criminal probe
The Democratic congresswoman from Minnesota called the search “the latest escalation” in Trump’s “campaign of political intimidation.”

On Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the communities who have called MN home for centuries and recognize their resilience as they faced unthinkable injustice. Their contributions and rich culture continue to shape our nation to this day. Today and every day, I stand with MN Tribal communities.

My wife Cheryl and I couldn’t be prouder to be a part of the LGBTQ+ community as we celebrate National Coming Out Day. I will always work to make sure every Minnesotan has the freedom to be who they are and love who they love. 🏳️‍🌈🌈

Proud to have earned an “A” grade on Defend the Vote’s 2026 legislative scorecard! I’ll always support legislation to crack down on corruption, protect Minnesotans’ access to the ballot box and clean up Washington.

Keeping Minnesotans safe means investing in coordinated counterterrorism and violent crime prevention efforts, and I will continue working to give law enforcement the resources they need to do just that.

I am grateful to law enforcement for stopping the planned terror attack at the Mall of America. Their quick work and vigilance saved countless lives.

Today marks three years since Hamas targeted Israeli civilians in the horrific October 7th attacks. As we remember the more than 1,200 lives lost and the countless lives changed forever that day, we must commit to fighting antisemitism and hatred and continue working toward peace in the Middle East.

October is LGBTQ+ history month, a chance for us to celebrate the brave folks who have stood up and fought for equal rights, protections and acceptance for our community. We’ve come a long way in this fight, but there’s still more work to do.

Cheryl and I are keeping the students, teachers and families impacted by last night’s shooting in Eden Prairie in our prayers today. No homecoming celebration should end with gun violence. We’ve got to do better for our kids and pass common sense gun control in this country.

Another disappointing jobs report. Unemployment ticked up to 4.2%, job growth slowed (again) and Minnesotans are feeling it. President Trump promised a Golden Age — yet opportunities are dwindling, prices are rising and folks can’t keep up. Minnesotans deserve better.

It’s that time of year! Every fall, I visit Mr. Snobeck’s political science class at Eagan High School to answer questions about our government and share my experience as an elected official. I had a great time today hearing from and speaking to some of Eagan’s best and brightest.

It was an honor to receive the Mayor’s Award from Newport Mayor Laurie Elliott and the Newport City Council today. Serving Minnesota’s Second District is a true honor, and I couldn’t be more grateful for Mayor Elliott’s partnership over the years. Thank you, Mayor Elliott!

Cheryl and I got to visit the top of the Capitol Dome in Washington! It was a hike – literally 300 stairs – but I’d say the view was worth it.

I’m thrilled that the Lynx’s own Cheryl Reeve was named WNBA Coach of the Year (again!) and Olivia Miles was voted WNBA Rookie of the Year! Not only have these two had a record-breaking season – they also led the Lynx to the top seed in the playoffs. Cheryl and Olivia, we couldn’t be prouder of you.

I think we could all use a little Dakota pick-me-up right about now, or should I say... Da-Cow-Ta! What do you think of Dakota’s Halloween costume? My wife Cheryl has always wanted a Highland Cow. Dakota is not very amused.

Rep. Craig Cosponsors Bipartisan Legislation to Reform America’s Immigration System, Hold ICE Accountable

America is a country of immigrants, yet for too long, our broken system has made it too hard for folks who work hard, pay taxes and contribute to our communities to stay here. It’s time to change that.

President Trump’s war in Iran has sent gas prices skyrocketing. It cost me $75 to fill up my Jeep (and it wasn’t even on empty) yesterday – that’s just unacceptable. It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for Minnesota families.

It was great to see former Public Safety Director Pete Koerner yesterday and to present him with a Congressional Record for his 34 years of service to the Cottage Grove Police Department. Pete, your work has made MN a safer place to work, live and raise a family. Thank you for your service.

On Friday, Trump banned CNN, MSNOW and Politico from the White House. This is a blatant breach of the First Amendment and an attack on democracy. Minnesotans deserve independent reporting on the Trump Admin, not censored puff pieces from its allies. As a former journalist, I stand with the press.

I’m proud to announce that my bill with Rep. Jimmy Panetta to crack down on illicit xylazine passed the House last week. This legislation will get illegal drugs off our streets and help law enforcement keep our communities safe. It’s a no-brainer – let’s get this bill passed in the Senate.

Our veterans risked their lives for our freedoms – and it's our job to make sure they’re taken care of when they get home. This week I met with the Minnesota Veterans of Foreign Wars to discuss how Congress can best support Minnesota’s brave heroes.

Republicans sent us home early AGAIN. Why? Because they want to avoid a vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. This is the least effective Congress in history. When we come back in November, I’ll vote to impeach Minnesota’s national embarrassment — Pete Hegseth.

Today, I’m introducing my bill with @repilhan.bsky.social to reimburse states for the financial damages caused by Trump’s ICE. As Minnesotans begin the long process of healing from Metro Surge, it’s important we commit to holding this lawless administration accountable. That starts with this bill.

Today, I voted no on Republicans’ Russian sanctions bill because we need a clean bill that punishes Russia for its illegal operations in Ukraine, not one that hands President Trump even MORE sweeping tariff authority.

Always a treat to see the MN Farm Bureau! We talked about how legislation in DC – like my bill that implements year-round E15 – can make all the difference for Minnesota’s family farmers. We already passed year-round E15 in the House, now let’s get it passed in the Senate and signed into law! 🌽⛽️

Since Trump launched his illegal war in Iran, Minnesotans have spent an additional $1Bon gas – that’s an extra $651 per family. That’s unacceptable. Minnesotans are fed up with having to foot the bill for Trump’s recklessness. It’s time to end this war and bring down costs for hardworking families.

President Trump’s economy is failing. Inflation rose even higher in August, sending diesel prices to a historic all-time high of more than $6 a gallon. That means higher costs for truckers, farmers and working folks. Does this feel like a golden age to you?
