I am so sad to learn that my respected colleague Senator Anderson has passed away. We served together on the Judiciary and Public Safety Committee for many years. His was a calm, informed and thoughtful voice. His presence in the Senate will be missed.

The late, great Senator Paul Wellstone was born 81 years ago today. There was no greater champion for the needs of Minnesotans, and he is sorely missed. Thinking of him today and always.

Moments ago we passed our DWI reform bill unanimously off the Senate floor. These changes will help prevent something like what happened at the Park Tavern from ever happening again in any community in Minnesota. I look forward to the Governor signing it into law soon.

Great meeting with the Presidents of Chesterton Academy and Benilde-St. Margaret's to discuss private school funding and school needs. Supporting all types of schools is key to ensuring students and educators thrive across Minnesota.

With Paul Bunyan's Axe showing University of Minnesota Gopher football victories over Wisconsin going back as far as our first victory in the first matchup in 1890. UMN has the axe right now because we won in 2024.

Thank you to these constituents for advocating on behalf of Hunger Solutions MN. Ensuring Minnesotans have access to food is more critical than ever, especially with recent federal cuts to our food banks and schools.

It was a pleasure to meet with constituents representing UnRestrict MN to discuss abortion care and reproductive healthcare. It is important to me that we protect access to this lifesaving care and ensure Minnesotans have the freedom to make informed decisions about their health.

It was great to meet with constituents w/ MAPE this week to discuss the challenges facing union workers. Cuts to federal funding threaten unions and their work. I stand with MAPE and all union workers fighting for fair wages, benefits, and workplace protections.
