I’ve knocked 530 doors and walked 22 miles since Friday. Kamala’s worth every step!

It was great to welcome Stacey Abrams to Minnesota yesterday. She joined Secretary of State Steve Simon and me at the Sabathani Community Center to talk about voting rights, voter protection and the work it takes to make sure every voice is heard.

I’m optimistic about democracy in Minnesota despite the real threats and challenges coming from Washington, DC. Minnesota has successfully pushed back against federal overreach before, and we’ll do it again.

On Memorial Day, we honor those Americans who gave what Abraham Lincoln called “the last full measure of devotion” for our country. We owe our survival and success as a nation to their sacrifice.

Minnesota is #1 !!! 🏅 We’re the best in America, according to new rankings from the respected & non-partisan “Election Performance Index” at MIT, measuring states’ elections based on factors like polling place wait times, voter turnout, and post-election audits.

🚨@MNSteveSimon, Minnesota Secretary of State, speaks on high voter turnout in Minnesota: “I think it boils down to two main things — good laws and a good pro-voter culture in Minnesota. As for the laws, we’re all looking for the same thing, which is the perfect balance between access and security.”

The President’s latest executive order on elections is an unconstitutional power grab that will end up like the rest: It will not stand. Only states and Congress may regulate federal elections, not a President waiving a magic wand in the Oval Office.

Springsteen is cool, but @MNSteveSimon spent the day in Duluth with an equally raucous No Kings crowd. Resistance exists everywhere, especially in Greater MN!

This is the most dangerous kind of “cancel culture” for any democracy. The Chair of the FCC is publicly suggesting he might revoke broadcast licenses for “legacy media” outlets whose news coverage he (or the President) doesn’t like. A real threat to free speech.
Broadcasters that are running hoaxes and news distortions - also known as the fake news - have a chance now to correct course before their license renewals come up. The law is clear. Broadcasters must operate in the public interest, and they will lose their licenses if they do not. And frankly, changing course is in their own business interests since trust in legacy media has now fallen to an all time low of just 9% and are ratings disasters. The American people have subsidized broadcasters to the tune of billions of dollars by providing free access to the nation’s airwaves. It is very important to bring trust back into media, which has earned itself the label of fake news. When a political candidate is able to win a landslide election victory after in the face of hoaxes and distortions, there is something very wrong. It means the public has lost faith and confidence in the media. And we can’t allow that to happen. Time for change!

Steve got the only standing ovation of the day in Nicollet County and boy was it deserved. Great swing through Southern MN and Lakeville!

We are proud to endorse @MNSteveSimon for Secretary of State. Minnesota has some of the highest voter participation in the country and Secretary Simon is a big reason why. He works to make sure every eligible voter has the opportunity to easily cast their vote. #Labor2026

Idaho — a deeply Republican state — has become the latest to refuse the Trump Justice Department’s demand for unredacted statewide voter rolls. democracydocket.com/news-ale…
