I had the opportunity to meet with student presidents and leaders from MSU Moorhead, Bemidji State, Metro State, Winona State, MSU Mankato, Southwest Minnesota State University, and St. Cloud State who were in DC to advocate on behalf of our state universities.
Thanks to these outstanding students for their leadership.

In Minnesota, we’ve seen the disruption caused by cyberattacks – impacting our national and economic security. That’s why I’m working to increase our cyber defenses with Metro State University, Neighborhood Development Center & others. We need more federal efforts to support workforce and community assistance to prevent cyberattacks before they happen. twincities.com/2025/11/26/ot…
