Minnesotans, we’ve been through a lot.
And I believe this moment calls for grit, resilience, and faith in each other.
I believe we must stand up for what’s right. And fix what’s wrong.
Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for Governor.

The Kennedy Center is for the people.
Another important win in the courts.

The President might be the only American who “loves inflation.” Everybody else is sick and tired of it.

After Julie Paidar lost her husband, firefighter Mike Paidar, to a service-related cancer, she became a tireless advocate for families like hers
We worked together to pass the bipartisan Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act to ensure firefighters and families facing service-related cancers receive the support they deserve.

Minnesotans: tomorrow every one of our state parks is free. Get out and enjoy one of our 64 beautiful parks — they're some of my favorite places to visit.
I took this photo years ago of a Lady's Slipper in full bloom at Itasca State Park. 🌸

This is how fragile rural internet is: one small company fails, and families and businesses across 5,000 square miles go dark. 120,000 Minnesota households still lack reliable broadband. My Last Mile Initiative will connect every Minnesotan with broadband they can count on.

I am honored to earn the endorsement of the Minnesota Professional Fire Fighters Association.
Today I joined President Scott Vadnais and Minnesota firefighters in Minneapolis to highlight the need to support our first responders who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

The New World screwworm is a serious threat to livestock, farmers, ranchers, and rural economies.
I’m urging the USDA to hire more veterinarians, expand research, and ensure we have the tools needed to stop this infestation.

Alex and Michaela are both high school teachers. They chose careers serving their community, and they shouldn't have to sacrifice financial stability because of it.
I launched my housing plan with them because every Minnesotan deserves the chance to afford a home and build a future.

The war in Ukraine has now lasted 1,569 days, surpassing the length of World War I.
Every day this war continues is another day thousands of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia remain separated from their families. We cannot stop working to bring them home.

Speaker Melissa Hortman was my dear friend. Her kids, Colin and Sophie said it best: honor her and Mark by doing something to make our community a little better for someone else.
That was their life. Tina and I spoke on the Senate floor today about all Melissa and Mark did for the world. That is their legacy.

Inflation is rising, and Trump “loves it.”
Well Minnesotans don’t “love it.” And as Governor, I’ll focus on lowering costs. That’s the job.
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning?
Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.

Making life more affordable for Minnesotans starts with making housing more affordable.
That’s why I’m committed to putting Minnesota on a path to build 100,000 homes and lower housing costs for Minnesota families.

As former Mayor of Fergus Falls, my running mate Ben Schierer knows that housing and economic growth go hand in hand.
If workers can't find a place to live, businesses can't grow. Our plan will build more homes, lower costs, and create more opportunities across Minnesota.
When businesses can't find workers and families have nowhere to put down roots — that's a housing problem and an economic problem. Amy’s and my housing affordability plan addresses both.

Republicans in Congress just wrote ICE a $70 billion blank check. This is the same agency that has violated the constitutional rights of American citizens, defied court orders, and made Minnesota less safe.
I voted no.

Minnesota needs 100,000 more homes. As governor, I will cut red tape, incentivize investment, and get them built — because lowering costs starts with housing.

The housing crisis isn't just a metro problem. Communities across Greater Minnesota have been struggling for years. As governor, and with Ben Schierer as my lieutenant governor, we’ll fix it. We can support rural communities that want to build more homes and lower the cost of housing across the state.
