CD-7 is the largest congressional district in Minnesota, yet it’s been more than 50 years since anyone from here has been elected to statewide office. I know what it looks like when a small town gets left behind.
Together, Senator @amyklobuchar and I are going to change that.

What a night in Fergus Falls parading through my hometown with my family and so many friends by my side. Thank you to everyone who came out for SummerFest today — we saw so many familiar faces and it meant the world.

There's something special about a place that's been serving up joy since 1955. Stopped at the Moorhead Dairy Queen today — one of Minnesota's oldest, and the official birthplace of the Dilly Bar — with Senator Rob Kupec. Greater Minnesota is full of gems like this.

Alexandria is showing what's possible for Greater Minnesota with a pro-growth, pro-housing mentality. 800 new housing units have been built in the last 5 years. Great to talk with Mayor Bobbie Osterberg about Amy’s and my plan will strengthen this work.

Kicking off a week of conversations with mayors on housing affordability. There’s no better place to start than home. Mayor Anthony Hicks and I talked about what Amy's and my plan means for Fergus Falls and towns like it.
More homes. More opportunities. More reasons to stay.

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.

Still thinking about last weekend. My kids stood up and nominated me for Lieutenant Governor at the DFL Convention as delegates from our home, Otter Tail County.
They’re why I do this.

My first Grand Old Day was grand indeed. Grateful to Mayor Her for the welcome to St. Paul, and to everyone who showed up for Amy and me today. Fun way to spend a Sunday!

20 years ago, the East Central Men's Circle had a picnic in Pine City and made history.
That picnic became the birthplace of rural Pride in America. Proof that belonging is for everyone.
Also great to run into my friend and candidate for State Auditor Zack Filipovich!

I grew up here, raised my family here, built businesses here, and served as Mayor of Fergus Falls here. Now, I’m ready to get to work and be a champion for greater Minnesota in St. Paul.

Tina’s a leader who always shows up. She did it as Lieutenant Governor, and she’s done it ever since.

Thank you Faith in Minnesota for being with me throughout this run. We’re fighting to make life more affordable for working families across Minnesota. As we take this fight to the next level, I’m grateful to be in this together.

When I got into this race for State Auditor, I did it because I believe that there’s nothing we can’t do as long as we do it together — and because I believed rural Minnesota needed a champion in St. Paul. That hasn't changed.
What has changed is the opportunity in front of us.

To everyone who believed in my campaign, who donated, made calls, or just told a neighbor: thank you. You made this possible. I'm carrying everything you gave into this next fight. Let's go do this and let’s do it together!

Saint Paul City Council Member @cheniquajohnson is a relentless advocate for her community. Beyond that, she knows the cities AND Greater Minnesota, and she knows that we must work together for a better future for all of us. I'm so excited to have her on the team!

Rebecca Otto served Minnesota as Auditor with integrity, honesty, and accountability for 12 years. I’ve admired her for a long time, so her support of my campaign means the world. I can’t thank her enough for this endorsement!

I am fired up for the DFL State Convention this weekend, and I can’t wait to see you there! We’ve built a fantastic team and I hope you’ll join us.
We can build a better future for Minnesota, but we have to do it together. Let’s get to work!
