There’s over $2.5 billion in financial aid available to Minnesotans. And as you apply for that funding, we’ve got your back.

Income inequality has reached obscene levels, with the top 1% hoarding more wealth than the entire middle class.

It's time to tax the ultra-rich and big corporations to fund vital services and invest in economic opportunity for all.

Quality education is the cornerstone of an equitable society.

We must fully fund public schools, pay teachers competitive salaries, invest in early childhood education, and make higher education accessible to all.

Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care as a basic human right.

Medicare for All is the solution to our broken health care system.

Republicans’ most recent attempt to silence Rep Rep. Ilhan Omar is not only entirely baseless and Islamophobic, it serves as the latest example of the GOP’s obsessive targeting of Black and brown progressives.

I stand with my sister-in-service 💜

Minnesota's 'Taylor Swift' ticketing law will finally bring real reform for fans trying to see their favorite artists.

It’s long past time we ban hidden fees and fight back against fraudulent ticket sales.

Like so many other children, my kids grew up going to the Boys and Girls Club.

It’s a place where they can learn, grow, and thrive.

Proud our office was able to secure $750,000 for the Boys & Girls Club of the Twin Cities to help with their expansion.

As your Congresswoman, I do not only want to represent Minnesotans, I want to co-govern alongside YOU.

That’s why I hold monthly town halls in every corner of the 5th District.

So far, we’ve held 92 town halls and roundtables and counting 💪🏽

Our immigration process has become excessively complicated, resulting in a massive backlog where 97% of applicants face rejection.

If my GOP colleagues are serious about stopping the flow of border crossings, they'll work with us to make it easier for people to get here legally.

The Trump tax cuts were a deficit-financed giveaway to the ultra-wealthy and corporations. Over the next 10 years, it will add $4.6 trillion to the deficit.

The party of “fiscal responsibility” is at it again.

The climate crisis is an existential threat that demands bold, transformative action.

We need massive investments in clean energy, a transition to sustainable practices, and policies guided by science to slash emissions NOW before it's too late.

Sammy McDowell was a beloved pillar of the Minneapolis community. Sammy's Avenue Eatery wasn't just an incredible place to grab a meal; it was a gathering spot where neighbors came together.

His legacy will forever live on in the heart of North Minneapolis. 💙

A majority of voters support the CROWN Act, and creating protections against discrimination based on hair texture.

Protecting against this discrimination is not controversial. Allowing this discrimination to continue is.
