The MN Senate just passed the Job & Labor bill today with bipartisan provisions! It includes supporting workers with stronger mandatory break laws: giving clearer language & specific time frames for breaks required. This adds more transparency between employers and workers.

Three Rivers Park District does amazing advocacy & have visited the Capitol for years. I just HAD to snuggle a sweet baby lamb (who started falling asleep in my arms) while learning about their excellent programs of inclusivity, increasing access to parks for all, and education.

Love seeing our senior advocates coming out to the Capitol to have their voices heard, focusing on saving Social Security, Medicaid/Medicare, and Veterans Health Care.

Excited to share that the MN Historical Society awarded the Woodbury Heritage Society almost 10K to help organize & preserve museum collections, allowing for greater public access to community history. My office is happy to help with the grant process! mnhs.org/preservation/l…

The MN Senate just passed the Legacy Appropriation Omnibus. This bill funds & supports some of the true gems of MN: The Clean Water Fund, Zoos, MPR, TPT, The Science Museum, childrens museums, parks & trails, + much more. I'm so glad we invest in things to make our state great!

Today I met with a new Woodbury resident who is also an advocate for Habitat for Humanity. We agreed on the need for more affordable housing in MN, and she shared concerns about the rising cost of homeowners insurance.

Thank you to the Hmong community for again inviting me out to help honor Hmong SGU Remembrance Day (May 14). It was a moving and lovely event, under beautiful sunshine (vs. rain 2 yrs ago). This year was extra special, celebrating 50yrs since Hmong resettlement in the U.S.

Really enjoyed talking with 3rd graders from Valley Crossing Elementary during their Capitol Tour today on my way to the floor. Lots of great questions!

I love this time of year! The significance of signing HS graduation letters 🎓while voting YES to fund teacher pensions & unemployment insurance for our school’s hourly workers is not lost on me. Thank you to everyone who helps our children succeed & thrive!

A moving #MemorialDay2025 ceremony at the St. Cloud VA this a.m., hosted by the St. Cloud area METROVETS. I was seated next to a Gold Star family, & their loss was unimaginable. Afterwards, it was nice to connect w/other veteran advocates (photo with MN DAV Commander Walker). 🇺🇸

A perfect spring day enjoying a couple MN treasures... Thanks Minnesota DNR for the hatchery tour! Our scout troop learned about the process from egg to stocking MN lakes + saw baby musky. Then, a great time Ordway Center for the Performing Arts Flint Hills Family Fest. Music 🎶, activities, & saw a great show!

Love connecting with students when they visit the Capitol! Today I chatted with students from Royal Oaks Elementary in Woodbury and answered some great questions about bills and the legislative process.

I connected with kids & seniors today! At Newport Head Start Flag Day event, we discussed free lunches for kids & our new inclusive state flag. When I met w/ seniors, I shared about great programs: grants for homeless elder prevention, senior nutrition, food bank & shelf funding.

Thank you to everyone who has reached out to check on me and the boys. We are safe, but I'm shaken. I'm devestated by the loss of Speaker Hortman and her husband and the senseless violence against Sen. Hoffman and his wife. Politics should not be like this.

I am stepping down from the MN Senate, but I can't do that without expressing my gratitude. Thank you to my family, friends, & constituents who shared the issues they care about & trusted me to work on their behalf. It's been a true honor to serve MN & the community I grew up in.
