Bloomington Legislators worked hard for City of Bloomington during the 2023 session delivering funding for public safety, 494 work, Bloomington Remembers Veterans, and BIG. Nice to hear from & thank Senator Wiklund & Reps Coulter & Elkins at today's Minneapolis Regional Chamber Legislative Breakfast

I had the honor this week of greeting and introducing VA Secretary Doug Collins Denis McDonough at a meeting of Veterans Affairs service center managers held here in City of Bloomington. I so appreciate the work done at Service Centers, and of course the service of our vets and their families.

Thank You to everyone who helped on Saturday with our kick-off to the 2023 Door Knock Season. Great enthusiasm for great candidates to lead a great city! And...it was a wonderful opportunity to once again enjoy the Happy Gardens of Bloomington! #BloomingtonMN

Thanks for your great work CNH Architects!

In honor of the Marjorie Johnson story in the Stib today, here's my picture with Marjorie when she was a spry 93 years old.

At Monday's Council Meeting, I was honored to present Mayor Hiromichi Tsuji a special proclamation celebrating the 30th anniversary of City of Bloomington's Sister City relationship with the city of Izumi, Japan. A special relationship between neighbors more than 6,000 miles apart!

The second annual On the One festival is in the books and it was another great day of music. I'm so impressed with the talent of the artists, appreciative of the vendors, & grateful for City of Bloomington's partnership with Niles Phillips &The The Avant Garde. Looking forward to '24!

It was fun helping Superintendent Dr. Eric Melby welcome students on the first day of class, and I loved watching him interact with students, parents, faculty, & staff. Leadership matters & our Bloomington schools Supe is Number 1! Have a great year Bloomington Schools! City of Bloomington

Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre was in MN last weekend. I spoke at an event here in Bloomington, as did City Council Candidate Isaak for Bloomington City Council. I took a picture of Isaak from the stage at the same time Jeff Wheeler of the The Minnesota Star Tribune took a picture of me taking the picture.

A dozen compliments at the game tonight* about the North Stars jersey. *In Philadelphia.

Cross-town Minnesota high school hockey rivals Kennedy and Jefferson join forces to talk with our neighbors about voting YES on November 7 to fund fixing up the historic city-owned Bloomington Ice Garden! 🏒

When people show you who they are, believe them.

It was my pleasure to meet with you! Thank you for the invitation and the great conversation. Let's do it again soon.

Started my Saturday at an inspiring celebration of our veterans, and ended the day at an equally inspiring celebration in support of the work done by VEAP. Spending time with people who challenge and inspire you is always a good thing.

Why are the entire Minnesota State High School League basketball and hockey tournaments televised, but only the football championships? US Bank Stadium was built as a football/television studio so it should be easy to set things up. I’m sure it would out-draw another rerun of How I Met Your Mother. Anyone?
