It’s extreme to do nothing while lives are at stake. Vote by November 3rd.

We can’t allow for another Annunciation to happen and be left wondering, could we have done something to prevent this? Yes, and it starts with voting. Minnesotans want and deserve change & we’re fighting to keep us all safe. It’s extreme to do nothing while lives are at stake. Vote by Nov 3.

The election is ONE WEEK AWAY! You can vote early in-person, drop your mail-in ballot off, or make a plan to vote on election day. Think about it now, so you’re not rushed later.

Campaigns are a hard slog but also bring a tremendous amount of joy, love, and community. Vote early at Shakopee City Hall. They are open every day between now and Nov 3. 📸: Bridget Bennett / @minnpost.com

Trump is smearing Ilhan Omar in speeches all over the country now because he is an Islamophobic bigot and he thinks that’s a winning message for Republicans

With over 100,000 doors knocked during the first week of GOTV, DFLers are reaching more Minnesota voters than ever before. Today, you turned out in Brooklyn Park, Burnsville, Lino Lakes, Minneapolis, Moorhead, Shakopee, Stillwater, Winona and so many more spots. Sign up for a shift at dfl.org/gotv!

An amazing day. Lots of doors. Amazing contracts. And honored to be invited by Unidos to talk with John Legend about Operation Metro Surge, defeating an ICE dentition center in Shakopee, and the damage our own government inflicted on our community. Elections matter. Vote early, my friend.

1 person is the reason my gun violence prevention bill didn’t pass last session - Lisa Demuth. Minnesotans demanded we pass it, and instead she & the GOP let the bill sit in a drawer. I’m looking forward to passing it next session, and having it signed by future Gov. Klobuchar. buff.ly/su7j35r

TAB is a fascinating place. Also glad to share what it’s like to serve. We need curious people who want to make recommendations on Met Council policies and also how to allocate transportation grants for active transportation, transit, and roads!

If you have any interest in the wonkiest possible, most politically fascinating form of regional transportation advocacy, please let me know. We need some folks to step up and join the Met Council TAB. DM me if you have interest or questions! metrocouncil.org/Council-Meet...

Today I joined Rep. Brad Tabke, Matt Little and a group of fired-up DFLers in Shakopee today! It's going to take all of us to organize the win we need on Election Day. Make sure everyone in your life has a plan to vote by November 3rd. iwillvote.com

2 years ago after hosting an open house I hit the doors for Brad. Doing it again this Saturday! Brad won by 15 votes. Every door knock is impactful. LFG!

WATCH: Nicole Smith-Holt, insulin advocate and mother of Alec Smith, who died due to the high cost of insulin, called out Lisa Demuth for voting against capping the cost of insulin.

A really interesting study out of the nonpartisan Council on Criminal Justice found the types of public safety strategies we’ve implemented here in MN (and that I’ve supported in the past) have contributed to the reduction in crime we’ve seen recently. (🧵 1/2)

It was great to spend some time in Minneapolis today for the No Kings: Vote Early event! This was an event aimed at encouraging participation from all eligible voters. Great to visit with so many Minnesotans excited to exercise their voting power. Make a plan to vote! ZackforMN.com

It takes a special kind of cognitive dissonance to warn of the trillion dollar impact on our economy from the shortage of skilled workers, while defending massive cuts to education budgets. Investing in public schools is the correct answer here! buff.ly/hXmhd53

Today, Neil showed me around his sugar beet farm in Ada. Thanks to Trump's illegal war, diesel prices have skyrocketed in the middle of harvest. Our farmers deserve stability from the federal government - not more chaos. It's time to end this war.

Our new yard sign colors were a bit more popular than we’d expected...a great problem to have! In the interest of sustainability, we’ll be delivering our “vintage” color yard signs to new orders soon. Different color, same name and message. Thanks friends.

This week, I joined Faith in MN for a forum on the Manufactured Housing Bill of Rights - a bill I’m proud to co-author. Thank you Faith in MN for hosting us and special thanks to those who spoke on the importance of passing this bill next session.

No, Minnesota Republicans do not get to celebrate National School Lunch Week. The GOP has spent the last three years trying to undo the Universal School Meals program, which would take away free lunches from #Minnesota kids. We won't let Republicans forget how they voted. #MNLeg #SchoolLunch #DFL

Happy Indigenous Peoples’ Day! Shakopee is home to the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community, and I’m deeply grateful for their partnership over the years. Take some time to visit Hoċokata Ṫi, it’s deeply impactful.
