Let’s go, Minnesota!

27 May

I am heartbroken to learn about the shooting that happened this morning at the Canterbury Park Expo Center and devastated to hear it resulted in the loss of a young man’s life.

27 May

A place of worship is sacred. Everyone has the right to safely practice their faith. I am sending my thoughts and prayers to those affected.

17 May

Thank you Esme Murphy and WCCO for a chance to talk about our race for Congress today. Minnesotans in CD2 deserve a leader who will deliver for them. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/vi...

13 May

This week we voted to keep ICE agents out of patient areas unless they have a judicial warrant. During all the years I worked with law enforcement at HCMC, we never needed this law. But we do now and I was proud to vote yes.

1 May

My thoughts on the recent Supreme Court decision.

24 Apr

I'm proud to be recognized as a 2026 Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate. Gun violence remains the number one killer of children in America. I see that terrible reality at the hospital.

24 Apr

That's why I've voted to support gun violence legislation in the Minnesota Senate, and will support an assault weapons ban in Congress.

20 Apr

I'm proud to have the endorsement of the American College of OB-GYN physicians PAC as well as the DFL Feminist caucus—and proud to support abortion care in our state. I spoke about it with Steve Francisco—you can find the full interview using the linktree in my bio.

14 Apr

Huge shoutout to my team for crushing it at the SD 52 Convention! You all worked tirelessly to make sure it was a success, and I’m beyond grateful for your support and hustle. Thank you to everyone in Eagan who came out to engage, ask questions, and show your support. Let’s keep moving forward!

9 Apr

It is an honor to receive the endorsement of the DFL Feminist Caucus. I am committed to the work of addressing political, economic and health care disparities for women and women of color in our state, and ensuring full access to reproductive care.

9 Apr

We have done good work on these issues in the Minnesota Senate, and I look forward to continuing at the federal level.

4 Apr

I spoke with MPR’s Brian Bakst yesterday about the state of the Congressional race, including plans to address the ICE invasion of our state last winter. Full interview here: www.youtube.com/live/CAP2dut...

1 Apr

People can’t afford to go to the hospital, to get their prescriptions filled, or even to buy basic health insurance—because we’re paying for a war with no clear objectives. These are the choices that Republicans are making, prioritizing conflict over our community's health.

31 Mar

I’m proud that Minnesota remains a welcoming place for transgender people, and we must continue to stand against discrimination and violence directed toward trans people.

30 Mar

I’m so proud of the young people who volunteered all weekend long to support candidates and advance democracy. Here is my group of interns who I humbly think are the best in the business.

27 Mar

Today in the Commerce committee we passed a ban on AI chatbots interacting with minors. Kids have been victimized by these soulless online bots for too long, and it needs to end.

Congratulations to Senator Zaynab Mohamed on her nomination for the Gabrielle Giffords Rising Star Award. Sen. Mohamed has shown amazing courage and leadership this winter when her community was under attack. I am proud to have her friendship— and her endorsement.

We must continue to do the work towards universal health care while honoring the achievements made by the Affordable Care Act.

Our healthcare system is broken. I’ve witnessed this firsthand as a doctor attending to patients—and as a State Senator working to improve healthcare in Minnesota. Systemic change in how Americans receive care can only be achieved by leaders who truly understand the problem.

or immigration status—healthcare is a human right and it’s time we treat it that way in the United States. Throughout this campaign, I’ve met countless Minnesotans who want what is best for their families, loved ones, and communities.

That’s why I became a physician, ran for State Senate, and now, I’m running for Congress.

As a physician, I recognize my potential to be a crucial voice in Congress to achieve universal healthcare in the United States. Access to life-saving treatments for our children, routine check-ups for our loved ones, and emergency medicine during crises shouldn’t be dictated by someone’s financial

SF 3769 is heading to the Senate floor. This legislation gives us the ability to hold drugmakers accountable and reduce harm by protecting access to affordable medications and preserving care in communities across the state.

17 Mar

This judicial order—striking down RFK Jr’s bogus vaccine recommendations—is good news for science, public health and the truth. But in case it doesn’t last, I continue my work to establish our own Minnesota Vaccine Advisory Board, which will be heard in the Health and Human Services committee today.

11 Mar

For most of my career as a doctor I practiced at Hennepin County Medical Center, and the hospital remains close to my heart. The staff embody the best of Minnesota values—compassionate, hard-working and humble.

11 Mar

Now the Trump administration is again targeting Minnesota—this time by cutting $250 million dollars in Medical Assistance to our state alone. This will devastate my old alma mater, as well as rural hospitals and nursing homes across the state. We can and we must do better.

startribune.comRoper: HCMC is too big to fail, but Hennepin County leaders say it’s now on life support.The county wants a sales tax expansion to save Minnesota’s largest public hospital. That solution falls too heavily on one part of the region.

27 Feb

I’ve learned from Senator Pappas since I first arrived in the legislature. Her visionary and collaborative work on statewide bonding projects is inspiring to me. Honored to have her endorsement.

26 Feb

This morning, I joined Adam and Jordana on NewsTalk 830 WCCO to discuss my plan for a Minnesota vaccine commission—to ensure Minnesotans have access to the best medical guidance.

25 Feb

Yesterday, Lakeville schools went in to lock down due to an active shooter threat. We must move legislation to stop this regular trauma.

25 Feb

The Minnesota Senate DFL is moving several ideas to curb gun violence including an assault weapons ban, limit on magazine capacity, and requirements for safe storage.

23 Feb

My campaign is supported by democrats from across the political spectrum of our party—not because we always agree, but because we trust each other, and know we can work together for the common good.

23 Feb

I’m so grateful for all the delegates who participated in Democracy yesterday—from LeSueur to Cottage Grove. The Minnesota spirit is strong. And I’m deeply grateful to the volunteers from my campaign who put in a full day supporting the good work. You all are the very best.

18 Feb

When ICE failed to render aid to Renee Good, she still had a pulse 6 1/2 minutes later. Yesterday, on the first day of legislative session, I co-authored a bill with the majority leader and other health care legislators that would give Minnesotans civil recourse in that circumstance.

16 Feb

Democrats continue to come out to connect in these dark days. The spirit of Minnesotans will prevail.

13 Feb

If this is true, thank God. And the Minnesota resistance can be written among the annals of the great peaceful movements from all time. The memories of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and all of the others harmed in our community must not be forgotten.

13 Feb

Investigations and accountability must occur for the reckless actions of ICE. Our work is not done.

2 Feb

Klein for Congress is so proud to have the endorsement of the Minnesota Pipe Trades, the umbrella organization of many proud locals around the state of Minnesota.

29 Jan

Bruce Springsteen with a song that so well honors Renee Good and Alex Pretti and articulates what’s special about Minnesota. Thank you, Bruce!

Minnesota stood firm and stood together. Now, we have to keep working together to do better for all of our communities, because we can and must do better. #Minnesota #IceOut #Doctor
