minnesota state rep jess hanson rides elon musk for filth for trying to defend his pervy app: "when the richest man in the world hangs out with the epstein class... we cannot act surprised when he's trying to protect the number one tool used to make child sexual abuse material"

During Operation Metro Surge, ICE arrested at least 75 people who had been granted protections from deportation because they were victims of, or witnesses to, serious crimes. The youngest was six years old. And that number is likely a significant undercount.

I'm deeply honored to receive the endorsement of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation, AFL-CIO. 💙 As a proud union member, I know unions are about more than better wages and safer workplaces. They're about solidarity, dignity, and giving working people a voice.

During one of the most challenging moments of my career, my union stood beside me as we fought to defend public servants, the Constitution, and the values of public service. I'll never forget that. That's why this endorsement means so much to me.

I'm grateful for the trust of the Minneapolis Regional Labor Federation and the union members who educate our children, care for our families, build our communities, and keep Minnesota running. Let's keep building a stronger Minnesota together. 💙✊ #YesForJess #LaborEndorsed

I'm honored to receive the endorsement of the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters. 💙 Visiting the Carpenters' training center and seeing their investment in apprenticeships and workforce development was truly inspiring. They are building the next generation of skilled union workers.

As a proud union member, I know the power of solidarity and what we can accomplish when working people stand together. Strong unions build stronger communities, create opportunity, and ensure working families have a voice.

Thank you to the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters for your trust and support. I look forward to partnering with you and the broader labor movement to build a stronger future for Minnesota. Let's get to work! 💙✊ #YesForJess #LaborEndorsed

I've also had the privilege of getting to know carpenters who live right here in our district. Their dedication to their craft, their families, and our community has inspired me, and I'm grateful for the conversations we've shared throughout this campaign.

Join Team Jess at the Market in the Valley this Sunday! The market is open 9:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m., and Jess will be there from 10:30 a.m.–12:00 p.m. under the water tower by Golden Valley City Hall. Stop by to say hello, support local vendors, and enjoy fresh veggies, sauerkraut, and more!

Emma Lazarus captured the vision of Lady Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…" Those words challenge us to welcome those fleeing persecution, celebrate our diversity, and defend every person's rights.

Members of my family came to the United States through Ellis Island, fleeing religious persecution in search of safety and freedom. They entered New York Harbor beneath Lady Liberty—a symbol of opportunity, diversity, and hope. This is why Lady Liberty is personal to me. 🗽

The Statue of Liberty is also political. I'm angry that we are failing to live up to the promise it represents. Immigrants are being denied due process, families are being treated with cruelty, and basic constitutional rights are being ignored.

Working people are the backbone of our communities, and strong unions are essential to protecting fair wages, safe workplaces, and a healthy democracy. As a proud union member myself, this endorsement means a great deal, and I will always stand with and fight for working families at the Capitol.

I am particularly honored to have AFL-CIO’s support given all that our union brothers and sisters have done to fight for our communities these past few challenging months. When we organize, we win. Let’s do this. #yesforjess #laborendorsed #strongcommunities

Due to tomorrow's extreme heat, we've decided to cancel our Team Jess door knock. Stay cool, stay hydrated, and keep an eye out for our next volunteer opportunity. We can't wait to get back out knocking doors with you soon! 💙 Team Jess

What a fantastic day at the Robbinsdale Whiz Bang Parade! One of our favorite moments? Hearing a spontaneous “Yes for Jess!” chant from the crowd. 💙 That kind of energy means so much. Thanks for making it such a memorable day—we can’t wait to see you at the next community event!

A huge thank you to everyone who came out, waved, cheered, and made the parade so much fun. Team Jess loved walking alongside Cedrick Frazier and Team Ilhan, handing out tons of candy, blowing bubbles (of course!), and soaking up the incredible community spirit.

Real progress happens when people come together. As a public health leader at the World Health Organization and USAID, I worked with governments, scientists, and communities to solve difficult problems and improve lives.
