Proud Senator to the Minnesota Senate for the people of South Maplewood and Woodbury (district 47).
It was amazing to be on an AARP Town Hall call w/ over 4,000 people to talk about my favorite bill this-banning cryptocurrency kiosks! Grateful for the help of Det. Lynn Lawrence, Woodbury PD, Alex (my first LA), the House, & the rest of the crew. Protecting Minnesotans by addressing consumer fraud.

This spring's Public Safety Campus groundbreaking happened because the legislature authorized a local sales tax increase that the voters approved to implement. It's a great example of our community supporting the people and services that keep everyone in Woodbury safe.

This bill is very meaningful; funding to Helping Paws (where Melissa & Mark Hortman found Gilbert) to train & raise a litter of puppies to be service dogs for people w/ disabilities or PTSD. Colin & Sophie said a good way to honor their parents was to do something to make the world a little better.

This is the first of some of my favorite bills passed this session - $2 million in bonding for La Lake! The updates to this park will show how much of a gem La Lake is to the whole region.

Creating good policy means sharing my knowledge and receiving knowledge from others. That recently happened with groups of 6th graders🙂. I continue to be impressed by the kids in our community.

I'm back from break and hitting the ground running! I presented 2 bills at the Health and Human Services committee yesterday-1 to help kids aging out of foster care get the legal documents they need, & 1 to dedicate a new litter of service dogs in Melissa and Mark Hortman's and Gilbert's legacy ❤️💚

After meeting people at the Woodbury Expo, I headed over to the No Kings rally in St. Paul. The crowds were overwhelming, powerful, & clear in defending our democracy. It was also inspiring to hear words from so many amazing speakers. Here's Bruce Springsteen (I've never been in the pit before✊🤩)!

& Julia Coleman. Proud to support changing Senate rules to allow children on the floor. Life happens & parents need to be able to care for their littles. It works in the House & other places of work; it's past time to allow it in the Senate.

Thanks for the chat, Veronica! My priorities are to protect, respond, & recover. We have so much going for our state & community, but attacks from the federal government have caused major issues for residents, social programs, & the cost of living.

MN cities & counties have real costs from federal policy decisions. Police overtime, administrative expenses, stretched budgets. Communities shouldn't be financially punished for fed. decisions they don't control. Today’s bill provides limited state grants to minimize these costs to MN localities.
