In our Gun Violence Prevention Working Group, Sen. Liz Boldon reflects on the courage of gun violence survivors, and how we must stop expecting our children to be so brave. "We should not be asking children to protect other children. We should be doing that." youtube.com/shorts/I5-uS...

In the 60s and 70s, MN was home to a strong Chicano Movement, led in part by groups like the Brown Berets. Activists fought for bilingual education, farmworker rights, and against discrimination—laying the foundation for Latino civil rights advocacy. Their work continues to inspire new generations.

On this day of remembrance, take time to honor the victims and heroes of 9/11 and reflect on the strength that unites us as a nation. I remember trying to figure out if colleagues were safe that day. Fortunately, they were physically safe, but so many were not. I think of all affected today.

In Minnesota we're clear: Vaccine access saves lives, and ensures kids can go to school, seniors stay healthy, and Minnesotans stay safe. We won't let Trump and RFK Jr's abuse of power and attack on public health put Minnesotans at risk.

Fun to watch the Edison High School Cross Country teams compete in the rain today. If you ever need a pick me up, find a cross country race and cheer loudly. In the picture, the team is celebrating after the race. Great efforts today team!

Happy Labor Day! MN workers deserve fair pay, sick time, and dignity. We banned non-compete clauses, stopped wage theft, and expanded protections. Standing with those in Labor, I’ll keep working to make MN the best place to work and live.

Minnesota will remain a safe place for our trans friends and neighbors. You are welcome and needed in Minnesota.

I’m headed to the State Fair Sunday for a conversation with my high school classmate Rep. Keith Allen of Kenyon on WCCO radio. Not only did we graduate together, we were in the same Sunday School. Listen Sunday Aug 24 9AM on 830 WCCO as Blois Olson interviews us. www.audacy.com/stations/wcc...

Spring Manor will forever be home for many thanks to the investment of renovating 221 units and building 15 fully accessible units. We must invest in housing everywhere and for everyone. Stable housing strengthens neighborhoods. I’m happy that I could celebrate with Spring Manor today.

Cedar Riverside Open Streets ongoing until 5PM. See you here!

The Minnesota Consumer Data Privacy Act went into effect August 1. The act gives Minnesotans these rights: o Access to collected personal data. o Correct inaccuracies. o Delete personal data. o Obtain a copy of personal data. o Opt-out of sale of data, targeting, and certain profiling.

A fine rainy day to celebrate that Stone Arch Bridge is open! More celebrations need marching brass bands leading the way. My predecessor Senator Kari Dziedzic secured the funds for the bridge preservation.

A corpse flower is in bloom at Augsburg University and they’ve opened the doors to visit and smell “Lady Gag-ugh.”

I toured Second Chance Recycling where they plan to recycle 100,000 mattresses in 2025. Located in Southeast Minneapolis, they are a workforce development nonprofit focused on developing job skills for formally incarcerated Minnesotans. Together, we are working to expand mattress recycling.

July is #DisabilityPrideMonth and Republicans in Congress just passed a bill that guts Medicaid, which funds 77% of services for people with disabilities. I’m fighting to protect access, independence, and dignity in Minnesota.

Northeast Farmers Market: Saturday July 12.

I was proud to walk in solidarity yesterday with @mapeunion.bsky.social & @afscme.bsky.social as they negotiate their contract. I was honored for the opportunity to give remarks. Our state workers keep Minnesota running, & deserve a fair contract. Look who I found- @senatordoronclark.bsky.social!

A quick reflection:

Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom hard-fought and justice long overdue.

Good to speak with @eastbankmpls.bsky.social tonight. Your support and high expectations for me help drive me to serve you well. Keep showing up and doing the work - you know that I will. 📸by @liam2manynames.bsky.social

Today’s events of political violence are abhorrent. The unspeakable killing of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark is devastating. Melissa dedicated her life to serving Minnesota. And this tragedy is heartbreaking for our state. They will be missed dearly.

Listening Session at 4PM today (Tuesday June 10) at Qahwah Coffee. See you there!

Late night at the Minnesota Senate. Wrapping up our last bills of the Special Session.

I’m disappointed in and angered by my Republican colleagues in the Minnesota Senate today. Every Minnesotan deserves access to affordable, quality healthcare through MinnesotaCare.

The Governor has called a special session for today. We have 14 bills to get through. Let me know your thoughts!

Minnesota is - and will remain - a safe place for LGBTQIA+ people to live and thrive. No matter who’s in the White House. 🏳️‍🌈

Work continues in the Taxes Working Group - I continue to advocate and negotiate a bill that reflects our shared Minnesota values.

Quick Tuesday update: I’m serving on the Taxes Working Committee where we are continuing to hammer out our differences and we are making progress to a final bill. I’m working to help craft a bill that reflects the best of our shared Minnesota values.

As we enjoy the beauty of Minnesota this weekend, keep in mind that Memorial Day is a time to remember not just the fallen but also the values they fought to protect—freedom, democracy, and unity. May we always be worthy of their sacrifice.

May 25th marks five years since George Floyd was killed. His death forced Minnesota—and the nation—to reckon with the reality of systemic racism in policing and beyond. 1/3 #georgefloyd

Friday evening update: I’m serving on the Joint Senate and House Taxes Working Committee. We are working our way through the two versions to craft our revenue plan for the next four years. I’m negotiating to ensure the richest pay their fair share and we support our most vulnerable neighbors.

I want to hear from you! As we head into the special session, I'm hosting listening sessions across Senate District 60 to hear your thoughts and concerns. See you soon!

Quick Senate update: We are acting on the Ag omnibus, Judiciary omnibus, and Legacy bills this Sunday evening.

Spending my Mother’s Day afternoon getting ready for the Transportation Conference Committee on Monday. I’m working to be sure that we can get around Minnesota in more than just a car.

Today, I presented the annual Claims bill on the Senate floor. This bill provides justice for those Minnesotans wrongly imprisoned who were later exonerated. The bill passed 66-1.

Yesterday (May 6), we passed our HOA reform bill to even the playing field for homeowners by addressing: ✅ Conflicts of Interest ✅ Excessive Fines & Fees ✅ Improved Foreclosure Protections ✅ Dispute Resolution Plus, I was named to 2 conference committees: Judiciary & Public Safety Transportation

5/6 Update from Senator Clark! #mnleg

5/5 Update from Senator Doron Clark!

More than 70,000 students use the MN State Grant to afford college. In the Senate Higher Ed bill passed today, we invest over $100M to keep it strong and tuition costs down.

Our democracy works best when voters, not billionaires or scam PACs have power. The Senate's election bill takes on dark money, makes campaign finance and lobbying more transparent, and invests in local elections administration. In Minnesota our votes are not for sale.

Happy Easter!

Push all of us. Together, we are much louder. We must fight against Trump and Musk’s overreach and protect our college students.
