I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman. Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.

Minnesotans will continue to demand justice. www.cnn.com/2026/04/13/u...

Raising a family is more expensive than ever. That’s why my budget lowers the cost of child care by up to $6,000 per family. Let’s pass this into law.

The Duluth Seaport moves millions of tons of iron ore and grain each year - but we need to modernize it to stay competitive and get products to market. I’m proposing a plan to invest in the infrastructure that keeps our economy strong.

It takes a village - often an entire state – to support our children with resources like child care, education, and safe spaces to play and grow. Grateful to Piedmont Elementary School for hosting us to discuss our plan to lower the cost of child care by up to $6,000 per family.

I’m headed up to Duluth to talk about our infrastructure plan! Let’s keep building, Minnesota.

Minnesota’s graduation rates just reached another record high. From day one, we set out to build a better future for our students. I’m proud that every student who receives that diploma is better equipped to build a future they feel excited about.

This is why we need impartial investigations. Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. www.cnn.com/2026/04/06/u...

As Chief Justice Hudson steps away from the bench, she will be remembered not only for the glass ceilings she shattered but for a lifetime of service to those seeking fairness and justice in our courts.

Wishing Minnesotans a very happy Easter, from our family to yours!

Good news in Minnesota today - our graduation rates just reached another record high! www.inforum.com/news/minneso...

I like our odds against Tampa Bay in 30 degree weather.

Chag Sameach! To all Minnesotans who celebrate – Gwen and I are wishing you a happy Passover.

Solventum cut the ribbon on a $200 million expansion today, home to Minnesota’s next chapter in manufacturing and innovation. We’ve worked with them every step of the way - retaining thousands of jobs and ensuring we remain the best state in the nation for health care.

Despite President Trump’s best efforts, we will ensure that Minnesota continues to have the freest and fairest elections in the nation. apnews.com/article/dona...

In Minnesota, we stand tall with our neighbors in the face of hatred.

This and a dew. www.startribune.com/funeral-brea...

Rural hospitals are the latest victims of Trump’s campaign of retribution against our state. All while the White House tries to cut $250 million in Medicaid payments for children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. www.startribune.com/rural-minnes...

Proud to sign the first bill of the year into law today enhancing school bus safety for Minnesota’s students and bus drivers.

Minnesota women’s basketball pioneer and Gopher superfan Elvera “Peps” Neuman has helped create one of the most electric home-court advantages in sports. We look forward to joining her in cheering on the Gophers tonight 〽️

Best part of my day was giving these students from St. Hubert Catholic School an impromptu tour of the office!

This is just one step in our ongoing effort to demand transparency, accountability, and justice for Minnesotans impacted by Operation Metro Surge. We will ensure that Minnesotans’ stories are heard and preserved. www.startribune.com/walz-signs-e...

Before and after 📸 When we’re doing our jobs right, Minnesotans should never give a second thought to their water treatment plant. Thanks to bipartisan work, we upgraded this Robbinsdale facility – and we have a proposal to fund these upgrades across the state.

For months, families lived in fear, children were separated from parents, and two of our neighbors were killed by federal agents. I’m establishing a council to document the impact of Metro Surge and create a public record of the harm Minnesotans endured. We will not forget.

Minnesota can’t wait to celebrate ability, community, and inclusion for all at the 2026 Special Olympics USA Games. Volunteers are the backbone of this event, and there’s still plenty of time to sign up before June! 2026specialolympicsusagames.org/get-involved...

We’re celebrating Agriculture Day in Minnesota, but our farmers are still facing the consequences of Trump’s illegal tariffs. Minnesota farmers don’t want a bailout from the guy who caused the crisis. They want strong markets.

Trump’s left hand cannot investigate his right hand. We will continue to push for impartial investigations and justice for Alex and Renee. apnews.com/article/immi...

Families are paying more for groceries, farmers have been pushed toward bankruptcy, and manufacturing companies continue to shed jobs. Trump’s tariffs weren’t just bad policy - they were unlawful, and Minnesotans deserve every dollar back. kfgo.com/2026/03/24/g...

This is absolutely heartbreaking. Gwen and I are sending our deepest condolences to the friends and family of Jessi Pierce and her children. www.kare11.com/article/news...

Jessie Diggins has elevated cross-country skiing to new heights and has made Minnesota immensely proud. Congrats on one hell of a career, Jessie! www.usatoday.com/story/sports...

With deep gratitude, Minnesota recognizes Master Sergeant Amor’s unwavering dedication and bravery in service to our state and nation. www.startribune.com/funeral-held...

Operation Metro Surge had significant impacts on Minnesota families, children, schools, businesses, and our economy. As we begin to recover, I just proposed rental support for nearly 10,000 Minnesotans and partially forgivable loans for small businesses that faced revenue loss.

Eid Mubarak! As the holy month of Ramadan comes to an end, I’m wishing our Muslim neighbors a peaceful and blessed celebration with good food and good company.

The Trump Administration attempted to make an example of Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge. Instead, Minnesotans set an example for the rest of the country that decency and compassion will always triumph over fear and division. www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

A big win for Minnesota and the Twin Ports. The Blatnik Bridge doesn’t just connect two great midwestern states - it drives interstate and international commerce and will support thousands of good-paying jobs. Let’s break ground and get it done! www.startribune.com/after-delays...

In Minnesota, there are paths to success no matter what type of education you pursue. Apprenticeships are one of the best ways for Minnesotans to get a leg up on fulfilling, family-sustaining, high-demand employment. www.startribune.com/minnesota-ha...

Tech companies are causing disruptions to jobs and our economy, and middle class families are bearing the consequences. To ensure they pay their fair share I’m proposing a tax on social media companies that will support Minnesota workers impacted by artificial intelligence.

Making Minnesota the best state for children and families starts with affordable child care.

Happy Saint Patrick’s Day to all our Irish Minnesotans ☘️

Minnesota families are facing rising costs - my budget is focused on lowering them: ✅ The first sales tax cut in state history ✅ Lowering the cost of child care by up to $6,000 per family ✅ $100 million for first-time homebuyers, supportive housing, and rental assistance

We made a bipartisan commitment to provide the best possible services for those who served us. Now Minnesota’s veteran homelessness numbers are the lowest they’ve ever been. kstp.com/kstp-news/lo...

Never trust spring weather in March. I’m authorizing the National Guard to provide support through this weekend’s snowstorm. I’m grateful to our Guard members for stepping up to help their neighbors. Stay safe out there this weekend!

More than 318,000 children have already benefitted from Minnesota’s nation-leading Child Tax Credit this year - with families receiving an average credit of $2,669. The goal is simple - put money in the pockets of working families and lift children out of poverty.

Minnesotans can’t afford the Trump economy. www.startribune.com/oil-prices-f...

Let’s get it done! www.fox9.com/news/dfl-law...

Minnesota ranks as a top state to live because of the services we provide to make life easier for families. But we need to strengthen program integrity and meet today’s challenges. I’m proposing a major overhaul to the way we deliver those services. www.fox9.com/news/mn-frau...
