My statement on the Trump Administration's decision to cut $600 million in funding for health care in Minnesota and three other states 👇

I am deeply sorry to hear about Jeff Johnson's tragic loss over the weekend. No parent should have to go through that unimaginable pain. I'm keeping Jeff and everyone who loved his daughter in my heart.

In for @kaela15.bsky.social for CD2.

Over 30,000 DFLers showed up to caucus last night—one of the largest turnouts in recent memory. Thank you to the volunteers across the district who shared my story, and to my union brothers and sisters who showed up strong. That’s solidarity. This is just the beginning. Join us.

Thank you to @womenwinning.bsky.social for joining our movement today. As Minnesota’s largest and most influential women’s political organization, I’m proud to have their support as I head to Congress to fight for the autonomy and reproductive freedom of every Minnesotan.

I’m so happy Liam is safely back home with his dad and beloved community. Thanks to @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social for facilitating his safe return. We will not tolerate any more children being snatched from their homes and families. ICE must get out of Minnesota now!

Couldn’t be more excited to have @amyklobuchar at the top of the ticket in 2026. Amy has gotten so much done for Minnesotans in Washington for nearly two decades. I know she’ll bring that same hard work and pragmatism to the Governor’s office next year.

While Americans can’t afford food, gas, and basic healthcare, Congress is planning to give Trump the go-ahead to spend MORE taxpayer $$ on masked agents terrorizing this state. The Senate should vote NO on DHS funding until Noem is impeached and ICE stops abusing our neighbors.

Kristi Noem and Donald Trump are telling us that what we see with our own eyes is not true. They are lying. The truth is that Minnesotans are wrapping their arms around each other and helping our neighbors. ICE needs to get the hell out of Minnesota.

Thank you to Rev. Sharpton for having me on. It's unacceptable and heartbreaking that ICE agents gunned down Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse and union member, in the street. Trump and Noem can end this violence by pulling ICE off our streets. Minnesota deserves better. ICE out now.

I'm out on the streets of Minneapolis with thousands of other people in sub zero temperatures to protest the terrorizing of our neighbors by ICE and this Administration. There is only one solution to restore peace in our streets: ICE out of MN now.

On what would be Roe v. Wade’s 53rd anniversary, women in America have fewer rights than our grandparents. Freedom is not a given, it’s something we fight for. I’m running for Congress to fight for our freedoms and restore the right to choose nationwide.

ICE used a 5-year-old with a Spider-Man backpack as bait to lure his parents outside before hauling him off to a detention facility. He is one of four children detained in Minnesota this month. We are failing our children. ICE out of MN now.

JD Vance is in Minneapolis today to stoke the flames in our state. Go home and take ICE with you. Minnesota, stay safe and stay strong.

Thanks to everyone who came out to watch the debate tonight! Good to see so many familiar faces. If you missed it, you can still watch the recording here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJiU...

This is the reality of what it is like in Minnesota right now. The district I represent in Burnsville is one of the most targeted communities in the state. There are ICE agents everywhere. We will not let them operate in silence or without witnesses.

MLK Jr.’s legacy feels especially urgent this year. He taught us that justice requires courage, community, and action. In the face of fear and threats to our freedoms in Minnesota, his call for dignity and peaceful resistance continues to guide us forward together.

On Friday, I visited a family run farm in Northfield. I heard firsthand how Trump’s tariffs are hurting Minnesota farmers and shared how I plan to fight for them in Congress. Farmers are the backbone of Minnesota and I'm looking forward to representing them in Congress!

For weeks now, Trump’s ICE deployment has terrorized the district I represent which is one of the most diverse in the South Metro. My community is devastated by the chaos and violence, it must end now. www.hometownsource.com/sun_thisweek...

Trump’s massive ICE deployment has been terrorizing  our community for weeks and led to the killing of Renee Good. As an elected official, I’ll fight to keep every Minnesotan safe. Peaceful protest is a right, and we must stand united against fear and intimidation.

Trump’s DOJ wants to investigate Renee Good’s widow instead of holding the ICE agent who killed her accountable. Federal prosecutors––including Trump’s handpicked acting US Attorney––resigned rather than take part in this injustice. Trump’s agenda was never about our safety.

The largest deployment of ICE agents in US history is happening right now in Minnesota. Masked agents are tearing through our neighborhoods, showing up at schools, and violently creating chaos. I commend Keith Ellison for taking action to end this and protect our families.

I’m running for Congress in Minnesota, and this February 3rd is DFL precinct caucus night.  This is your moment. Become a Precinct Captain, delegate, or surrogate. We need you. Click the link below to join, or comment “Kaela’s Crew” for a DM. 👇

Grateful to have Elect Democratic Women by my side. From flight attendant and union leader to serving Minnesotans in the state House, I’ve learned what real leadership looks like. I’m running for Congress to lower costs, protect workers, and deliver real results for real people.

For weeks now, the Trump Administration has been using Minnesota as a political theater to spread violence and sow division in our state, and now their actions took the life of an innocent mother from the Twin Cities named Renee Nicole Good. Read my full statement below.

ICE must immediately leave our state. Today, a 37 year old Minnesota woman was killed in cold blood by ICE agents on the streets of Minneapolis. The killing and abduction of Minnesotans by armed, masked, unaccountable government agents terrorizing our communities needs to end.

Thank you to the Millwrights and Machine Erectors for their endorsement of our campaign! I am running for Congress to be a champion for working people, like myself, which is why I am thrilled that Local 548 is joining the team.

Thank you to Frank Sachs and everyone at Frank Talks for having me last night. This is such a passionate group of DFLers who get together to learn about history every month with the shared belief in a better Minnesota.

Gov. Walz has always put Minnesotans first. Under his leadership, we passed free school meals, paid family and medical leave, and codified abortion rights. When the Legislature returns, we’ll keep working to make life better for all Minnesotans.

I am disgusted by the President's amplification of harmful conspiracies about my former colleague and friend, Melissa Hortman. To twist the pain and loss that their family, community, and people in every corner of Minnesota feel is an act of continued political violence.

There is no doubt, Maduro is a bad guy. But just two days after millions saw healthcare costs soar and as grocery prices stay up, Trump is sending taxpayer dollars to Venezuela so he can “run the country.” When will Washington learn we want lower costs and jobs, not foreign wars.

Today, millions of Americans saw their health insurance bills skyrocket. Millions more will lose coverage altogether. I went without health care during the Pandemic. I know that fear. It's time to send people to Congress who understand the cost because they live it too.

Suggested 2026 resolutions for Congress: (1) Stop members of Congress from stock trading (2) Ban corporate PAC money from politics (3) Overturn Citizens United, make elections about the people, not the dollars

I'm furious about the fraud that has perpetuated since the pandemic. We need smart, capable leadership to prevent this from ever happening again - not the Trump admin's despicable attempt to politicize this issue and cut off care for the children and families who need it.

Our first public filing deadline is TONIGHT. Chip in to help us reach our goal by midnight!! secure.actblue.com/donate/kb-bl...

Tomorrow at midnight is our first public filing deadline. My campaign is backed by unions and working families, not billionaires or corporate PACs. Join us and chip in before the deadline to help us finish the quarter strong: secure.actblue.com/donate/kb-bl...

I’m a flight attendant. I fly across the country, into many different communities and I see how rising costs are affecting families just like yours and mine. That’s why I’m running for Congress. We deserve Representatives who understand this economy because they live it.

Wishing everyone a beautiful and bright Christmas this year! I know this time of year can be complex, I hope you find peace and light today wherever you can 🎄❤️💚

Flying doesn’t have to be this expensive or inconvenient. As we head into the busiest travel season of the year, here are three helpful tips. And if I’m working your flight home this holiday season, be sure to say hello!

Standing in solidarity with my union brothers in CWA today. These abductions do not make Minnesota safer. It's about attacking working people and stoking fear in our communities.

We need tough, serious oversight to crack down on fraud while protecting the programs hardworking families rely on.  Take a look at my latest statement below 👇

Proud to receive an endorsement from my brothers and sisters at IUPAT today! IUPAT District 82 represents workers in the finishing trades across the Midwest. I’m running for Congress to be a champion for working people, and I’m so grateful to have their support.

I'm so proud to be endorsed by Her Bold Move, an organization ensuring the future is shaped by women’s leadership. I’m running for Congress because those most impacted by policy should be the ones writing it—excited to have HBM on our team!

I’m very disturbed to hear about the threats to ISD 196 and the surrounding area today and so grateful to all of the public safety officials who made sure that every child got home safely. www.fox9.com/news/distric...

I am a working mom who has held multiple jobs to make ends meet, including still flying as a Flight Attendant while running for Congress. That’s why I fought for PFL in the state house—so every parent can care for a new child without worrying about putting food on the table.

Tonight, on the first night of Hannukah, I’m thinking about the tragic attack on the Jewish community in Sydney.  I am deeply disturbed by the rise in antisemitism and stand with my Jewish brothers and sisters around the world in mourning the lives lost and all those who were impacted.

I am heartbroken for the students killed and injured at Brown. No one studying for finals or heading into the holidays should face this kind of violence. This isn’t inevitable, sensible gun violence prevention laws can and will save lives.

Millions of Americans are about to see their insurance premiums skyrocket because of Republicans in Congress. Millions more could lose their health care. As someone who went without health care through a global pandemic, I know how scary this is. This is unconscionable.

Last night, Donald Trump called affordability concerns a “scam” and a “hoax.” But rising costs are very real in my bank account! I’m running for Congress because working Minnesotans deserve leaders who believe us when we say things are unaffordable, because they feel it too!
