we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Amazing

Thank you

It's our annual $5 Friday fundraiser! The Minnesota legislature has a one seat DFL majority and I represent a tough swing district. Chip in $5.00 today and help us keep the seat blue. secure.actblue.com/donate/5doll...

Door knocking in Lino Lakes today, thankful for the good conversations, feedback, and support. We may be in your neighborhood next but if we miss you, you can always connect with us here VoteHeatherGustafson.com

"The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has called for universal background checks, a federal gun-trafficking statute, extreme-risk protection orders, limits on high-capacity magazines, raising the purchase age, and banning assault weapons."

Parade season 2025 complete! Thank you to everyone who showed up, volunteered, and made it a success. I love finishing parade season in my hometown, Vadnais Heights, too. The smiles and support are always appreciated. See you next year!

My district has some of the best restaurants and shops. This morning was coffee with a White Bear Lake city council member at one of my favorite coffee spots in WBL. Thank you Bean & Co for the delicious breakfast and coffee.

A packed Market Fest in White Bear Lake, plus perfect weather for Public Safety Night. Huge thanks to White Bear Lake Police and the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office for keeping our community safe.

Market fest in White Bear Lake tonight featuring Gus the bird who obviously is being recruited to be our mascot.

Are you registered to vote?

The line is long, the mood is somber, and quiet conversations reflect the deep respect so many had for Melissa and Mark Hortman.

Loved this photo from the Manitou Days Grand Parade in White Bear Lake. Huge thanks to everyone who came out to march and represent. Community means everything, especially right now.

Melissa Hortman was a force. She was brilliant, funny, fierce, and so deeply kind. She believed in people and gave everything she had to public service. My heart is broken for her family and for our friends John and Yvette Hoffman, we're praying for you and a successful recovery.

Special session done, budget passed. While D.C. is in chaos, we delivered for Minnesotans: school meals, reproductive rights, clean energy, paid leave, gun safety, and college without crushing debt. We tackled tough issues and stopped GOP rollbacks every chance we got. #mnleg

Yesterday my daughter graduated from Mounds View High School and part of the tradition was walking through your elementary school where the students offer grads advice. Shout out to this wise elementary student who gave the best advice and made us all cry with the last line. 🫶

Make Congress buy their healthcare on the exchanges in their home state

In Minnesota, we protect LGBTQIA+ rights, not just in Pride Month, but every day. No matter what happens federally, we’ll keep fighting for freedom and equality. 🏳️‍🌈

Always grateful to be invited and attend the Memorial Day Program at Union Cemetery in White Bear Lake. Memorial Day is a time to remember not just the fallen, but the values they fought to protect: freedom, democracy, and unity.

The Lino Lakes American Legion Post 566 Memorial Day event is always special and it's an honor to speak each year. On this Memorial Day, we remember and honor the brave service members who gave their lives for our country and the families who carry their memory every day.

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

As a teacher, this one means a lot. Today we signed pension reform into law, a long overdue step forward for Minnesota educators. We also boosted pensions for firefighters and police officers. Deep thanks to Sen. Nick Frentz for being a relentless advocate. #mnleg

These remarks misrepresent the OIG bill and dismiss the serious, bipartisan work behind it. The IG’s unique role is clearly defined, and it’s clear the current system needs support. Minnesotans deserve better oversight and real accountability. #mnleg www.cbsnews.com/minnesota/ne...

Teacher pension reform was one of the reasons I ran for office and today I was proud to vote yes on the substantial positive changes this pension bill contains. For years, many of us have been fighting to make things right and today we took a huge step forward. #mnleg #teachers

Honored to vote to rename the 10th Avenue Bridge as the Senator Kari Dziedzic Memorial Bridge. Kari was my mentor, a fierce advocate for Northeast Minneapolis, and a true public servant to all of Minnesota. #mnleg

Did you get this text tonight? Here’s the truth: In 2023, the DFL delivered historic $ for seniors, nursing homes, & vulnerable Minnesotans. We eliminated social security income tax for ~80% of seniors. I watched Republicans vote AGAINST these bills. The hypocrisy is wild, even for them.

Regardless of party or politics, being in a joint session for the State of the State is a powerful reminder of our shared responsibility to Minnesota. Proud to be part of this work. #mnleg

Where is DOGE on this

Thank you to everyone who joined us today in Circle Pines. Last month we did a town hall, this month we combined a townhall with a community meet and greet and the conversation and feedback was appreciated and inspiring. We'll do it again soon!

Sure sign of spring? The Vadnais Heights Fire Department Open House & Lions Belgian Waffle Breakfast! Thank you to the volunteers and staff who always make this event a success. Great turnout as always!

What they’re doing to social security

Trump voters, be honest, you know in your heart things aren't going well.

What we’re doing is working. Take two minutes for this one—it won’t just make you feel good—you’ll be fired up and ready to go.🔥

Proud of you, Wisconsin

Not one Minnesota Republican joined DFLers today to condemn Trump’s pardons of the Jan 6 insurrectionists. They say it was a dark day—but when it came time to back law enforcement and defend democracy, they stayed silent. Unbelievable.

"People perhaps are concerned"

A Jan. 6 defendant, separately charged with possession of child pornography, says Trump's pardon should cover the porn charges too — since the evidence came from a Jan. 6 related search by the FBI. This is the same argument DOJ has made in other courts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Busy day at the Capitol. In addition to a successful hearing on making the Circle Pines license center full service I met with Centennial and Mounds View school district staff and leadership. It's an honor to represent our community. #mnleg

The toughest choice on a Friday night during Lent is choosing which walleye to order. 🐟

"More than 600 Iron Range steelworkers out of work as auto industry cuts orders because of tariffs"

Trump has cost our state $160 million in his first 50 days in office. The DFL invested in schools, roads, public safety, cities, counties, and tax cuts for working families. The real threat to Minnesota’s budget is Trump’s reckless policies. #MNleg #TrumpChaos

Trump/Musk putting people in real danger: MN receives federal $ to fund everything from domestic violence shelters, sexual assault advocates, child abuse centers & connections to housing. Groups help victims w/ legal services, including orders of protection against their abusers.

"The impact is not abstract of what was canceled. It has real life impacts today in the classroom, for students right now and for teachers. This wasn’t waste — this was really important work to help American students and families,” WKRG.com search.app/BTHT5dghwv6F...

Really curious if all the conservatives with American flags in their bios are cool with having a king.
