Join me for the Small Business Brunch hosted by Sheletta Brundidge this Saturday!

I am excited to announce that I am running to continue serving in the Minnesota Senate!

The #1 thing I hear from my constituents is that they are tired of the partisanship and want both sides to work together. I'm proud of the bipartisan work I've done in the MN Senate.

For over a decade I have been honored to provide medical assistance at the State Fair. These folks have made every second of that time a joy. They are the best in the business! (PC Tom Barrett)

Great to meet with Sheriff Joe Leko in Hastings to talk about all the great work he's doing for Dakota County! Looking forward to continuing to partner with him in the Senate to support public safety and law enforcement.

The rain held off and it was a beautiful day to honor those lost to fentanyl poisoning. The DNF Ride 4 Life took us through beautiful countryside and included some incredible folks. Thank you Bridgette and Tom Norring for a great day, and for all you do for the community. ❤️

Ensuring clean water for every Minnesotan can't wait. Every corner of our state has urgent infrastructure needs from crumbling roads to recycling plants and water treatment facilities. We need a bonding bill this year free of political gamesmanship. www.startribune.com/opinion-why-...

Training. 🔥🔥🔥🚒🚒

Not a single GOP Senator voted to condemn Trump's pardon of the J6 insurrectionists - the same violent criminals who ruthlessly attacked cops. 22 GOP Senators voted no, and the rest just didn't show up for work today 🤷‍♀️

🚨Town Hall Alert! Join me this Saturday, April 5 from 10:30-11:30 for a town hall at the Afton City Hall.

Thrilled to ride the Gold Line on its grand opening!

Proud to sponsor a bill that would hold criminals accountable for assaulting FF & EMS while on the job. My bill was heard yesterday in Judiciary & included the compelling testimony of a Medic who was assaulted on the job.

To be fair, Rep Dipple did invite me today's press conference. Since I have obligations at the capitol this morning, I am unwilling to skip work for a press opportunity on a bill I don't support.

Today Representative Dipple unveils his "outside-the-box" bill to fund the Hastings water treatment project. This bill would invade the 3M settlement funds that Cottage Grove, Afton, Lake Elmo, and other east metro communities rely on to combat PFAS.

Rep Dipple refuses to sign the bonding bill I dropped to help fund the Hastings water project. I have reached out to Rep Dipple countless times asking that we work together to help Hastings. He refuses to work with me on my bill, insisting that he be the one to draft any bill to fund this project.

The 1st bill I dropped this biennium is to secure the much needed $ for Hastings for its water treatment project. This critical infrastructure will ensure Hastings residents have clean water & is my top priority. We need an early bonding bill so MN cities can complete these necessary projects.

Last night I had the honor of being invited to speak at the session priorities panel of the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. It was a great discussion with my colleague over in the House, Rep. Andrew Myers.

Today I had the honor of being interviewed by a Japanese film crew who are producing a documentary on PFAS. I am happy to share my work on the issue both locally and internationally to help prevent any more of this forever chemical from entering our environment.

Sometimes life throws weird opportunities in your path. Today I was sworn in to practice before the US Supreme Court. The Court does not allow cameras and security was pretty tight. So these are the only pictures I've got. Maybe I'll try to sketch the experience.

"Kari D was fun, fierce and fearless. She always looked for ways to use her political power for good — and you didn’t even have to ask her for help." Sheletta Brundidge captures what Kari Dziedzic meant to so many. Look for the billboards around town and remember Kari's amazing work. ❤️

I will miss you.

Like many manufactured home communities in Minnesota, Cimarron residents have endured lot rent increases, a decrease in services, and predatory tactics by the property management company in attempts to evict homeowners - many of whom are disabled.

I am devastated by the loss of my colleague and friend. Kari was truly one of a kind and she will be deeply missed.

Meet the paramedics staffing the Lower St Croix Valley FD ambulance w/ its new part-time ALS license! Beginning 1-1-25 Afton, Lakeland, SMP, Lakeland Shores, & LSCB will have ALS-level care available w/in their communities, reducing the need for mutual aid. Thank you to all who made this happen!

Grateful The Big Guy & Mrs Claus found time in their schedules to stop by the Lower St Croix Valley FD last weekend for our pancake breakfast. The generosity of our community never ceases to amaze me. Thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy some pancakes & good conversation!

Thank you Senator Amy Klobuchar for another fantastic Women's Power Breakfast! It is an honor to serve with so many amazing women, and I am grateful for this opportunity to lift each other up. As we all know, women get shit done.
