ICYMI: We secured $12.7 MILLION for 15 community projects throughout Minnesota’s 5th District. In total, we have secured over $50 million for community-centered projects. That’s government in action. I will always fight to ensure we have a seat at the table.💪🏾

The Aliveness Project is a vital community center supporting Minnesotans living with HIV for over 30 years. I joined them in serving hot meals and learned about the essential services they provide to our community. Every person deserves access to comprehensive care and support.

I had the honor of recognizing Minnesota Senate Majority Leader Kari Dziedzic in the Congressional Record. As a former colleague in the MN legislature, I've witnessed her dedication to her constituents and the entire state. Thank you, Majority Leader Dziedzic, for your tireless

Our educators are rallying because they know what's at stake. Arts programs, after-school activities, vital support staff – are all on the chopping block. Federal aid wasn't a luxury, it was a necessity. And that necessity hasn't gone away. We need to fully fund our schools.

For too long, folks experiencing #LongCOVID have had their challenges unheard. Our bill builds on previous legislation to #TreatLongCOVID and invest the resources necessary to confront this crisis & help ensure #LongHaulers aren't left behind in our pandemic recovery.

I met with Roxxanne from Community Members for Environmental Justice, an organization working to stop the harmful impacts of pollution on the Northside. We all deserve access to clean air and water. I'm so grateful for their work to make this a reality for Northsiders.

I'm proud to join @SenSanders and @RepPressley in the fight against Long COVID. The Long COVID Research Moonshot Act will allocate $10 billion to accelerate research and improve treatment of long COVID. We can't ignore this public health emergency.

The Afghan Cultural Society helps Afghan families integrate and thrive in Minnesota. I am so glad my office secured $500,000 for their Minnesota Refugee Support Hub! This funding will help expand vital services for Afghan refugees in our community. #FundingFridays

The Office of Gun Violence Prevention has helped implement the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, expand red flag laws, and crack down on ghost guns. But with mass shootings still a daily occurrence, we must push for stronger measures. Ban assault weapons now.

Proud to re-introduce the No Shame At School Act with @SenTinaSmith . Kids should be focused on learning, but it’s hard to do that when your school publicly shames students for carrying school lunch debt. We agree that we need to leave kids out of it.

80% of the global emissions from 2016 through 2022 can be traced to 57 corporate entities. My End Polluter Welfare Act would end the billions in tax giveaways to the very people responsible for polluting our water and communities. Our future shouldn't be sacrificed for

Egregious, vile, & blatantly racist. Promoting a known lie while denigrating our Haitian neighbors is despicable & worthy of censure. This cruel rant is putting the Haitian community further at risk of violence & discrimination.
