Mom of four boys, Mimi to three grandsons, wife to Cheryl & U.S. Representative for Minnesota’s 2nd District. Your voice matters and it’s an honor to serve you.
Every woman deserves safe and reliable access to the reproductive care she needs - regardless of her zip code.
That’s why I’m fighting to restore reproductive freedoms at the federal level and codify the protections of Roe v. Wade.

Cheryl and I are wishing everyone who celebrates in Minnesota and across the country a joyful Rosh Hashanah! May your new year be filled with peace and joy. L’shana Tovah!
To fix the border Congress must drop the politics and come together to repair our broken immigration system.
I've pushed both parties to act - we need more agents at the border to stop illicit fentanyl and judges who can process asylum cases in a way that's fast, fair & final.
Congress has an obligation to use tax dollars responsibly, in a way that helps everyday Minnesotans.
I’ve worked with Republicans to pass bills that cut down on wasteful government payments and I’ll keep working to get results.
For any

@StateDept
is telling Americans in Lebanon to leave immediately.
U.S. Citizens seeking to depart should enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program. If you do not hear back within 24 hours, call my office.
Yesterday I toured the Habitat for Humanity project in St. Paul with Shakopee Police Chief Jeff Tate — volunteers are helping to build 35 new homes for Minnesota families.
Every Minnesotan deserves affordable access to the life-saving health care they need. That’s why I fought to:
✅ cap insulin copays at $35/month for seniors
✅ expand access to mental health care
✅ empower Medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices
Earlier this month my bill to cut down on wasteful government spending passed the House with unanimous support from Republicans and Democrats.
I’ll keep working on commonsense legislation that saves taxpayer dollars and tackles government waste.
On World Heart Day, I’m thinking of the thousands of Minnesotans diagnosed with cardiovascular disease each year. I’ll keep working in Congress to fund new health care research and bring health care costs down.
I joined Prior Lake leaders for the groundbreaking of the Miracle League Field – a new baseball facility for children with disabilities.
Every child deserves to have a place to make friends, learn new skills and play. That’s what the Miracle League will accomplish.
Today’s the 24th anniversary of the FDA approval of mifepristone – the most common form of medication abortion. But access to this safe & effective medication is under attack.
I’ll always fight against any measure to restrict access to reproductive health care.
Social Security is a promise to our seniors - that the benefits they’ve earned over a lifetime of hard work will be there when they reach retirement.
I will fight against any cuts to Social Security and keep working in Congress to strengthen the program.
Today I led a bipartisan coalition in introducing a bill to lower prices at the pump while increasing market access for Minnesota farmers — a win-win.
This legislation would make year-round access to E15 permanent nationwide and invest in the domestic production of biofuels.
Inflation is slowing down, but life is still too expensive for working families – we need to keep pushing retailers.
That’s why I introduced my Task Force to Stop Price Gouging Act to hold corporations accountable for more transparency in price increases.
Today, I was joined by Michelle and Rob Williamson, co-founders of Ship Thrifty and Ship To Military, initiatives aimed at simplifying shipping for small businesses and getting care packages to our servicemembers overseas. Thank you both for the work you do!
Great to meet with Education Minnesota’s
@NEAToday
Director Jasman Myers in DC to discuss how we can help get educators the support they need inside & outside the classroom through bipartisan legislation, like the Social Security Fairness Act & the IDEA Full Funding Act.
It’s critical that our local fire departments have the support they need to keep our communities safe and healthy.
That’s why I’m proud to announce that I helped secure nearly $9 million in federal funding to help
