My mom, Patsy, decided today was her day to rise too. She passed peacefully this morning. I can see her right now smiling in the embrace of her love and my father, Tom, and my sister, Bridget. Our time together never was and never will be enough. Love your families today more than ever. On behalf of my brother Jack and sister-in-law Molly, our brother-in-law Tom and his wife Paula, and our families, Jacquie and I appreciate your prayers.
Food stamp fraud, waste, and abuse has been steadily on the rise, endangering the program for those who truly need it.
Sharing data with federal partners to root out fraud is a common sense solution. Unfortunately, @GovTimWalz continues to turn a blind eye.
Thank you @RepFinstad
Here's Walz with Ayan Abukar, who is receiving Minnesota's 2021 "Outstanding Refugee Entrepreneurship Award" (I kid you not). Abukar was later convicted in the $250 million Feeding Our Future case. Entrepreneurial, all right.

Gov. Walz and his administration failed to run the required security checks on the system that determines SNAP eligibility, leaving the door open for fraud and security breaches. On top of that, they refused to give the USDA requested enrollment information to protect program integrity.
It’s unacceptable that Minnesotans are paying the price for this failed leadership time and time again.
For 250 years, the United States Marine Corps has embodied honor, courage, and commitment in defense of our nation. We celebrate their proud legacy and the men and women who have answered the call to serve.
Charlie Kirk was such a bright mind and light to this world. His faith, knowledge, and voice inspired so many. Let’s not allow evil to win by letting his work die with him, but instead pray that those who have heard him will use their faith and reason to be beacons of hope, common sense, and courage…out of darkness will come light.
75 indictments and counting. These are YOUR taxpayer dollars that were meant to feed hungry kids and instead went to buy Kenyan real estate. The lack of oversight of state-administered dollars should outrage each and every one of us.
Political violence has no home in America. Today, the House joined together to condemn the horrific attacks on Minnesota lawmakers. We wish State Senator Hoffman and his wife a quick recovery and remember the lives of State Rep. Hortman and her husband.
Democrats wishing to lose the ‘26 midterms should promote a 33 year-old socialist devoid of executive experience for mayor of America’s largest city and impeach a president who ended a tyrannical regime’s nuclear threat while achieving a cease fire days later.
Under Governor Walz’s leadership, Minnesota has experienced massive fraud schemes resulting in the mishandling of millions of taxpayer dollars. @RepFischbach, @RepPeteStauber, and I sent a letter requesting the Trump Admin to swiftly appoint a new U.S. Attorney for Minnesota, so we can get the state back on track.
We are deeply saddened to share the news that former Zephyrs captain and 2015 graduate, Jack Gunderson, has passed away. Jack will be remembered dearly and will always be a Zephyr.
See the link for more information about Jack’s life and service details.

We thank @RepFeenstra, @RepFinstad and their colleagues for reinforcing the importance of USDA's Dairy Margin Coverage program to ensure it remains an effective risk management tool for America’s dairy farmers.
Thank you for hosting me, Albert Lea community leaders! It is great to be able to work with you shoulder-to-shoulder to build a better #MN01 community as we go into 2024! https://t.co/gGfLTXSszs
Had a great meeting with city leaders from Austin where we discussed ways to support Main Street businesses and address workforce challenges. Thanks for having me!
The open border policies of @POTUS have created the worst border crisis in US history.
Now, the rail service that our farmers & producers rely on for their livelihood is in jeopardy because of this admin’s failure to secure our border. Unacceptable.
