We were proud to welcome @SenAmyKlobuchar to our Nashwauk site to see our progress firsthand.
“Projects like Mesabi Metallics are critical to boosting Minnesota’s economy for the long term and to strengthening America’s domestic supply chains,” said Senator Klobuchar.
I met with workers and local leaders at Mesabi Metallics in Nashwauk — in a few months, it will become the first taconite mine to open in Minnesota in nearly 50 years. This is good news for the Iron Range, creating good-paying union jobs and new opportunities for working families.
Thanks to the Operating Engineers, Steelworkers, LIUNA, Ironworkers, Iron Range Building Trades, Tribal leaders, and mayors including Pete Hyduke of Hibbing and Greg Heybloom of Nashwauk & Ida Rukavina (my former staffer) of the IRRRB.
They will look you dead in the face and say J6 rioters with guns, poles, bats, etc were patriots, but an ER Nurse with a camera and a registered firearm was a domestic terrorist.
