Greater MN advocate. Problem solving is more interesting than fighting. Will fight if need be. Go to war with the army you’ve got.

Excited for @benschierer! As genuine a person as you’ll ever meet. Not just in politics…ANYWHERE. Just tremendous.

[Jason DeRusha @DeRushaJ]

CONFIRMED: @amyklobuchar picks @benschierer as her running mate for Lt. Governor (as posted by @bloisolson an hour ago)

[Bradley Peterson @bmpeterson]

Patrick…this bill was defeated in a House committee and NEVER had a hearing in the Senate. Legislators just aren’t buying what developers are selling.

About a week to rally against the NIMBYs.

Unless #mnleg acts now, lead line removal in 2027 is at risk. That means thousands of lead pipes stay in the ground. Families stay exposed. Jobs disappear.

This is a statewide problem & cities rely on funding assistance. There is no time to waste. https://t.co/OglpGBDwdK

The Bemidji Pioneer shared an op‑ed from Commissioner Grace Arnold on a critical issue: too many Minnesotans are facing insurance delays and disputes after severe storms.

A true character in the best sense. Made working at the legislature true joy.

Thank you @GovTimWalz for speaking at our 2026 Legislative Action Day! We appreciate the time you’ve taken to address our members at our event year after year.

[Bradley Peterson @bmpeterson]

I’m not sure that one informational hearing in a committee that wasn’t even in possession of the bill qualifies as “momentum.” The fact of the matter is that a large swath of legislators aren’t buying what you’re selling.

Zoning deal gains momentum at MN State Capitol -
Proposed bill would make it easier to build new housing.

Happy to have the folks from EDAM & MAPCED at our office for their annual Day at the Capitol!

Aging facilities, stricter regulations, & rising construction prices have increased the cost of shoring up water infrastructure.

CGMC's Elizabeth Wefel speaks to the challenges local gov'ts face in providing reliable wastewater & drinking water services.

"Outside of the metro, factors aside from zoning rules — a shortage of developers and workers, high material costs worsened by tariffs, labor costs and a lack of infrastructure — are bigger factors when it comes to high housing prices, Peterson said."

Another day, another event! Today we welcome the MN Deer Hunters Association for their annual Day at the Capitol.

[Bradley Peterson @bmpeterson]

“Deal” and “Momentum” doing a lot of heavy lifting here. Still lots of legislative and stakeholder opposition on this.

@larsleafblad Well done!

[Bradley Peterson @bmpeterson]

Thank you for your efforts on this!

The State Housing Tax Credit that I authored in 2021 has become so successful at improving affordable housing opportunities -- and so in demand -- that it even won a national award! This week I presented a bill to make this great program even better.
