Tax Day is here, Minnesota.

Our state’s nation-leading Child Tax Credit is saving hardworking families about $2,500 on average. If you qualify, file to take advantage of the credit.

Yesterday, we baked an apple, honey, and fruit dessert in honor of the beginning of the High Holidays at sun down.

Wishing all Minnesotans who celebrate a sweet, healthy, and peaceful #RoshHashanah. Shana Tovah!

Honored to have spent the evening with our friends from Finland. Thank you, Maestro Vänskä and Ambassador Koskinen, for this memorable evening. We are grateful for the contributions of the Finnish to Minnesota and for our ever-shared landscape.

Thank you First Lady @GwenWalz for your continued support for arts & culture in Minnesota! We were delighted to have you join us for Maestro Vänskä’s last televised concert at @mn_orchestra

What a great honor to have @GovTimWalz declare Friday, June 3rd, 2022 as Osmo Vänskä Day!

[Gwen Walz @FirstLadyMN]

It was an honor to be with the Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America. The enthusiasm and spirit of service was contagious!

What a thrill to join Minnesota’s passionate First Lady @GwenWalz and @MNFCCLA as young leaders kicked off Global Youth Service Day (April 29-May 1st) at the @MallOfAmerica. Sponsors include @MottFoundation, @AllstateFDN, @HersheyCompany, @StopHungerUSA! #YouthChangingTheWorld

Randall Smith’s optimistic view on life and people prioritized education and second chances. Those close to him shared with me the significant impact he made on his community. His death is tragic beyond measure, but his legacy will continue forward.

English tea and all have been spectacular! New friends and opportunities abound — looking forward to the upcoming days in Finland! 🇫🇮

For the last three days, @GovTimWalz and I have been in the U.K., leading a group of Minnesotans on a trade mission to highlight the important ways our state can strengthen our partnerships.

Here are a few highlights from the trip so far:

[Gwen Walz @FirstLadyMN]

We also visited @QMUL to learn about their successes in attracting and retaining a diverse student population from more than 162 countries! We had lunch with a few of their American students, including two who attend @UMNnews.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Our kids deserve to grow up in a state that values them for who they are – not one that tries to change them.

Today’s Executive Order will make sure of it.

(1/2) FREE STATE FAIR TIX, STATE PARK PASS AND MORE! Learn more about the reward program for the next 100K Minnesotans to get their first COVID-19 vaccine: https://t.co/u6stLgMKCu

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Minnesotans, join me today for a moment of silence to honor George Floyd on the anniversary of his death, a day that ignited a global movement for change.

Let us pause for 9 minutes and 29 seconds today at 1pm.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Today we announced a timeline to end capacity restrictions on May 28 and end the state masking requirement by July 1.

Minnesotans’ hard work and our nation-leading vaccination effort has put us in a strong position to safely transition toward life as we used to know it.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Last night’s shooting in Atlanta that targeted Asian Americans and their businesses was heartbreaking and abhorrent. Tragically, it wasn’t an isolated event. It follows an unacceptable rise in discrimination and racism targeting our Asian American community.

[Gwen Walz @FirstLadyMN]

Best wishes to all students, families, school staff, and communities as we navigate this state-wide return to the classroom.

One Country. One Destiny. (Daniel Webster, 1837). One Minnesota.

Our work begins anew and still lead by President Biden, First Lady Biden, Vice President Harris, and Second Gentleman Emhoff.

[Governor Tim Walz @GovTimWalz]

Every shot safely in a Minnesotan’s arm gets us closer to ending this pandemic. Today we launched a vaccine pilot program that will help us make the greatest possible impact by starting to serve educators, child care workers, and Minnesotans who are 65 and older.

[Gwen Walz @FirstLadyMN]

Tonight we will be reading ‘My First Menorah’ as we have done since 2004 when Leah Solo gifted Hope this book to learn about #Hanukkah and celebrate the start. Wishing all who celebrate a blessed and peaceful holiday! Chag Sameach from my family to yours.

[Gwen Walz @FirstLadyMN]

Since Hope and Gus were little (Hope is now 19 and Gus is 14) a favorite part of the holiday season has been looking at Christmas lights in Mankato. This year we had a great time putting a new spin on this tradition at @GLOWHoliday @mnstatefair!
