The front page of the paper can’t capture the sweat, blood, and tears that went into it, but it can capture the final results from a team I’m incredibly proud to be a part of. We did the damn thing. #FlipMNSenate

I am horrified and heartbroken by last night’s attack on two patriotic public servants—Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman. Melissa, John and their entire families are in my prayers today as we await more information. I hope law enforcement can quickly find those responsible and bring them to justice

These survivors deserve support—action is needed now.
