I was lucky to spend this gorgeous fall Sunday talking to voters in St. Peter and at Gustavus about re-electing my #mnleg colleague Jeff Brand, and our @MinnesotaDFL majority to protect our freedoms, strengthen democracy and unrig the economy so it works for working people.
SoMn Pride Festival in @CityOfMankato 2024. All the ingredients: spirit, perfect weather, and a packed parade route and festival. Thx all. @RepJeffBrand@RepLFrederick
In Minnesota we know that team work makes the dream work 🤜💙🤛
It was wonderful to be with our Senate District 15 House DFL candidates Anthony Studemann (15A) and Tom Kuster (15B) and so many @minnesotadfl friends at the SD 15 Corn Feed. Great turnout and enthusiasm!
It’s my mission to help Minnesotans afford their lives, and live with dignity, safety, and respect.
I want to hear from you about what that takes. Share your story with me, Sen @NickAFrentz, @RepJeffBrand, and @RepLFrederick at a forum we’re holding in St. Peter this Saturday.
I'm at Wheeler Park in N Mankato w/ @RepLFrederick and @KathrynLozada celebrating our victories this legislative session. This didn't just happen. Organizers and activists across MN have been working for this moment for 10 years! It speaks to the power of grassroots people power.
Much was written about what got accomplished in this truly transformative legislative session, but much less has been said about how it happened. I will give my own perspective from where I sit. A🧵
In the North Star State, we just passed #DemocracyForThePeopleAct in the #mnleg House. The debate reflected the choice we have in front of us. Today, we choose democracy. We choose to be a North Star by strengthening multi-racial, multi-generation, gender-inclusive democracy ����️💙
What happened in Tennessee is the latest example of a broader erosion of civility and democratic norms. Silencing those who disagree with us is a sign of weakness, not strength, and it won’t lead to progress.
Today during a committee hearing, GOP Rep. Quam threw a bizarre and childish temper tantrum after trying to undermine Minnesota's elections.
@mnhousegop, surely your members can do better than shouting down their colleagues. #mnleg
Town Hall in Mankato today was packed! Thx to @RepLFrederick and @RepJeffBrand and to all the good citizens who turned out to discuss paid family leave, climate, reproductive rights, taxes, and much more. Respectful at all times. Democracy in action, to say the least. #mnleg
MANKATO — DFL lawmakers Sen. Nick Frentz, of North Mankato, Rep. Jeff Brand, of St. Peter and Rep. Luke Frederick, of Mankato, will host a joint town hall on Feb. 18. https://t.co/6ZV8bp4ftT
For decades, Minnesotans have asked the legislature to produce results throughout the session & not wait until the last few weeks. We've heard you & we're working to put bills on the Governor's desk earlier in the session. #mnleg
