Nearly 70% of Minnesotans want to see a ban on assault weapons, but Republicans in the Legislature want to keep kicking the can down the road. We’ve heard Minnesotans loud and clear, that’s why we’re taking what action we can to protect our children.
Republican legislators refused to hold a vote on commonsense gun safety measures supported by nearly 70% of Minnesotans. That’s why I just signed the first executive actions taken by a Minnesota Governor focused on gun violence prevention.

This wouldn’t be possible without the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the advocates and utilities who are making Minnesota a leader in the clean energy transition.   I was excited to join folks up in Hermantown to celebrate!

Minnesota Power is making big upgrades to our electric grid – and it will mean cheaper, cleaner, more reliable power for homes & businesses.   These upgrades are seriously needed – the existing infrastructure is nearly 50 years old, well beyond its typical 30-year design life.

Today @POTUS & @SecVilsack will announce $7.3B in rural clean energy through the Empowering Rural America (New ERA) program. As the largest rural electrification investment since FDR's New Deal, this lowers energy costs for people in rural communities. ➡️ usda.gov/media/press-release…

A generation from now, nobody will remember what silly fight was getting politicians in the news back in 2024. But the things we’re fighting for in Minnesota will still stand. Better schools, cleaner water, and safer streets. A state that invests in our children and our future.
