This National Healthcare Quality Week, we recognize the doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals who work tirelessly to provide compassionate care to Minnesotans. Thank you for your commitment to serving others and improving lives across our state!

Every Minnesotan deserves the opportunity to enjoy a secure retirement after a lifetime of hard work. House Republicans fought to END the state tax on Social Security benefits, but Democrats said no. Our work to protect the retirement security of hardworking Minnesotans is far from over.

Giving thanks for the pastors who boldly proclaim God's Word, faithfully shepherd His people, and stand firm in the truth of Scripture. The Church does not need shepherds who follow the world, but shepherds who faithfully follow Christ. May God grant them courage, wisdom, and steadfast faithfulness in their calling.

This Free Speech Week, we celebrate the First Amendment and the fundamental right of every American to speak freely. We honor our Founding Fathers and the generations of Americans who have fought to defend this freedom.

Today marks the start of MEA weekend for the hard-working teachers across our state. House Republicans thank you for your dedication, attention, and the long hours you spend helping raise up the next generation of Minnesotans. 👩‍🏫🍎

Democrats are proposing costly tax increases that will only make living in Minnesota more unaffordable. Republicans have a plan too—and it won’t cost taxpayers more.

Today, we recognize the emergency nurses who are there when Minnesotans need them most. Thank you for your skill, compassion, and dedication to caring for patients in some of life’s most critical moments. Happy National Emergency Nurses Day!

Political disagreements are part of democracy. Intimidation and attempts to silence elected officials should never be.

Leader Harry Niska calls for civility and respect following the disruption at the Lincoln-Reagan dinner: "This kind of hateful, anti-speech behavior is absolutely unacceptable, and Minnesotans deserve better.” 👇

Happy Birthday to the United States Navy! ⚓ We honor the generations of sailors who have served our country with courage, sacrifice, and dedication. Thank you to every past and present member of the U.S. Navy for your service to our nation.

Today kicks off National School Lunch Week! Every student deserves access to healthy, well-balanced meals that help them learn, grow, and perform at their best. 🍎🚌📚

Today, we thank the farmers who work day in and day out to feed our families, support our communities, and keep Minnesota’s agricultural tradition strong. Happy National Farmer’s Day!

Today, we celebrate the strength of girls everywhere. Every girl deserves the opportunity to learn, pursue her goals, and build the future. On International Day of the Girl, we recognize the importance of empowering the next generation of women to succeed.

On World Mental Health Day, we recognize the importance of supporting those who may be struggling, checking in on the people around us, and making sure Minnesotans know they are not alone.

Three years later, the horror of October 7 has not faded. We remember the 1,200 innocent people murdered, the hostages torn from their families, and the countless lives forever changed by Hamas’ attack. Today, we honor the victims, stand with the Jewish community, and reaffirm our support for Israel and its right to defend its people. We will not forget.

Democrats aren’t even hiding the ball, they’re openly telling Minnesotans they want billions more in tax hikes in 2027, taking even more money out of your family budget. House Republicans have a different agenda: stop the fraud, cut taxes and make Minnesota more affordable, strengthen our schools, and make our communities safer.

Thank you to the young people, families, volunteers, and leaders across Minnesota who make 4-H such an important part of our communities. Happy 4-H Week!

October is National Fire Prevention Month. Take a few minutes to check your smoke alarms, create a fire escape plan, and make sure everyone knows what to do in an emergency.

"Instead of Minnesotans getting the services they need, DHS is sending money to fraudsters and keeping vital information from the Legislature – information we need to stop fraud going forward." @dawn_gillman
