If a "clean CR" spikes my constituents’ health insurance premiums, it’s not clean. It’s dirty and puts the interests of the richest Americans ahead of Minnesota and I won’t vote for it.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

'No Kings' isn’t just a slogan. It’s a call to save democracy before it’s too late.

In June, millions of Americans rose up in the largest single-day mobilization in modern history. Today, we’re doing it again, but bigger.
