Hey Bluesky!
Will you consider a donation to my campaign before 9/30? I’m looking to post big totals - both dollars raised and contributors - and your donation of $26 or more will help the message for change in Minnesota’s 6th District and across the US.
Thanks!

One of the biggest obstacles in negotiation is “refusing to take yes for an answer.”
That’s where Tom Emmer and the House GOP are right now. By refusing to lower Americans’ health insurance costs to end the shutdown, they’re being stubborn- or showing us they’d rather argue than find a solution.
