State of the State

On Wednesday evening Governor Walz delivered his State of the State address to the Legislature. His speech was the most divisive and political State of the State I’ve seen during my time here in the Legislature.

In times such as these, we must focus on bringing people together and collaborating to solve Minnesotans’ most pressing problems whether it’s honoring our fallen Pope County deputy, funding our nursing homes in crisis, or cutting taxes and returning the surplus. None of these issues made an appearance in this week’s speech. We must do better Minnesota.

Omnibus Bill Update

This past week we’ve heard and debated a variety of omnibus bills on the House Floor. This week the DFL passed their Higher Education, State Government, Transportation, Agriculture, and other budget bills off of the Floor, chipping away at the surplus and raising your taxes one by one. House Republicans are working to deliver meaningful change for Minnesotans and reign in spending but there is little else we can do when none of our amendments to these bills are taken.
