Our democracy, the rule of law, and our neighbors are all under assault by the Trump administration and MAGA majorities in Congress. Our country’s future is at risk. Now is the time for tested leaders in Congress to hold President Trump accountable, stop the MAGA agenda, and restore responsible governance that will lead to transformational change with Democrats in power.
I will continue to take on the rising costs of healthcare, housing, food, and fuel that are making life unaffordable – all resulting from failed Republican policies. We must reverse the dangerous and deadly climate denial policies and at the same time protect our Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness from the dire threat of toxic mining.
President Trump’s reckless, irrational tariffs and illegal war of choice in Iran have sent costs soaring for Americans, making life increasingly unaffordable for all of us. I have voted (and will continue to do so) to end Trump’s tariff tax increase and this illegal war of choice against Iran. I’ve voted to extend Affordable Care Act tax credits for buyers on the individual health insurance marketplace, who’ve seen skyrocketing premiums as a result of Republican attacks on our healthcare.
Trump’s “drill, baby, drill” policies are condemning future generations to an uninhabitable planet that threatens human existence. In Congress, I’ve steered funding to climate and clean energy as smart investments that protect our plant. We must elect a Congress (and president in 2028) that will pass the Green New Deal to make federal investment in green jobs and transition the economy to net-zero emissions in ten years.
Without one Democratic vote, Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill and cruelly stripped healthcare and food assistance away from tens of thousands of Minnesotans. The social safety net must be protected from further Republican cuts and strengthened and expanded to meet the essential needs of our neighbors in need. That includes achieving single-payer universal health care, expanding housing supply and affordability, and tuition-free community college.
The greatest threat to fair U.S. elections is Donald Trump. He is actively trying to rig the 2026 election by undermining trust in the electoral system, threatening state election officials, and trying to impose mandatory voter ID laws to disenfranchise millions of Americans who are eligible to vote. Every voter must remain vigilant to protect our right to vote. I am proud of Minnesota’s election process and Minnesota voters for having the highest turnout and the most secure elections.
It is my absolute honor and privilege to represent the people of the Fourth District in Congress. Serving in Congress during our nation’s 250th anniversary and during the Trump administration is a sobering reminder of the fragility of our democracy. "A republic, if you can keep it" were Benjamin Franklin’s words after the Constitutional Convention. It is my duty as a Member of Congress to represent my constituents and to ensure we preserve our Republic.
The U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority has established a pattern of siding against our fundamental rights – voting rights, reproductive rights, and human rights. Democrats must regain control of the Senate to put a firewall against Trump’s radical judicial appointments, and then win the White House in 2028 to ensure fair and ethical federal jurists are nominated to the federal bench. I support legislation to impose an enforceable ethics code on Supreme Court justices.
