John — we wanted to make sure you saw the Governor’s note on Minnesota’s historic $7.7 billion budget surplus. From the start of the pandemic, Governor Walz said we didn’t need to choose between saving lives and protecting our economy. The numbers released by the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget this week prove he was right. It’s terrifying to imagine how the past two years would have played out if we had a COVID-19 misinformation peddler leading our state. And with Minnesota at the top of the right-wing’s list, we’re not out of the woods yet. When our 2021 fundraising numbers are made public for the FIRST TIME shortly after the New Year, they need to send the clear message that Minnesotans have Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan’s back. If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you, Team Walz-Flanagan John, Today, the Minnesota Department of Management and Budget announced our state has a historic budget surplus of $7.7 billion. Despite all the unprecedented challenges we’ve faced over the past two years, the numbers are clear: Minnesota’s economy is strong and growing. This surplus puts us in the strongest position in state history to lower costs for Minnesotans’ everyday expenses, invest in the middle class, and provide relief to those still recovering from the pandemic. Lt. Governor Flanagan and I are committed to seizing this opportunity to expand economic opportunity for all Minnesotans and move our state forward in meaningful and lasting ways. But we can’t do it alone. The same Republicans who, when COVID-19 first hit, tried to sell us the false bill of goods that we would have to choose between saving lives and protecting our economy are trying to take us backward.
