Let’s go!

  john — I talk a lot about Minnesota values: lending a helpful hand to a neighbor, speaking out when something’s not right, letting people be who they are authentically, and most importantly, being kind and compassionate. These values guide me in my work every single day as a U.S. Se…

Rick Scott is trying to buy his Senate seat

  john, this is Debbie Mucarsel-Powell. I know you're busy, so I'll get right to it. MAGA Republican Rick Scott has already spent $4 MILLION this cycle on ads against Democrats like me. That's more than any other GOP Senate candidate so far this cycle. He wants you to think this means…

The Supreme Court

  john, it’s time to restore trust in the Supreme Court. Last week, President Biden published an op-ed in The Washington Post outlining his bold plans to add integrity and accountability to the courts. I’m excited by these plans, john. For a long time now, I’ve called on my colleagues…

The momentum of this moment

My opponent

  john, this is Amy Klobuchar. GOP-endorsed candidate Royce White is running against me in Minnesota. He’s an election denier. He thinks “women have become too mouthy.” He doesn’t support IVF and said overturning Roe v. Wade was the “single greatest thing my government has done in my …

“If they do not cheat, we win this state easily”

Lowering the ask

What you need to know about JD Vance

JD Vance and the Comstock Act
