Get your "Vote Betty!" lawn sign today

John, We have 112 days until Election Day, and reaching every single voter matters. If we’re going to end the corruption and cruelty of the Trump administration, we need to organize everywhere. One of the most effective ways you can help our campaign is by hosting a lawn sign. Putting a sign i…

This can’t wait

John, Our FEC public fundraising deadline is tonight at midnight, and after we close the books, our numbers will become public. That means Republicans, outside groups, political observers, and anyone looking for signs of weakness will be watching closely. As a senior leader in the House Dem…

I just ran the numbers

John, I just ran the numbers, and with our FEC public fundraising deadline coming up tomorrow at midnight coming up fast, we still have a lot of ground to make up. After this deadline, Republicans, outside groups, and political observers will all be able to see whether this grassroots team has…

Leading the charge

John, There are just two days left until our second major public fundraising deadline of the year, and we can’t afford to come up short. Donald Trump and his MAGA allies are crossing the line again and again — attacking our democracy, driving up costs, threatening health care, and targeting Mi…

Before Tuesday

John, I’ll get right to it: our end-of-quarter fundraising deadline is on Tuesday, and it’s one of the most important public tests we’ve faced so far this year. After June 30, our numbers will be reported publicly. That means everyone — Republicans, outside groups, and political observers — will b…

I have a primary opponent

John, As a senior leader in the House Democratic Caucus and as the Dean of the Minnesota Congressional Delegation, I’m fighting every day to hold the Trump administration accountable – to defend access to health care, to protect the Boundary Waters Wilderness, to stop ICE & CBP’s brutality, and t…

The risk to the Boundary Waters is too great

John, Trump and Republicans already stripped federal protections from one of Minnesota’s most beloved national treasures: our Boundary Waters Wilderness. Now, they’re going even further. A new provision tucked into a Republican funding bill would give Twin Metals and its foreign-owned paren…

We're running out of time

John, I've never been afraid to stand up to MAGA corruption, challenge reckless wars, or fight for the values that matter most to Minnesota’s working families. But standing up takes resources, and we can’t afford to fall behind. To make sure we’re prepared to defend Minnesota from the attacks co…

Before May ends

John, I just let Betty know that we still need to raise $11,490 to reach our monthly goal for May. These monthly deadlines are critical because they help us build the resources we need to hold this seat and win elections up and down the ballot here at home and across the country. We need B…

It’s not a piggy bank

John, Donald Trump is treating the presidency like a personal piggy bank. He’s using the federal government to reward MAGA loyalists, threaten political opponents, and enrich his own family. All while the rest of us get squeezed harder every day. Here in Minnesota, Trump is openly targeting…

On the ballot

John, It’s official: I have filed to run for re-election to Congress in Minnesota’s Fourth District. I’m running because now, more than ever, working families deserve a strong, steady voice in Washington — someone who will fight for our values, defend our democracy, and deliver real results. …

All politics is local

John, As the saying goes, all politics is local. Our campaign is strongest when neighbors are talking to neighbors, DFLers are showing up in their communities, and people who care about our democracy are willing to do the work it takes to win. That’s why I’m asking today: Will you sign up to volu…

Our boundary waters are at risk

John, Last month, Republicans in Congress voted to pollute one of our most beloved national treasures: the Boundary Waters. They lifted a ban on mining, opening the door for Twin Metals and its foreign-owned parent companies — corporations with troubling records of pollution and environmental…

We can’t wait until November

John, Trump and his allies in Congress are not slowing down. They're stripping health care from Minnesota families, letting ICE operate with impunity in our communities, and handing tax breaks to billionaires while working people fall further behind. And every single day, House Republicans are…

My Bill for Clean Drinking Water

We can’t afford to lose momentum

Betty’s fight to protect Medicare

John, Donald Trump promised to run the country like one of his businesses — and that’s exactly what he’s doing. He’s running our country into the ground. President Trump has gutted Medicaid and made healthcare unaffordable for many working families. Now he’s put the Medicare Part A trust fund at r…

We have to flip the House

John, The fallout from GOP control of D.C. is hitting home. President Trump and his allies in Congress have pushed reckless policies that are raising costs and ripping health care away from Minnesota families. Their Big Ugly Law strips coverage from 22,000 people in the East Metro alone. And b…
