How we keep Minnesotans safe

Dear John,   I hope you had a wonderful week! We wrapped up our last week of session here in DC for the year. As we finished our final legislative week in DC, I wanted to share a bit about two bills I’ve been focused on these past few weeks. As I’m sure is the case for many of you,…

The big 6-0

Dear John,   Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week.   I wanted to touch on one thing before I get started with my regular update. On Wednesday, the IRS announced that they will be taxing the rebate checks sent to Minnesotans earlier this year. This decision shocked me…

Thank you, Thomas and Jack

Dear John,   I think it’s safe to say that winter officially began in the South Metro earlier this week! I hope you’re gearing up for another Minnesota winter. I wanted to share a special moment from this week. On Wednesday, I had the honor of delivering the stories of two U.S. Army…

Working together to keep the government open

Dear John,   This week, it felt like the United States House of Representatives was finally back to normal – or as normal as it could ever be. Committees were meeting, votes were happening. But when I got to Washington this week, I was worried. The bill we passed in late September …

Honoring Minnesota’s veterans in the way they deserve

Dear John,   This week was a tremendously challenging one in the House of Representatives. We were presented with two very difficult votes related to the Israel/Hamas war and related issues. I believe that elected officials have a responsibility to be transparent with their constit…

Gun safety reform – now

Dear John,   Today, my heart is heavy for those lives forever changed by Wednesday’s horrific shooting in Lewiston, Maine. No one should have to endure the level of heartbreak that has become all too commonplace across Maine and across the United States. It’s time that we stop legi…

The House needs to get back to work

Dear John,   I wish I were coming to you today with better news – but here we are: the House of Representatives has gone nearly three weeks without a Speaker of the House. Republicans are nowhere close to electing a new leader and the House is at a standstill. Right now, we should b…

Bipartisan support for Israel

Dear John,   Last night, I attended a vigil at the U.S. Capitol for the victims of a terrorist attack in Israel.     The depraved violence we’ve seen inflicted on innocent civilians in Israel over the past several days has been nothing short of horrifying. My wife is Jewish. Th…

What’s next for the House of Representatives? Bipartisanship, I hope

Dear John,   A lot has happened since we last spoke. On Saturday, the House passed a temporary bipartisan bill to keep the government up and running while we work on a budget. And on Tuesday, House Republicans called a vote to remove Kevin McCarthy from his role as Speaker of the H…
