I was a SNAP kid. Now I'm running for Congress against the guy who gutted SNAP.
Before going to Congress, I wanted to make sure there was absolutely nothing else I could do to bring down the cost of Thanksgiving dinner.

It was great to speak at the Minnesota Farmers Union Annual Convention this weekend! I shared what I've been hearing from farmers across southern Minnesota: we have to lower costs for our producers.

I’m proud to be the first 2026 candidate in Minnesota to earn the support of the National Education Association.
It’s time we elect a representative who will stop defunding public education and start investing in our communities.

On National Rural Health Day, we thank the doctors, nurses, and healthcare workers who keep our rural communities healthy.
In Congress, I’ll fight to reverse the recent ~$100 billion cuts from rural healthcare and make sure our small towns have the clinics, healthcare workers & resources they need.

Last night, the federal government started promoting vaccine conspiracy theories on the CDC’s website.
We should be investing in vaccines that stop preventable diseases, not undermining the science that prevents them.

Farmers in southern Minnesota are working hard, but the math isn’t working out.
Our farm families need lower input costs and lower everyday expenses to make the numbers add up.

Seven months into this campaign, I’m so proud of what we’re building. From picnics in Lakefield to ice cream socials in Owatonna, we’re building a movement to make life affordable in southern Minnesota.

I appreciated hearing from folks in Lake City about how the federal cuts to Medicaid will affect their access to healthcare. We have to do better for our small towns.

Folks are tired of watching the powerful and the well connected play by their own rules.
Congress should step up oversight of presidential pardons because no one, Republican or Democrat, should get a free pass because of their money or connections.

There's tax breaks for billionaires, there's bailouts for Argentina, but there isn't money for SNAP?
We need leaders who care more for the hungry than the wealthy.

We can do so much better than a congressman who made the largest cut to SNAP in American history. And it's truly unacceptable to see SNAP funds being held hostage for partisan political reasons right now.

I'm SO thrilled that the Byron school referendum passed last night. From only getting 42% of the vote last year, to getting over 53% this year, it's proof that we can do big things when we keep talking to our neighbors and never give up.

I am grounded in my faith and in my 20 years of service as a public school teacher. These cuts to SNAP betray our moral duty to care for the sick, the hungry, and the thirsty.
That’s the message I shared in front of Congressman Brad Finstad’s office on Monday.

Growing up in Stewartville, we needed help from Channel One Regional Food Bank to help fill in the gaps to put food on the table.
So it meant a lot to come back yesterday and have our campaign join with @ltgovflanagan.mn.gov, State Rep Tina Liebling, and so many others to pack some boxes.
