When Amy Klobuchar told you over and over she was going to do a top-to-bottom audit, she meant of your guns, not your tax dollars.

I just drove by a gas station offering $3.87 per gallon.
That same station had $4.39 over the weekend.
Now that I’m the election is over, “affordability” is a nonissue.
I want to sincerely thank everyone who supported this campaign, including the volunteers, donors, and neighbors who knocked on doors, put up signs, and trusted me with their vote. I am deeply grateful to each of you. I also congratulate Krish Subrahmanian on his victory.
I also want to recognize the voters of Senate District 49 for truly extraordinary participation. Nearly 80 percent of registered voters cast a ballot in this race, a rate far above the national average. It boggles the mind how civically active this district is. Political scientists may want to study how a district this civically active manages to be that way every cycle.
Thank you, Eden Prairie and Minnetonka, for an experience I will not soon forget.

The Minnesota media is starting to admit that the “blue wave” might actually end up being pretty purple.
Show up to vote, Republicans.
Save Minnesota.

Yes, enough is enough. It's time for change.
I was glad to be a part of the roundtable discussion and this conference.
WATCH: Republican gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth says Minnesotans have had “enough” after a series of recent public safety incidents.
“What we are hearing across the state of Minnesota is that now it is enough. Enough is enough,” Demuth said.
She pointed to recent Somali gang violence in Eden Prairie, Edina, and Bloomington, as well as the alleged Mall of America terror attack plot.
The Walz administration sat on fraud warnings for YEARS.
Today the newly enacted Office of Inspector General cannot build its own law-enforcement bureau until 2028, because DEMOCRATS in the Legislature tried to strip it from the bill and settled for a delay.
When elected, I will carry the bill to start it now, stop payments the moment fraud is credibly flagged, and put the people who stole this money in front of a judge.
Minnesota has had it with fraud.
Minnesota deserves better!
Vote this Tuesday, November 3rd!

Parents in Eden Prairie rightfully want accountability after the homecoming shooting.
Police should remove the people starting fights before a Friday night game turns into a crime scene.
Repeat offenders belong off the street.
Enforce the laws already on the books.

Topic: School shooting
0:00 - An Eden Prairie parent urges the school board to release aggregate data on how many students were disciplined after a recent football game fight, warning that a lack of accountability is driving families to consider leaving the district.

🔸2:50 - “Safety requires accountability.”
3:17 - A parent argues that the district’s safety report is a rubber stamp that ignores staff concerns and the
recent shooting, urging the board to vote no on accepting the evidence.
🔸4:22 - “Three weeks after a shooting at our homecoming game, the position is nothing needs to change.”
🔸4:37 - “Real leadership, in my mind right now, looks like asking for a harder standard, not a rubber stamp.”

🔸9:19 - “I will tell you I went home angry that evening. I went home pretty hurt that evening.”

If the polls - in MN and nationwide - are off by the same margin they've been in most races lately, the GOP should do better than expected.
And the DFL knows this.
Which is why they're running the demoralization op. To gaslight you into staying home.

Cases like this are why the Office of Inspector General needs its own law-enforcement bureau now, not in 2028.
A dashboard alone does not put people in prison.
I will vote to start the bureau so fraud can be investigated and prosecuted.
BTW: Early voting is open.

A Minnesota appeals court today reinstated a jury’s guilty verdict in a $7.2 million Medicaid fraud case.
The trial court had thrown it out. The appeals court said the jury had enough evidence.
That is the kind of case that needs a law-enforcement bureau that can investigate and arrest, not just a dashboard and not a reshuffle.
The Office of Inspector General still cannot establish its own bureau until 2028. I will vote to start it now.

This past Friday, @HoudekforMN and I attended a candidate listening session hosted by @TonkaSchools. The superintendent spent most of the hour walking through the district's budget, and he pointed to three state decisions that are weighing on it.
Paid family leave. Teachers now step away for weeks instead of days. The district still has to find a substitute and pay for one, and that substitute is rarely qualified to teach the subject.
Free breakfast. The state pays for the food. It does not pay for the staff needed to supervise students while they eat.
Summer unemployment. State pressure to treat seasonal and hourly staff, like bus drivers, more like year-round employees. The superintendent said the district cannot absorb that cost on its current budget.
All three trace back to laws passed in 2023, when the DFL controlled the House, Senate and governor's office.
It was plain to see that the mandates passed at the Capitol come with a bill the state does not fully cover. The district pays it. Taxpayers pay it. And some students pay it, losing their regular teacher for weeks at a time and getting a substitute who often is not qualified to teach the subject.
When I'm Senator, I will not be voting in favor of unfunded mandates.
Minnesota Deserves Better!

Change means a Friday night football game in Eden Prairie ends when the clock goes to zero, not with an evacuation.
Change means I will vote to fund the local police departments and to keep repeat offenders off the street.
Change means I will vote to push real fraud enforcement now, not wait until 2028.
Change means I will vote to stop unfunded mandates that shift state costs onto our property-tax bills.
I don’t sign pledge cards. I answer to this district.

Minnesota math proficiency was already sliding for six straight years before COVID ever hit, from 61% in 2013 down to 55% by 2019.
Then it collapsed to around 45% and has stayed there ever since, never recovering.
This isn't a pandemic story. It's a decade-long trend under the same DFL leadership that keeps telling Minnesotans we're the "education state" while pouring more money into a system producing worse outcomes year after year.
More spending isn't the fix if the results keep getting worse.
Minnesota's kids deserve an education system that's actually accountable for results, not just funding increases.

This November, it's time for change. Eden Prairie and Minnetonka, meet your candidate for State Senate.
A voter sent me this today.
Excellent penmanship.
Even better judgment.

A reminder of how the Minnesota legislature's last session actually started.
In November 2024, DFL candidate Curtis Johnson won a Roseville-area House seat. A judge then found he had broken Minnesota’s residency law, and that the violation was deliberate, serious, and material. Johnson resigned before taking office.
A tied House became a temporary 67–66 Republican edge.
All 66 remaining House Democrats refused to appear.
From opening day, January 14, until a deal in early February, the DFL denied a quorum.
The chamber did not work.
That was a choice on behalf of the DFL: Obstruction after their own endorsed candidate broke the rules, instead of seating a House and doing the job.
I will show up.
This district should expect that of a senator.
Minnesota Deserves Better.
