The best way we can honor our veterans ahead of Veterans Day is by passing the Major Richard Star Act. As a Veteran, I proudly support the Major Richard Star Act and signed the discharge petition, which now has enough signatures to bring it to the floor for a vote. Our combat injured veterans should NEVER be forced to sacrifice the retirement and disability benefits they earned serving our country. My husband was injured in combat so this hits especially close to home for me and my family. Congress needs to get this done.

Tom Hauser and @KSTP spent the last 2 months downplaying Fraud. You don’t get to care about it now because it’s good for your ratings. Mainstream media is dead, it was a suicide.

Just now, Ranking Member @RepMarkTakano notified the House of an intention to proceed with the motion to vote on the Major Richard Star Act. @SpeakerJohnson has two days to set the final vote. It's time to finally prioritize our nation's veterans, Mr. Speaker.

No one seeks to serve in a legislative minority. Unlike the last DFL trifecta, which had a single-seat majority that required every Democrat to vote yes, they can now pass such Orwellian measures while allowing several common-sense members of their own party to vote no, and still pass them into law. This will be a legislative session like no other. I am grateful for my colleagues' support and trust in electing me to leadership. When the bills start dropping and the DSA crams through their agenda, I will be in the trenches, leading opposition messaging so Minnesota families can see what's being pushed through the legislature, have a chance to voice their opinion, and be part of this process. We must rebuild, rebrand, and market the American dream to Minnesota voters. I am honored to be part of the team. 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫-𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐌𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐒𝐞𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐬 ST. PAUL – Senator-elect Jeremy Munson (R–Lake Crystal) was named this week as an Assistant Leader of the Senate Republican Caucus following his election to represent District 22 in the Minnesota Senate. “I’m honored to be elected as an Assistant Leader of the Senate Republican Caucus,” said Munson. “This is an opportunity to advance the priorities of our district to the forefront of the caucus. We’ll be on defense as the minority caucus, but there’s never been a more important time to hold the line against the harmful Democrat policies we saw in the last Democrat trifecta, like raising billions in taxes and aggressively expanding state government.” This will be Munson’s first term as a state senator. He previously served three terms as a state representative from 2017 to 2022. In the House, he served on the Health Policy and Finance, Energy, Agriculture, and Redistricting committees. The Republican caucus also announced Sen. Jordan Rasmusson (Fergus Falls) as Leader, along with Sens. Julia Coleman (Waconia), Karin Housley (Stillwater), John Jasinski (Faribault), and Jeremy Munson (Lake Crystal) as Assistant Leaders. Two additional Assistant Leaders will be announced later. The 2027 legislative session begins on Jan. 12, 2027. ###
