It’s official! I was proud to join @GovTimWalz in Minneapolis today as he signed background checks and extreme risk protection orders into law.
The team at @GIFFORDS_org worked with lawmakers day in and out to make this legislation a reality. I’m grateful to all of them. #mnleg

The Elections Omnibus is ready for a vote in the Senate and House as part of the State Gov and Elections Conference Committee Report.
There are a lot of big wins for our democracy in this bill, including...
Facilitating voting for people in assisted living facilities!
More transit reduces the use of cars and the air pollution that often follows. That's good for public health.
TY @MoveMinnesota !
Minnesotans need and deserve great public transit for our climate, our communities, and our daily lives. Calling on #mnleg to pass transformative public transit funding this weekend!! #fundtransitnow #getonboardmn #actonclimate
