CD-7 is the largest congressional district in Minnesota, yet it’s been more than 50 years since anyone from here has been elected to statewide office. I know what it looks like when a small town gets left behind. Together, Senator @amyklobuchar and I are going to change that.

I can’t end this night without thanking my 6 biggest supporters. Tessa and the kids have been incredible, and I’m so grateful for all their love and support.

Thank you, Minnesota! It’s been an honor to run alongside our next Governor Amy Klobuchar and to earn your trust tonight. Now, we’re ready to move our state forward and get to work for each and every one of you.

We closed out the last day of the DFL GOTV Bus Tour with stops in Brooklyn Park, Minnetonka, Cottage Grove, Minneapolis, and back to where it all started in Saint Paul. It’s been absolutely incredible to see so many of you from every corner of the state, now it’s time to bring this home. Tomorrow is Election Day, so make sure you get out and VOTE!

Minnesota’s rural economy is critical to the entire state, and keeping it strong is the only way we make sure people who grow up here have the opportunity to stay if they want to. Amy and I have a plan to make it happen. Read about it here: amyklobuchar.com/priorities/…

It was a beautiful day across northern Minnesota in Bemidji, Grand Rapids, Duluth, and Cloquet! People are showing up and turning out to vote across the state, and I know we can get the job done. 2 days to go!

Day 3 of the GOTV Bus Tour is in the books, and it was wonderful to see everyone in St. Cloud, Fergus Falls and Moorhead. Let’s win this, Minnesota!

It was absolutely incredible to be back home in Fergus Falls on the DFL GOTV Bus Tour! I can’t thank all of my friends and neighbors enough for showing up today just like they always have.

We need to make life more affordable for Minnesotans, and a great place to start is housing. Amy and I have a plan to work with the private sector to build more homes and bring down costs so people can find homes they can afford in every corner of the state. amyklobuchar.com/priorities/…

From the University of Minnesota to Shakopee to Northfield to Faribault people are fired up about this election. It was great to see everyone out there, and special thanks to my daughter Bea for coming along with us on her birthday!

Keeping our workforce strong is how we keep our economy strong. Amy and I have a plan to help open doors for young people and make sure they have a path to success, right here in Minnesota. Read the plan here: amyklobuchar.com/priorities/…

It was great to be in Fergus Falls at Ben and Tessa’s house. As the former Fergus Mayor and our next Lieutenant Governor, Ben is more than ready to lead. It’s been 90 years since someone from Minnesota’s 7th District has been elected to statewide office, and we’re ready to break that streak. But we can’t do it without your support. Make a plan to vote today!

Proud to be running with Amy Klobuchar – she’s going to be a transformative governor who gets results. As Rochelle Olson puts it, she’s one of our “most successful, driven and indefatigable leaders. She’s the choice for Minnesota’s next governor and it’s not even close.” startribune.com/mn-midterm-e…

Great to be in Eveleth for the Rukavina Dinner. Rep. Tom Rukavina was a champion for the North Country, public education, and our unions and I joined Tom’s daughter Ida and a full house of Iron Range DFLers in honoring that legacy.

Unions built Minnesota, and keeping Minnesota strong means supporting working families. I stopped in South St. Paul to talk to SEIU MN members before they headed out to knock doors, they’re fired up and all in to win this election.

Paul Wellstone taught us that “We all do better when we all do better.” Losing Paul, his wife Sheila, their daughter Marcia, and staff members Mary, Tom, and Will 24 years ago was a tragedy for our state. Today, we honor their memory by carrying on their legacy.

Senator Hauschild is a great leader from Northern Minnesota representing the largest district in the state. He knows what it means to show up and deliver for people, no matter their zip code. Amy and I are so excited to work with him on a pro-growth agenda for Minnesota!
