Congratulations to Scott Colom on flipping Mississippi’s Senate seat blue for the first time in nearly 40 years! What a great senator he will be!
I was honored to be in Woodbury this morning with Mayor Burt and so many Minnesota veterans and their families. As we paid tribute to those who served, a bald eagle flew by. What a fitting tribute.
Thank you to all of Minnesota’s veterans for your service and your sacrifice.
Today, and every day, we honor the sacrifice our veterans have made for our country. There wasn’t a waiting line when they signed up to serve, and there shouldn’t be a waiting line for the support they need when they’re home.
Thank you to all our veterans, service members, and military families. 🇺🇲
Minnesota showed up on Election Day, and I will show up for you as your next governor. Regardless of whether I got your vote, you will get my best.
Today marks 51 years since 29 crew members aboard the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, including two Minnesotans, lost their lives on Lake Superior. We remember each of them and their families, who have kept their memory alive all these years.
Millions of Americans lost their health insurance because of federal health care cuts. If the health care premium tax credits do not get restored in Washington, I will get it done as Governor at the state level.
The last time I saw Senator John McCain, he pointed to a line in one of his books and told me to always remember it: “There’s nothing in life more liberating than fighting for a cause larger than yourself.” He taught me so much about working with people you don’t always agree with to get things done. That’s the spirit I’m bringing to this job.
The election is over, and now it’s time to get to work. There may be headwinds from Washington, but they cannot be an excuse for inaction.
Highway 610 is now the Hortman Memorial Highway, a fitting tribute to Speaker Melissa Hortman, who fought for this project and helped secure its funding. We will never forget all that Melissa and Mark did for Minnesota.
Will the Real the Senator Stand Up trivia: When Scott Colom becomes the next Senator for Mississippi (and he will) there will be FOUR identical twins in the Senate Democratic Caucus — Patty Murray, Brian Schatz, Mark Kelly and yes, Scott Colom!
Thank you, Minnesota, for putting your trust in me. I will be a governor for every one of you, and I’ll work every single day to deliver results you can see and feel in your life.
Congratulations to Sen. Jordan Rasmusson and Rep. Harry Niska as the next Republican leaders in the Minnesota Senate and House. I look forward to working with both of you to get things done for Minnesota.
Congratulations to Senate Majority Leader Erin Murphy, Senate President Bobby Joe Champion, and Deputy Majority Leader Nick Frentz!
Together, we will get results for Minnesota.
Congratulations to the next Minnesota House Speaker, my friend Rep. Zack Stephenson, and to Rep. Jamie Long and Rep. Samantha Sencer-Mura, our next House Majority Leader and House Majority Whip!
I can't wait to get to work with you! Lots of challenges and good work ahead.
Thank you to every volunteer who knocked doors, made calls, walked in parades, and showed up for our ticket. Because of you, we have the opportunity to bring Minnesotans together and move our state forward.
Sending lots of love to Chris Murphy and his family. Wishing him a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing him back in the Senate.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) was discharged from the hospital Friday after suffering a stroke last week and expects to be absent from the Senate for several weeks, according to his office. wapo.st/4sRt7I4
