Rural Minnesota’s housing challenges go beyond building new homes. Rising costs, aging populations and limited options can slow housing turnover and make it harder for families and workers to find housing.

Great to be at @mn_agrigrowth 2026 Fall Summit. MN’s food & ag industry is a powerhouse — making up ~25% of the state’s economy, with 125K jobs & $9 bil in exports. Keeping MN competitive means investing in processing, infrastructure, innovation and the next generation of farms.

I am honored to be selected to lead this incredible organization!
The Minnesota Chamber Board of Directors has named Doug Stang (@ddstang) as its next President and CEO, succeeding Doug Loon on Dec. 1. "Doug brings a rare combination of corporate and legislative experience," said Loon. Read more: mnchamber.com/blog/minnesota…
Wait a minute - are you knocking the top of the ticket from the good ol’ days? 😂
That said - I agree 100% that this year’s MNGOP team is stellar. Having @Michele_Tafoya @LisaDemuthMN & @RonforMNAG running has been a breath of much needed fresh air for MN Republicans.
Demuth, Tafoya and Schutz are all awesome. I wish that when I was in office, I would've had the opportunity to run with that strong of a top of the ticket.
If they win next Tuesday, it will be because they worked hard and ran smart campaigns. If they lose, it will be because Donald Trump is a bad President doing a poor job.
Looking forward to joining an all-star panel today for @bomampls! @thauserkstp @toddrapp @ImThatMelissa & Ian Marsh.
Made some pretty spot-on predictions at this event in 2024 — including my call that the MN House would end up tied 67-67. We’ll see if lightning strikes twice! 🗳️
Always a great event! My prediction this time: MN Republicans will win at least one statewide race this year - ending the streak after 20 yrs. Which race or races? I’ll let everyone weigh in & debate that here. #mnpolitics #mngov #mnsen

Eagan friends & voters: Good local government isn’t about partisan politics. It’s about getting results. Eagan’s AAA bond rating and reputation for strong fiscal management speak for themselves.

On this date in 1991, Kirby Puckett made Game 6 of the #WorldSeries his own – and etched his name into @Twins history. ow.ly/RGS75100Zkb
Pretty cool way to kick off Mack’s first @Vikings game! Big thanks to everyone who makes the experience at @usbankstadium so awesome — especially Lester Bagley, @JohnTDrumJr & @michaelvekich. Skol Vikings - let’s keep the winning streak going! #SKOL 💜 🏈

A favorite part of this time of year is reliving the @Twins World Series wins of my youth - thank you @TwinsAlmanac
On This Date in 1987: With the bases loaded and two out in the bottom of the sixth in Game 6 of the #WorldSeries, the Cardinals brought in the lefty Ken Dayley to face Kent Hrbek, who hit his first pitch over the center-field fence for the biggest grand slam in Twins history.

Will national political groups make a late play in MN’s tightly contested Senate race?
I spoke w @kare11’s @kenterdahl about small-dollar fundraising, the GOP’s opportunity to compete in a state w a Dem winning streak & whether big outside $ will follow. kare11.com/article/news/poli…

The Cook Political Report shifted its rating of Minnesota’s U.S. Senate race toward Republicans, another sign that a contest Democrats once expected to win comfortably has become increasingly competitive in the closing weeks of the campaign. wapo.st/4dOOGm6
This is beyond insane. Not only is the ad disgusting & vile, it is very likely to backfire and damage Vivek’s (already slipping) campaign. Complete campaign malpractice. We’ll be using this as an example of what not to do as a “Hail Mary.”
SCOOP: Vivek Ramaswamy is doubling down on the explosive ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother attacking her daughter, putting $4 million behind it despite fierce bipartisan backlash

Wish this would’ve happened sooner but better now than never. National GOP $$ now being spent to support @Michele_Tafoya in MN’s closely contested US Senate race. #mnpolitics @NRSC
With the NRSC's coordinated buys from September, #MNSen makes it onto the big board as Senate race #14
