September 7th is an important day in Northfield, MN. In 1876 our single bank was raided by the Jesse James and Cole Younger gang. Ordinary people made sure they didn’t decimate our town by standing together. We did it then and we’re still doing it now in 2026. I’m so proud of my Defeat of Jesse James Days Visit Northfield Downtown Northfield MN

DFLers are fighting to make life more affordable for ALL Minnesotans. I was a co-sponsor on a bipartisan bill to make sure the refunds through the 340B program stay with our local hospitals when we buy medications!
