Middle Class Opportunity

Minnesotans believe in hard work, fair play and personal responsibility. I do, too. Minnesota has always stood for opportunity through hard work. Read more…

Veterans

With the war in Iraq American men and women in uniform and their families have endured challenges that are unprecedented in recent history, including unrelenting operational demands and repeated deployments in combat zones. Read more…

Seniors

Seniors are already a growing part of Minnesota's population–and they will become even more so as the Baby Boom generation retires. Minnesota already has the second longest life expectancy of any state in the country. Read more…

National Guard & Reserves

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have highlighted the importance of our brave citizen-soldiers in the National Guard and Reserves–and the sacrifices they have been called upon to make. Read more…

Homegrown & Renewable Energy

Agriculture & Rural Communities

Minnesota's 80,000 farms represent a proud part of our state's heritage and history. We are the nation's fifth largest agricultural producing state, and our farmers contribute more than $10 billion to Minnesota's economy each year. Read more…

National Security

Protecting our nation–and the freedoms we cherish as Americans–from those who would do us harm is first and foremost among the duties of Congress. Accordingly, defending the United States, the American people and our Constitution is my highest priority as Minnesota's U.S. Senator. Read more…

Public Safety

For eight years, I was the chief prosecutor for Minnesota's most populous county, serving more than one million residents in Minneapolis and 45 suburban communities. I know that government's first responsibility is to protect the safety of its citizens. Read more…
