Public programs only work when taxpayers trust their dollars are being used responsibly. When fraud and abuse go unchecked, that trust disappears quickly. Strengthening oversight and holding bad actors accountable must be a priority. #mnleg

One of the best parts of this job is hearing directly from people across the district. Conversations with farmers, teachers, and small business owners provide valuable insight into what’s working and what isn’t. Those voices matter when decisions are made at the Capitol.

Representing rural Minnesota means reminding people at the Capitol that our communities face different challenges. Healthcare access, workforce shortages, and economic development look very different in small towns than they do in the metro. Policy should reflect those realities.

Minnesota is full of great small towns, each with its own history and traditions. Some of the best places in our state don’t always get the attention they deserve. What’s a small town in Minnesota that more people should visit?

The latest fraud prevention package isn’t going to solve Minnesota’s problems. I’m focused on real solutions to combat fraud. That means strengthening the OIG, restoring county-level oversight, and updating outdated systems so agencies can catch problems earlier. #mnleg

As the legislative session continues, one thing is clear: tough decisions are unavoidable. The question is whether we choose accountability and stability or continue practices that leave taxpayers and communities exposed. I will continue to fight for the best for Minnesotans

Noncompliance isn’t bold; it’s risky. HF1 alignment protects funding, flexibility, and stability in health care. #mnleg

Fraud isn’t a paperwork issue — it’s a taxpayer issue. Oversight and accountability matter. #mnleg

Ensuring conformity with H.R. 1 protects Minnesota’s access to federal health care funding, while cracking down on fraud is essential to restoring trust and protecting taxpayers. Rural hospitals, independent pharmacies, and mental health access will remain top priorities.

The 2026 Legislative Session begins TOMORROW (2/17), and I’m ready to get back to work for our district. As Chair of the Health Committee, my priorities are clear: protect rural health care, hold government accountable, and safeguard taxpayer dollars.
