MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR MINNESOTANS

What We Passed

  • A balanced budget focused on Minnesota’s needs with no new taxes on you and your family and $1 billion in relief.

  • Reform that prioritizes economic recovery and ending restrictions to support struggling main street businesses and workers hit hardest by this pandemic.

  • Legislation reining in charitable bail organizations (CBO) that have been side-stepping Minnesota’s criminal justice system, bailing out violent and repeat offenders who put victims and the public at risk.

  • Public safety funding focused on keeping Minnesotans safe, protecting victims and ensuring those who break the law are penalized.

  • Healthcare legislation that focuses on lowering costs for consumers and saving taxpayers money while increasing efficiency and ensuring Minnesotans receive a higher quality of care.

  • The Unilateral Emergency Powers Repeal Act to ensure tyrannical abuse of emergency powers never happens again, and Minnesota restores its commitment to respecting our democratic process.

  • Transportation funding that prioritizes commuter safety and improves Minnesota’s many roads and bridges.

  • We invested in farmers in the fields instead of bureaucrats in St. Paul, trusted farmers to manage their land and invested in the next generation of farmers.

  • Election protections designed to bar the expansion of ranked-choice and other attacks that would undermine Minnesota’s elections while also supporting voter ID.

What We Stopped

  • More than $5 billion in proposed tax increases on Minnesota families and businesses.

  • The Governor’s plan for government-run healthcare, blocking efforts to move Minnesota down the path to single payer.

  • Efforts to undermine public safety, including legislation that would defund and demoralize our police and law enforcement.

  • The continuation of one-man rule and Governor Walz’s abuse of emergency powers.

  • A gas tax and other burdensome mandates that would make transportation more expensive for Minnesotans.

  • Crippling regulations on businesses and workers who have struggled to survive over the last year.
