    Too often, Minnesota families can't access quality, affordable child care. I’ve made it a top priority to fix this problem. Today I visited Sprouts Childcare and Early Education Center in Stewartville, which will help address a shortage of child care in the area.

    Not everyone wants or needs to go to a four-year college. But everyone should be able to find a good-paying career. That’s why I fought to get my provisions to improve career and technical education included in a bipartisan bill that was signed into law.

    I’m pressing to investigate a rare, polio-like disorder that is on the rise—multiple children in MN have been diagnosed with it. We need to determine the cause of the outbreak & the best course of treatment & prevention to keep families healthy.

    Students should be able to access the mental health care they need. I’m glad the Pres will soon sign into law a package of bills to tackle the opioid crisis. Part of this package is a bipartisan bill that I co-wrote to ↑ access to mental health services in schools & communities.
