.@CD1MNGOP statement on tonight's election results👇

Minnesota congressman SLAMS Walz's bureaucratic machine that's hurting families. @RepFinstad: "We have daycares in southern Minnesota getting fined for leaving ChapStick on their office desk ... They can find the time to do that, but they can't find the $9 billion. Ridiculous."

President Trump’s administration is dismantling the Minnesota-based Somali fraud networks that looted hundreds of millions of dollars from American taxpayers. American taxpayers deserve complete transparency. The prosecutions will continue.

Early this morning, American service members removed Nicolás Maduro - a criminal  narcoterrorist and dictator who ruled through corruption and fear. Today, our country and the world are safer, and the Venezuelan people have a chance to reclaim their democracy.    Maduro’s drug trafficking networks have fueled violence across our hemisphere and are responsible for the deaths of thousands of Americans. Thanks to President Trump’s leadership, Maduro will now face justice for his crimes against the American people.   Thank you to the brave service members who carried out this decisive mission, sending a clear message of why the American military is the best in the world.

Not only today, but every day we thank our Veterans for their selfless service to our country. From the front lines to our front doors, we know that freedom isn’t free. Thank you to all Veterans!

I'm once again honored to receive President @realDonaldTrump's complete and total endorsement as I seek re-election. I will continue to work closely with President Trump to deliver on our conservative mandate and WIN for southern Minnesota!

President Trump gets it done. Thanks to his leadership, China is returning to the table and committing to major U.S. soybean purchases. Just another example of this administration’s commitment to boosting our farmers, strengthening our economy, and putting America first again. axios.com/2025/10/30/tru…

Yesterday, I joined Chairman Thompson to discuss Democrats putting SNAP at risk for the working families who need to put food on their tables. This shutdown could end today if Democrats choose common sense over politics and put the American people first.

Tim Walz: Democrats are "not willing" to open up the government because they won't let "an authoritarian president do whatever he wants." This shutdown has always been about Radical Democrats' hatred of President Trump.

Last week, I spoke with Freeborn County Board of Commissioners Chairman Brad Edwin about recent issues impacting the county’s ICE detention facility, including delayed federal payments and medical expense concerns that my office has been helping to resolve. It’s an honor to represent #MN01 in Congress, and I am committed to ensuring counties aren’t left footing the bill for federal or state responsibilities.

A quick update from D.C. on Day 23 of this needless shutdown. Time to put people over politics and get Congress back to work.

🚨 @WhipKClark, the number two House Democrat, on the Democrat Shutdown: "Of course there will be families that are going to suffer... but it is one of the few leverage times we have." These people are SICK!

Our House-passed CR puts Americans first. The Democrat Shutdown puts Americans LAST. Let’s end the political theater and get back to work.

House Republicans acted responsibly and passed a clean, bipartisan resolution to keep the government open. Instead of working with us to protect families, veterans, and small businesses, Democrats are pushing the country toward a reckless shutdown to score political points.

No student should sit in a classroom with a teacher who glorifies violence. After a MSU Mankato professor’s reprehensible remarks on Charlie Kirk, and his history of inflammatory language, I urge the university to act. Students deserve an education rooted in respect, integrity, and safety.

Pleased to see Iowa State University take swift action to uphold accountability and standards on campus. Minnesota State University should follow suit – no school employee who glorifies violence belongs in front of the classroom. thegazette.com/higher-educati…

Charlie Kirk was such a bright mind and light to this world. His faith, knowledge, and voice inspired so many. Let’s not allow evil to win by letting his work die with him, but instead pray that those who have heard him will use their faith and reason to be beacons of hope, common sense, and courage…out of darkness will come light.
