Honored to join @SecRollins yesterday to celebrate America’s 250th birthday. From family farmers to critical water infrastructure to hospitals and emergency services, @USDA works every day to support our rural communities. I am committed to working with Secretary Rollins and this administration to leave our backyard better for future generations.

According to @USDA’s recent report, Minnesota had a SNAP overpayment rate of 9.86%, equaling approximately $86 million in FY25. That’s $86 million stolen from taxpayers and not making it to our neighbors in need. This is absolutely unacceptable. fox9.com/news/snap-paym…

Acting Secretary of Labor @Sonderling47 and I recently visited @McNeilusSteel in Dodge Center for a tour of their facility. As a family-owned steel distributor and fabricator, McNeilus Steel has been a major private employer for the area since 1948. I appreciated the firsthand look at their operation and hearing their insights on southern Minnesota’s workforce and manufacturing industry.

The Farm Bill not only serves as a critical tool for our nation’s agriculture policy, but it also helps improve health access in rural areas, strengthens food security, and supports rural infrastructure development in the communities we call home. Read more about how my legislation in the 2026 Farm Bill brings increased investments for rural healthcare in the @WashTimes. ⬇️ washingtontimes.com/news/2026/jun/…

It was great meeting #MN01’s 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner in Washington, D.C. this week. Cheyenne and her family were in town for the Annual Congressional Art Competition Celebration Day, where students from across the country came together in the Capitol to celebrate their winning artwork. Proud to have her piece, “250 Years of Freedom,” representing southern Minnesota in the halls of Congress.

Yesterday, @USDA_FNA published the FY25 SNAP Payment Error Rates and Minnesota ranks among some of the highest. It’s high time our state officials take accountability, restore program integrity, and put an end to the waste, fraud, and abuse that we continue to see in our nutrition assistance programs.

USDA has released the annual SNAP Payment Error Rates (PER), a crucial quality control measure that evaluates each state’s accuracy in determining eligibility and benefits. Learn more: fna.usda.gov/newsroom/usda-…

The district also stated at a March 18, 2025, board meeting that it supports counselors by aligning with the American School Counselor Association (ASCA) model. ASCA integrated SPLC's Social Justice Standards and other Learning for Justice materials into its "Student Standard Mindsets/Behaviors."

Parents deserve transparency in their children’s curriculum. For those interested in the facts, here is what Rochester Public Schools presented in previous board meetings and now describes as “just a footnote.” RPS’s own documents show that SPLC’s Learning for Justice program, which promotes far-left ideologies, informed their practice.

This week, I joined Acting Secretary of Labor @Sonderling47 for a meeting with directors, managers, and engineers at Kerry. Kerry is a prime example of the top-notch science and innovation happening in #MN01, creating ingredients for our food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. Thanks for having us!

Included in H.R. 1, the largest investment in the farm safety net since the 2002 Farm Bill, was my bipartisan legislation, the FARMER Act. This bill strengthened crop insurance and made higher levels of coverage more affordable for producers. At this week’s @HouseAgGOP hearing, I discussed the importance of crop insurance with @USDA Under Secretary Richard Fordyce. ⬇️

ICYMI: @RepFinstad and Acting Secretary @Sonderling47 were in Rochester, Minnesota this week to hear from local business leaders about some of the challenges they face. With @POTUS in the @WhiteHouse, Job Creators have someone who HAS THEIR BACK in Washington, D.C. 👍🏼 🇺🇸
