My coalition is statewide. I’m going everywhere. I’m talking to everyone. I’m working to bring people back to the (Democratic Party).

We just saw one of our best Senate opportunities go down in flames in Maine, potentially, with that same coalition.

Primary voters, if they care about winning, do they care that selecting Peggy Flanagan is putting in the person who’s been responsible for the last eight years’ No. 2 in state government?” said the congresswoman. “Republicans are dying to…

If there are issues that our community cares about, I’ll work with them. If they’re attacking our community members, I’ll fight like hell against them,” Craig said. “I can punch with one hand and I can extend with the other. I have no…

Most Minnesotans don’t have the luxury of choosing a subcaucus over a Saturday soccer game with their kids. Most Minnesotans can’t choose a convention over a closing shift, and most Minnesotans can’t put a delegate vote over driving their…

It’s not really democracy when 1,200 people get to pick who our candidates are in America. It doesn’t allow every voice to be heard.

I’ve won a district that Donald Trump carried. The job of our Senate candidate is to hold this U.S. Senate seat and to help DFLers up and down the ticket.

As a mom, I know how important youth sports are for our kids, but thanks to private equity firms monopolizing sports leagues and jacking up prices for parents, sports are becoming less and less accessible to everyday folks.

I’m a proud DFLer. Every letter has meaning to me. But the DFL endorsement process just doesn’t reflect the full scope of the party that we are. And the purple state that we have become.

I do believe there is a compromise between better testing and creating rifts between our trusted exporters. The minority would be happy to work with the majority and the Congressman on honey regulation through FDA, but we don't believe…

I will say it is great news. It is good news. We got a new date. We are going to get a vote on year-round E15 on May 13. That is terrific news... I hope that we do get our long-awaited vote on year-round E15. The last time E15 year-round…

just wow. Just wow. That entire speech is just wow. At the end of the day, we are sitting here talking about the farm bill, and this amendment does nothing to materially address the very real issues farmers are facing as they look at…

As the only Marylander on the House Ag Committee, I rise to speak about what is at stake in this farm bill for our farmers and also for rural America. The ag sector is personal to me, as I grew up in a farming family in Idaho, a potato…

Mr. Chair, rise in support of this amendment. The Biorefinery, Renewable Chemical, and Biobased Product Assistance Program is a popular and successful program at USDA to support new and emerging technologies for biobased products. This…

better late than never bipartisanship. We are happy to agree to these amendments en bloc, and I would be proud to support it. I just want to say that some of the rhetoric though coming out and the lack of fact-based--it is not that…

I want you to imagine a single mom who is on the SNAP program--remember, this is $6.20 a day--who wants to put a four-pack--remember, no one can afford six-packs anymore because everything is too expensive--wants to purchase a four-pack of…

Mr. Speaker, in this rule is additional funding for ICE and CBP. Let's talk about Minneapolis. Let's talk about the fact that two U.S. citizens were murdered on the streets of Minneapolis. There is no way in hell Democrats are going to…

Mr. Chair, USDA loan programs have helped thousands of farmers and ranchers access the capital they need to feed people throughout the Nation and beyond. Opening up these critical loan programs to the vague and broadly defined ``fish…

Mr. Chair, it is now nearly 11 o'clock at night. This is nuts. What the hell is wrong with you people? You guys are bringing this farm bill to the floor 3 years late in the middle of the night. It is prime time in Guam, for God's sake…

no one deserves to go hungry and SNAP must be protected, not cut.

This is such a slap in the face to America’s family farmers who are hurting like crazy right now because of Trump’s trade war.

Every summer, grains planted by hardworking Minnesotans cover around 40 percent of my district. U.S. grain standards are a key component of foreign trade and the promotion of American agricultural exports. The inspections and…

The planned reorganization announced by the agriculture secretary without notice or input from Congress or key stakeholders and constituencies demonstrates that this administration failed to learn the lessons from previous similar efforts…

Soon, the Minnesota Lynx will play the New York Liberty at home in Minneapolis. As some Minnesotans may remember, I made a friendly wager with a New York Member of Congress last year at the beginning of the Minnesota Lynx-New York Liberty…

this Republican budget is a betrayal of the American people. It puts in jeopardy food assistance for 42 million Americans. That is children, seniors, the disabled, and working parents. Mr. Speaker, 1.2 million veterans rely on SNAP for…
