You’ve seen a lot of false attack ads and mailers, but Minnesotans know me. I’ll work my heart out to move us forward because I know there’s so much good ahead for Minnesota. I’m asking for your vote, and I’d be honored to have your support.

The cold didn’t stop Moorhead from showing up! Thank you to all the volunteers who are turning out to re-elect Sen. Rob Kupec and to support Erika Yoney and Thaddeus Laugisch for the Minnesota House. And good to see the 11th St. underpass that both Sen. Kupec and I worked to fund.

Planned Parenthood provides critical health care for women, and it was great to be at their annual gala with so many leaders who are standing up for women’s health. As Governor, I will stand up for women’s freedom to make their own health care decisions in Minnesota.

Here in St. Cloud, Apollo High School is offering students a hands-on learning opportunity with their new EMT classroom and ambulance bay.

Thank you to Sen. Aric Putnam and all the leaders who came together to make this project possible. As Governor, I will build on-ramps to good jobs in health care so Minnesotans can access the care they deserve.

The one and only John Legend and I united on the Minnesota Prince/Vikings purple theme last night. Thank you to the Northside Achievement Zone for bringing us together to celebrate your 15th anniversary, and for all the work you do to brighten the futures of Minnesota’s kids.

Ending a great Sunday in Fairmont with this group of fired up Minnesotans, helping me and Jake Johnson, our candidate for the 1st district congressional seat in Southern Minnesota! Getting out and talking to people is how we win — outside money can’t beat that.

Out in St. Peter today for a great door knock with District 18A candidate Leah Hanson, Rep. Luke Frederick, and an amazing group of volunteers! Nine days until Election Day, and Minnesotans are showing up.

Vikings win! Another incredible game from our defense and we held on for the win. 6-0! And congrats to Will Reichard for setting a new franchise record for the most consecutive field goals made. 🏈

Our veterans fought to protect our democracy, and I will stand up for our veterans as Governor. They deserve a leader who works for them. I have as Senator and I will continue to as Governor.

Twenty-four years ago we lost my friends Paul and Sheila, their daughter Marcia, and three dedicated members of his staff: Mary, Tom, and Will. Everyone who was in our state at the time remembers where they were when they learned of the horrific news of the plane crash.

That’s politics at its best. Bringing people with you. Not shutting them out. Doing your work with joy and believing that our democracy—with all its imperfections—is something to cherish and hold up.

Paul believed that politics was all about, in his words, improving people’s lives. Let’s remember that now and after the election. And when you vote this week (and you must) remember the good and why you’re doing it. 💚

In his last few years Paul had been diagnosed with M.S. and he couldn’t run back and forth in those parades any more. Instead he and Sheila would just stand on the back of that green bus and wave.

But what I most remember was this: they had inspired so many people to run with them over the years that there were hundreds of people—young and old—in their green Wellstone shirts running around that bus, creating so much energy for good that you didn’t even notice that Paul wasn’t running himself.

For me as a newbie in government back then Paul was a constant whirling dervish of a lesson in how to stay true to your North Star.

One time he asked me how a certain campaign was going and I said “the numbers look really good.” His response? “Really, I mean how does it feel out there? What are people actually talking about? What do they need?” He was right.

But we also remember the green bus, the indefatigable Paul running back and forth in parades, and the joy and the hope the Wellstones brought to our politics.

Always fun to cheer on the Gophers! Fall Saturdays and Gopher football — doesn't get much better than that! #SkiUMah 🏈💛❤️

Today is Vote Early Day. With only 10 days to go until the election, every conversation counts! I spent the morning in Lino Lakes with our incredible DFL candidates Rep. Matt Norris, Chris Ford & Doug Chapin and so many volunteers to help voters make a plan to vote.

The football game I’ve been waiting for! The Iowa Hawkeyes (not to be confused with various other birds from Atlanta) are in town to play our Golden Gophers and the Floyd of Rosedale is on the line! #SkiUMah #RowtheBoat!

From Bemidji to Rochester, from Fergus Falls to Duluth, Forum papers serve communities across our state and cover the issues that matter most to them. I'm grateful to be the first Democrat running for Governor to receive their endorsement in 24 years.

Minnesota needs a governor who puts Minnesota first. Unlike my opponent, I’m not Donald Trump’s choice. I’m not Mike Lindell’s choice. I’m not the choice of a billionaire from Wisconsin. And I am not the chief author of a bill that would ban abortion and send doctors to jail.

Multiple dark money mailers against me are being sent out all over the state to suppress votes ahead of the election. They’re mailed by a group linked to out-of-state dark money with no website and a fake return address.

Nicole Smith-Holt lost her son Alec because he couldn’t afford his insulin, and she took on Big Pharma to fight for affordable insulin reform. I’m honored to have her support. As Governor, I will continue to stand up to Big Pharma and fight to lower prescription drug costs.

Lisa Demuth doesn’t want to talk about it, but it matters: she was the lead author of a bill to ban abortion – with no exceptions for rape or incest – and to put doctors in jail. And earlier this year, she said she supports overturning the court case protecting abortion in Minnesota.

Happy birthday John! And the “first kiss” goes to you, State Fair apples and all! Thanks for being the 🍎 of my eye (and always liking puns and dad jokes). You are a wonderful husband and dad to Abigail and we love you!

I’ll never forget what the parents of Harper — who was killed in the Annunciation Church shooting — told me: change is possible and necessary. I’m grateful they joined me today to keep fighting for that change.

My opponent met with them in their living room and promised them she would allow a vote on a common-sense gun safety package. She broke that promise to them. As Governor, I will keep my word.

80% of Lisa Demuth’s lying attack ads are bankrolled by one man, Richard Uihlein, the right wing shipping supplies billionaire who spent $59 million to put Trump back in the White House.

He’s spending $14 million to buy a rubber stamp of Trump in the Minnesota Governor’s office. He could have bought one of his own that literally says “Paid” for $11. Pricey!

Thank you to all of our volunteers and supporters who have shown up – not just at our debate watch parties last night, but every day of this campaign. Thank you to my husband John, my running mate Ben, and the whole team behind me! 12 days to go!

My opponent blamed high gas prices on the Keystone pipeline and rising health care costs on Barack Obama — who will she blame next, Thomas Jefferson? Minnesotans know: gas prices, health premiums, and costs are going up because of Donald Trump's war and policies like his health care cuts.

Minnesota doesn't need a Governor who will be a rubber stamp for Donald Trump or for his top donors — including the billionaire from Wisconsin spending $14 million on my opponent's Super PAC. And yes, an important point: he is a Packers fan.

My opponent was the lead author of a bill that would have banned abortion in Minnesota, even in cases of rape and incest, and punished doctors with prison time. As Governor, I will always protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions.

I have been number one for bipartisan bills and number three for passing bills into law. From lowering the cost health care and housing to rooting out fraud, I am going to get things done as Governor.

Thank you to all the volunteers who showed up in Plymouth to turn out voters across the West Metro. On issues from affordable health care to creating good-paying jobs, we need leaders like Kelly Morrison, Kristy Janigo, Darci Smith, Bonnie Westlin, and Ann Johnson Stewart!

Lisa Demuth once again caught with a dishonest attack ad. Andy Luger prosecuted the Feeding Our Future fraud. Watch him set the record straight on my plan to root out fraud.

Trump wants his name on the Kennedy Center, a golden ballroom, and a 250-foot arch. But look where his name already is: skyrocketing gas prices, crushing tariffs, and devastating health care cuts. Make your plan to vote at: amyklobuchar.com/vote.

Minnesotans want a home they can afford, child care that doesn’t cost as much as a mortgage, and health care that is affordable and accessible. As Governor, I will fight to lower costs for the people of Minnesota.

Nicole Smith-Holt’s son, Alec, died because he couldn’t afford his insulin. Lisa Demuth voted against capping the cost of insulin – twice – and is now trying to hide her record. Nicole spoke out to correct the record because Minnesotans deserve the truth.
