Flanagan: "Brian, I think what you heard is that Michele Tafoya does not have a plan to protect Social Security, and I do"

Minnesota, this election is too important to sit back or sit out. With expanded hours, more locations, and opportunities to vote on the weekends, it's never been easier to cast your ballot early. Make your plan at iwillvote.com

This year, federal agents terrorized our streets, killed our neighbors, and detained our children. Minnesotans were changed forever. Michele Tafoya thinks ICE treats kids “really well.” I think ICE should be ripped apart and replaced by a system grounded in dignity and due process.

The promise of Social Security: work hard, pay into the program, and you can retire with dignity. In Congress, Betty McCollum and I are going to fight to save Social Security and protect the program you’ve paid into your entire life.

Donald Trump's ICE just purchased the Appleton private prison for $496 million, making it the biggest real estate transaction in Minnesota history. I was proud to stand with folks in Appleton to protest this facility, and I'm ready to do the same in the U.S. Senate.

Ossoff: "They've unleashed federal agents to kill Americans on the streets of our cities with impunity. That's Mike Collins's immigration policy. And that's what you'd expect from the bigot congressman who called for executed immigrants by throwing to their deaths out of helicopters."

One of Angie Craig's most consistent claims in her Senate bid has been that Peggy Flanagan is vulnerable as a general election candidate because of her ties to Gov. Tim Walz + the state's fraud scandal. Craig is currently pushing this pic out everywhere.

I have heard from every corner of our state that Minnesotans are ready for big, bold change. I am running so Minnesotans can afford the lives they want to live. I will always be beholden to you, not corporations or the dark money interests trying to buy this seat.

On the anniversary of the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, we honor those who fought tirelessly for true disability justice and recommit to creating a state where Minnesotans with disabilities have the support they need to thrive.

You deserve it! You are the best Peggy. You fight for the people and you have a good heart. I support you too! We are lucky to have you.

Gloria Steinem helped generations of women believe they belonged in rooms where decisions are made. She never stopped fighting for equality and opportunity for everyone. I’m deeply honored and humbled to have earned her support of my campaign for U.S. Senate.

Secretive dark money groups have already spent more than $12 million trying to buy this Senate seat for my opponent. Minnesotans deserve transparency about the real funders behind these ads. Minnesotans are not naive, and Congresswoman Craig shouldn't treat them like they are.
