I want to thank Duluth for the incredible opportunity to serve in the Minnesota legislature over the past eight years. It has been an honor and Im proud of the work we accomplished. Im committed to ensuring that over the next few months we continue to serve with integrity.

Negotiations are rarely easy. Minnesota is faced with some difficult challenges, and we need to stay at the table. Early this morning I voted to stay and keep working. Its hard. Its frustrating. It requires leadership. But walking away isnt the answer.
Emergency management is incredibly difficult, never partisan, and the safety of the public always comes first. Be thankful for @GovTimWalz and his team for making strategic decisions based on the facts as theyre displayed on any given day.
My first official full day not being a legislator in eight years. I want to express my best wishes to all the returning and newly elected members. My best advice? None. Today you will assume an awesome responsibility, and only you can chart your course forward. Best of luck!
I absolutely believe Duluth voters need to decide who represents them in the Minnesota Senate. I am proud of my legislative record, and thankful for all of my supporters. You can see my full statement here: https://t.co/qQkSwVsp9y
