Whatever happened to presumed innocent? Extremely saddened for our country & MN with such extreme representation in the US Senate. Time for Tina to go.

Tina Smith said Judge Kavanaugh ‘committed sexual assault’ & called for a ‘quick & thorough investigation’, despite his emphatic denials. But she has chosen to believe Keith Ellison, affirming her support & openly campaigning with him.

Airport bars & restaurants are safe, but every other restaurant across the state is shut down?! How does that science work? Ran into Senator Mark Johnson on his flight back to Thief River, and mine to see Phil. Sat down for a beer & photo to prove a point.😡 Open Them Up!
Minnesota has received 297,350 doses of the COVID vaccine from the federal government so far. But only 57,017 doses have been administered to people, and only 3,643 people over the age of 65!
This is not acceptable,

Where were you for the historic confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh? I was doorknocking at a home in Hibbing - we knocked, she answered & was watching the vote! What are the chances?!
#TurnIronRangeRed
My opponent
@TinaSmithMN
is still supporting Keith Ellison & says he’ll make a terrific attorney general. Yikes. Talk about extreme, the double standard, the hypocrisy & compete dismissal of victims of abuse. The real Tina showed up in Mankato today.

We built a “model” based entirely on a New York-style catastrophe. That didn’t happen, but 4 out of 5 deaths are in long-term care settings.
@GovTimWalz
did not acknowledge this once in his remarks.
Thank you for your kind words, flowers, messages & prayers these past couple weeks. My mom’s long journey with Alzheimer’s came to a beautiful end & now she’s finally at home with my dad in Heaven. Your support for me & my family has meant so much ❤️
Minnesotans did not elect Tina Smith – and ignoring the very people we are asking for votes demonstrates an arrogance found far too often in career politicians. More on Tina Smith's refusal to debate:

For 3+ months, seniors in long-term care have been on lockdown while COVID ravaged many of their facilities. But where's the concern for them?
@GovTimWalz
& his administration are failing Minnesota seniors. And I'm going to say it again & again & again until something changes.
We had a historic surplus last year, and the Governor was going to issue rebates, but the checks were only $260. Minnesotans were disappointed, but were MORE disappointed when they found out they were going to be taxed on that $260!
So the Air Force Academy can graduate 1000 cadets in an outdoor ceremony but Pipestone High School can’t socially distance their 60 graduating seniors on the football field for their ceremony? Right now I see more than 60 people INSIDE Costco. Where is the common sense?
ICYMI: Republicans have a chance at a Senate pickup -- in Minnesota.
@KarinHousley

Doesn't hurt when your opponent bails on a debate.
I'll be a new voice for Minnesota in the U.S. Senate! We're up against far-left extremism & partisan obstruction. Minnesotans have a very clear choice this election 🇺🇸

Common sense has left the building when a charged felon casts the deciding vote on whether or not the charged felon should be voting at all.

Minnesotans need a break. In the state senate, I’ve consistently voted to lower taxes & support economic growth. Meanwhile, Tina Smith has never met a tax she didn’t like.
Today

said long-term care residents, on full lockdown for 3+ months, can have window visits. Meanwhile
@GovTimWalz
prioritizes free testing for protestors & a $6.9 million morgue that sits empty. Where is the concern for our seniors?! 😠
My mom was laid to rest today, after a snowy, cold week of trying to thaw the ground. She is smiling down from heaven while sitting at my dad’s side. I love you, Momma! 😘 ✝️
In Minnesota, we have pride in our communities. We love our neighbors & we stand up for what's right. We come together when it counts, we face our challenges head on, and we're proud of our roots. I love my state and that's why I'm running ⤵️
Our seniors don’t know how to go to a website and sign up for vaccines—they know how to call their doctors. Why are we putting sex offenders and MN Zoo employees ahead of our seniors? The Walz admin has failed at every turn and this failed rollout is the latest example of that.
Democrat polling firm results - this race is a toss up, people! Need you to vote early this week & then help get others to the polls on Election Day. We can do this!! Where to vote early here -

Yesterday, Tina Smith stood on the floor of the U.S. Senate to oppose a bill that requires doctors to provide medical care to babies born alive after failed abortions.
Think about that for a second.
Not sure why
@GovTimWalz
is holding a private press conference with the media to explain his secret modeling but no way for the public (or the legislature) to listen in. This lack of transparency frightens me.
The past nine months were so much fun. We met so many amazing Minnesotans and I wanted to share some of the memories & laughs

debate! Well... at least I’ll be there. Tina Smith refuses to participate in the only live statewide televised debate because of her “big complicated schedule”
“‘Nine months ago, this race was written off as a slam dunk for the far left,’ Housley said. ‘But fast-forward to today, folks, and we have got a race on our hands.’”
#mnsen
I’m so grateful to have earned the support of so many–but this is only the beginning. Since we began this journey, I’ve been humbled by the generous spirit of Minnesotans who have welcomed me into their communities to share my vision of a US Senator that works for the people. 1/
So nice to spend time w

Hard to work with someone when they think your wrong...every damn time (not my words).

campaigning in my district on day before election. I ask, what is the source of the political divide? It’s the leadership.

. Silence equals complicity; Tina Smith has become part of the Washington problem. 1/
Minnesotans did not elect Tina Smith – and her refusal to participate in the only statewide televised debate of the campaign shows just how little value she places in earning the votes of those she claims to represent. 2/
I am still shocked and just completely baffled by this! MDH is on the record for trying to tie youth sports to Covid-related deaths in long term care facilities! Our kids should not be treated as scapegoats.
