Roper: HCMC is too big to fail, but Hennepin County leaders say it’s now on life support. The county wants a sales tax expansion to save Minnesota’s largest public hospital. That solution falls too heavily on one part of the region.

Now the Trump administration is again targeting Minnesota—this time by cutting $250 million dollars in Medical Assistance to our state alone. This will devastate my old alma mater, as well as rural hospitals and nursing homes across the state. We can and we must do better.

For most of my career as a doctor I practiced at Hennepin County Medical Center, and the hospital remains close to my heart. The staff embody the best of Minnesota values—compassionate, hard-working and humble.

I’ve learned from Senator Pappas since I first arrived in the legislature. Her visionary and collaborative work on statewide bonding projects is inspiring to me. Honored to have her endorsement.

Lakeville student in custody after allegedly flashing gun at school A 17-year-old Lakeville student is in custody after allegedly bringing a gun to school and running from police.

Yesterday, Lakeville schools went in to lock down due to an active shooter threat. We must move legislation to stop this regular trauma.

My campaign is supported by democrats from across the political spectrum of our party—not because we always agree, but because we trust each other, and know we can work together for the common good.

I’m so grateful for all the delegates who participated in Democracy yesterday—from LeSueur to Cottage Grove. The Minnesota spirit is strong. And I’m deeply grateful to the volunteers from my campaign who put in a full day supporting the good work. You all are the very best.

When ICE failed to render aid to Renee Good, she still had a pulse 6 1/2 minutes later. Yesterday, on the first day of legislative session, I co-authored a bill with the majority leader and other health care legislators that would give Minnesotans civil recourse in that circumstance.

Investigations and accountability must occur for the reckless actions of ICE. Our work is not done.

If this is true, thank God. And the Minnesota resistance can be written among the annals of the great peaceful movements from all time. The memories of Renee Good, Alex Pretti, and all of the others harmed in our community must not be forgotten.

Minnesota stood firm and stood together. Now, we have to keep working together to do better for all of our communities, because we can and must do better.

Physicians can’t administer effective care when our patients are too scared to come through the door. We can and must do better for our patients, and for everyone here.

Yesterday was a tragic day. Through it all, Minnesotans are standing up in every way they can to support each other. 150 of our neighbors showed up in Rosemount to talk about defending democracy and what we can do to keep our communities safe. (1/2)

Spent the day in Northfield talking with people from the community, and stood with them in their ICE Out of Minnesota protest. Minnesotans across our state are standing up in incredible ways for our immigrant communities, workers, small businesses, and each other. We can and must do better.

How is this okay? A child was chased down and tackled by federal agents in the freezing cold. In Minnesota, we take care of each other. We cannot accept any more of this here.

Renee Good was denied immediate medical care after being shot by an ICE agent. As a doctor, I’m appalled at what happened to her, and what’s happening in our communities.

Minnesotans will not tolerate this anymore. We will stand up for our values in this state. We will care for our neighbor, and we will shield our children from federally sanctioned abuse. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

What ICE is doing is meant to spread terror and is actively causing patient to delay care out of fear. No one should be afraid to seek medical care because of the color of their skin or their immigration status. I promise to never stop fighting for my patients and constituents. (2/2)

For weeks ICE has been conducting unlawful searches and arrests of patients seeking medical care. Today, I had the honor of participating in the largest gathering of my fellow physicians that I have ever seen at the Capitol to push back. (1/2)

Today we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who taught us that “injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” We are living through a time where the very foundations of our democracy are under attack. We cannot be silent. (1/2)
