Minnesotans rejected Scott Jensen during the 2022 election because they know his extreme policies serve the ultra-wealthy, not working people. 

The winners: Billionaires and big corporations

The losers: Minnesota families

At a time when Donald Trump and conservatives want to put billionaires and corporations above the needs of our schools, health care, and communities, here are three concrete steps that progressives took this year to stand up for working Minnesotans.

This year alone, Minnesota conservatives introduced 14 bills that target transgender Minnesotans. These bills try to ban gender-affirming care and erase trans people from public life. But it’s not just happening in Minnesota. Conservative lawmakers here are taking the lead from Donald Trump and extreme conservatives in Congress.

A federal budget bill just passed the US House of Representatives, but its conservative supporters don’t want you to know what’s in it. The bill includes enormous tax breaks for the wealthy and corporations that are paid for by taking health care away from working-class Americans.

Instead of taking the hint from the Minnesotans who rejected him, he’s back and bringing the same extreme, anti-choice, conservative rhetoric. 

The biggest-ever cut to Medicaid is coming soon if US House conservatives get their way. A proposal released on Sunday, May 11th, detailed the $715 billion of cuts that would cause millions of Americans to lose Medicaid coverage and pay higher fees when they go to the doctor.

This week marked Trump’s first 100 days in the Presidential office. Trump’s term thus far has been catastrophic for working families across the country who rely on federal funding and programs to keep schools strong, families healthy, and an economy they can afford to participate in.
