Betty McCollum for Congress

Hell NO to war with Iran.

I learned a new vocabulary word that I shared with DFLers in @dflsd33.bsky.social last night — kakistocracy: government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state. It's sadly all too timely for our current situation, which is why we need to flip the House in November!

Weir Road Project To Reduce Flooding Receives Federal Funding A project to reduce flooding on Weir Drive north of Costco received a funding boost in the federal budget bills passed by Congress at the end of January. The transportation appropriations bill include...

Pleased to deliver $1.35M in federal funding to reconstruct Weir Drive in Woodbury! This project will help prevent flooding that cuts off access to an apartment complex, a middle school, and several Woodbury businesses.

A great start to the first weekend of conventions for Team Betty and congratulations to John Marty, Aisha Elmquist, @davidformn40b.bsky.social, @judyseeberger.bsky.social, and Cole Birkeland on their DFL endorsements! I'm looking forward to joining them on the campaign trail this year. #MN04

Article I of the Constitution grants Congress, not the President, the power to impose tariffs. Today’s Supreme Court ruling reaffirms the constitution and the importance of the separation of powers.

Catholic congressional Dems rebuke Mike Johnson's biblical defense of ICE Their Feb. 13 statement, led by Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, outlines a series of Catholic social teaching principles that the lawmakers say they consider when approaching immigration issues.

Scripture is an ill-suited defense for this administration's heartless approach to immigration. My Catholic faith compels me to welcome my immigrant neighbor and to treat them with respect and dignity. Speaker Johnson should take note.

Three House Republicans cross party lines to block effort to shield Trump from challenges to his tariffs | CNN Politics Speaker Mike Johnson failed to reinstate a ban on lawmakers’ ability to challenge President Donald Trump’s tariffs when three Republicans crossed party lines to vote with Democrats.

Last night with the help of three Republicans, House Democrats took back Congressional control over tariffs. Today, I’ll be voting YES today to stop Trump’s reckless tariff war with Canada.

Senate District 40 DFLers, thank you for welcoming me to your January meeting! The ICE & CBP occupation of Minnesota has been difficult for all of us, and it needs to end. I was glad to see so many of you ready to stand up for our values and work towards victory in November.

I'll be joining @listentothemiddle.bsky.social on @mprnews.org at 8:00 PM to discuss the ICE and CBP occupation of Minnesota and the need for accountability for the brutal, appalling conduct of DHS against Minnesotans.

Tune in: www.mprnews.org/listen

Not only does she have my support, but I’m ready to get to work right now to help elect Amy Klobuchar the next Governor of Minnesota.

Minnesotans know Amy Klobuchar. They know she’ll always put Minnesota families first.

Amy Klobuchar's record of leadership in the U.S. Senate, her passion for justice, and her tireless commitment to the people of Minnesota means we can count on her to lead our great state forward with courage and compassion.

Congratulations to both Shelley Buck and Meg Luger-Nikolai on decisive victories in their special elections last night to bring DFLers back to full strength in the Minnesota House! I'm looking forward to working with them on behalf of our shared constituents. #mnleg

The act of political violence perpetrated against Congresswoman Omar this evening is completely unacceptable. I’m grateful for the swift response by the Minneapolis Police Department and security personnel on site.

Polls close at 8:00 PM in the special elections for House Districts 47A and 64A. I'm proud to be supporting @buckforhouse.bsky.social and Meg Luger-Nikolai and if you live in 47A or 64A, I encourage you to get out and vote for them today!

I voted NO today on the Department of Homeland Security funding bill. I will not vote for a dime of funding for DHS while the Trump Administration occupies Minnesota and ICE, DHS, and CBP agents brutalize our neighbors in violation of the law and our Constitution.

Trump administration moves to reverse mining ban near Boundary Waters The procedural action could pave the way for Twin Metals to resubmit plans for a proposed underground copper mine just a few miles south of the popular wilderness area.

Representative Stauber and House Republicans this week are advancing legislation to remove federal protections for the Boundary Waters watershed. I'm the strongest voice in Congress for protecting the BWCA and I’ll be doing everything I can to defeat this legislation.

Possible Woodbury ICE detention center draws Washington County Board crowd, condemnation Washington County Board Chair Karla Bigham said no one on the five-member county board is in favor of an ICE detention center.

ICE's Acting Director said in April that the Trump administration’s goal is to deport immigrants like Amazon moves packages: "Like Prime, but with human beings." It's disgusting and dehumanizing and it's why I'm standing in strong opposition to a potential ICE facility in Woodbury.

'Appalling conduct': Rep. McCollum calls for removal or impeachment of DHS Secretary Noem Rep. Betty McCollum said Dept of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has violated public trust.

Secretary Noem should be fired. If she’s not, she should be impeached by the House, convicted by the Senate, and removed from office. It's time for her to go.

It is clear that ICE’s grossly unprofessional conduct is needlessly causing chaos in Minnesota. I share Minnesotans' concern for those who are impacted by this violence amidst this incredibly volatile situation. I urge community members to remain calm.

Secretary Noem must immediately cease and desist the ICE operation to allow state and local law enforcement officials to restore order and prevent further injuries, and to allow for a full and independent investigation into ICE’s actions which led to this incident.

I am aware of reports of a shooting involving federal agents that has resulted in the serious injury of a civilian.

I am so glad we were able to rebuke the President's union-busting move on a bipartisan basis and hope to see its passage in the Senate.

AFGE Applauds House Passage of Bill to Restore Federal Workers’ Union Rights, Urges Swift Passage by Senate The American Federation of Government Employees is applauding the U.S. House for passing the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which would restore collective bargaining rights for more than a million f...

Last week, we were able to force a vote and pass a bill to reverse President Trump's executive order stripping away collective bargaining rights from nearly 1 million federal workers.

Congratulations to Shelley Buck and Meg Luger-Nikolai on their victories in tonight's House District 47A and 64A DFL primaries! I'll be proudly supporting Shelley and Meg in these 4th District seats to bring DFLers back to full strength in the Minnesota House. #mnleg

I’ll be back in Washington tomorrow so I stopped by Ramsey County Elections over the weekend to cast my vote in the special primary for House District 64A. House District 47A will have a special primary tomorrow as well. #mnleg

It was my pleasure to welcome DFLers to the 4th District at today's SCC meeting in New Brighton! My thanks go to those at today's meeting putting in the work to ensure we defeat the Republicans enabling this cruel, corrupt, and chaotic administration in 2026.

Know Your Rights – What to do as Trump’s immigration raids come to Minnesota - Mshale Trump's immigration raids have now arrived in Minnesota with a focus on Somalis. Here is what you need to know in order to exercise your rights if you encounter ICE.

As ICE and federal immigration authorities are targeting our communities, I want all Minnesotans to know their rights and be able to inform others so we can uphold due process and the rule of law.

I'm so saddened to learn of Andrena Guines' passing over the weekend. Andrena was a friend and valuable resource to so many in our party and a dedicated Vice Chair of the 4th District DFL. My deepest condolences to Andrena's friends and family during this difficult time.

Team Betty wrapped up tabling at the House District 64A DFL Convention earlier this evening after a great day of talking with delegates about caucuses and opportunities to get involved in 2026!
