Last week was the annual fall meeting for the Midwestern Radioactive Materials Transportation Committee in Minneapolis, where I gave remarks about Minnesota's nuclear past, present, & future. I'm grateful for Rep. Shelley Buck's words about Prairie Island & our Tribal neighbors.

I attended the International Legislators Forum in Fargo this week. The main topics were data centers (very timely) and the large river diversion infrastructure project. I'm excited to share what I've learned so we can craft better policy in my community and in Minnesota.

About a week ago, I got to see the latest cohort graduate from Xcel Energy's Home Energy Career classroom training! Partnering with the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), students complete a four week training with wraparound services to help them in the job market. Congrats, Ladif! 🎓

It's always fun to connect with people at the Senate booth at the Great Minnesota Get-Together!

This week I attended the Council of State Gov-MW Leg Conf. Sessions included the READ Act, AI, & data centers. The Energy & Environment Committee discussed "build your own power." I'm grateful it was in St. Paul so I could attend, go to Woodbury Days, & see my kids off on their first day of school.
