Of the roughly 3.3 million registered voters in MN, I’m convinced that at least one million of them are here with us at the State Fair Grandstand seeking cover from the rain. Come visit our booth to update your voter registration status. https://t.co/tYgZRY3GFK — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to work regularly with advocates for voters with disabilities from all over Minnesota. There's more work to do, both at the legislature and at individual polling places, to make voting as easy and accessible as possible for all eligible voters. — PolitiTweet.org

A wildly irresponsible claim, and totally untrue. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to ⁦⁦Senator ⁦@ChuckWiger⁩ for having me on his TV show to discuss democracy and election security. Related: His political button collection is fantastic. #mnleg https://t.co/YKKTWzQuAp — PolitiTweet.org

As a supporter of Israel, I’m deeply disappointed in the Israeli government’s decision to bar two members of Congress from visiting. It sends the wrong message, sets a bad precedent, misses a real opportunity to educate, looks like weakness, & will ultimately be bad for Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

A meaningful and emotional community discussion tonight in Minneapolis about the best way to restore voting rights for people who have left prison behind. Great insights by citizens, organizers, and legislators of both political parties. I was grateful to be a part of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Jeanne (who will turn 90 in a few weeks) was a fixture of the SOS office for many years, way before my time. It was an honor to meet her and to hear her stories. Thanks for @TonyJurgensMN for organizing our visit. — PolitiTweet.org

If the murderer in the El Paso massacre had been a foreign terrorist rather than a domestic terrorist, there’s no way that some leaders would be so focused on “mental health” solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

The El Paso massacre is domestic terrorism. We need sensible gun violence solutions, & something more in the short-term: Intentional de-escalation of political rhetoric. Responsible rhetoric is hard. It doesn’t get the most cheers, “likes,” “follows,” or “shares.” But it heals. — PolitiTweet.org

At today’s #RuralVoices listening session, a 2nd grade teacher said that some of his students stop bringing their daily meds to school towards the end of each month because they’ve run out — and can’t afford to replenish until the next month starts. Sad and unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

We’ll miss you! @Medtronic’s gain is our loss. I know you’ll thrive and succeed. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @MNFarmersUnion: "(#RuralVoices) is an exercise in bridge building and seeing what the different needs are all over the state." Thanks t… — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Building bridges between rural and metro Minnesota means listening to each other. Really listening, not just talking. I was proud to be a panelist today at the @MNFarmersUnion #ruralvoices event in Fergus Falls. https://t.co/dJV4pQSdtJ — PolitiTweet.org

At Mayor Ben Schierer’s Union Pizza & Brewing Company in Fergus Falls the food is always great 🍕, but today I noticed that the art on the walls is great too. @ffmayorben⁩ https://t.co/q08xXV6D5k — PolitiTweet.org

We’ve known since 2016 that the #1 threat to the integrity of our elections is the danger of an outside attack. This is a race without a finish line, but in MN we’re working every day to stay ahead of our adversaries — & to keep our system as secure as possible. #electionsecurity — PolitiTweet.org

Always good to stop and see friends at ⁦@MNBldgTrades⁩; great partners in making our democracy real for everyone. https://t.co/67nbYacZUT — PolitiTweet.org

“They’re doing it as we sit here.” As pundits analyze Robert Mueller’s testimony, let’s focus on his #1 warning: Attempts to interfere in our elections are happening now! Election security must be a top priority nationally, as it is for us in Minnesota. #electionsecurity — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

On the eve of Robert Mueller’s testimony, remember his last public comment: “I will close by reiterating the central allegation of our indictments—that there were multiple, systematic efforts to interfere in our election. That allegation deserves the attention of every American.” — PolitiTweet.org

Listen here to my conversation on @TheTakeaway on @NPR today with my colleague @AlexPadilla4CA — where we talked about election security in a post-Mueller world. https://t.co/HscnVKmXK7 — PolitiTweet.org

I’ll be on @TheTakeaway on National Public Radio at 8:30 am, live, to talk about election security for the upcoming 2020 election cycle. Tune in. — PolitiTweet.org

On his 75th birthday, Paul Wellstone’s thoughts on democracy still inspire: “When too many Americans don't vote or participate, some see apathy and despair. I see disappointment and even outrage. And I believe that out of this frustration can come hope and action." https://t.co/gXdiRzURMI — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

It’s still amazing, fifty years later. This is what great nations do: Explore and expand the boundaries of knowledge. https://t.co/ujBoZLWN9p — PolitiTweet.org

INSPIRATION ALERT: I just met Alyse, who stopped by our office today on her eighteenth birthday (!) to drop off dozens of completed voter registration forms from her classmates at Burnsville High School. Be like Alyse! https://t.co/8on0iCX5vi https://t.co/mkHwj1NJf6 — PolitiTweet.org

I’m honored to have received the Allan Spear achievement award from the Stonewall Caucus last night. On the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall rebellion there’s plenty of LGBTQ progress to celebrate, but there's more work to do. The task will take many hands and hearts. https://t.co/BqZDtlv3xW — PolitiTweet.org

Today's #SCOTUS decision on partisan gerrymandering is deeply disappointing, but also clarifying: The only path left to redistricting reform is now at the state level. MN should create an independent redistricting commission to safeguard our democracy. #mnleg — PolitiTweet.org
