We’re wasting no time in preparing for the 2020 election. Minnesota has been selected as one of six states to participate in a national election security academy, run by the National Governors Association. https://t.co/fCelj15lOe — PolitiTweet.org

On the 75th anniversary of D-Day, President Reagan’s words come to mind: “Strengthened by their courage, heartened by their valor, and borne by their memory, let us continue to stand for the ideals for which they lived and died.” https://t.co/ACt6f6imP3 — PolitiTweet.org

Don Fraser wasn’t just a Congressman and Mayor of Minneapolis, he was a leader on civil rights, political reform, and children’s issues. He led quietly, with conviction. And we was fundamentally decent. https://t.co/3BehuOr5if — PolitiTweet.org

I introduced my 6 year old daughter to “The Sound of Music.” I had to explain why the men in swastika armbands were chasing the Von Trapp Family. Afterwards . . . Daughter: Do Nazis still exist? Me: Well, uhmmm . . . [struggling to find wise, accurate, age-appropriate words] — PolitiTweet.org

This weekend I met the 93 yr old son of US Army Lt General Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr, who was killed in 1945 at the Battle of Okinawa (along with over 12,000 other Americans). On this Memorial Day I’m thinking of him, and of all others who gave their lives for our country. https://t.co/3HQAm4tvR2 — PolitiTweet.org

Big wins in MN legislative session: Finally & belatedly got full authorization to spend fed $$ for election security. Protected voters from having their political party affiliation publicly disclosed in 2020 prez primary. We still need to stay restless for democracy. #mnleg — PolitiTweet.org

One of my favorite things about being SOS is speaking with students about democracy. Today's meeting with seniors at Prior Lake High School was a great exchange of thoughts and ideas. — PolitiTweet.org

LAST CHANCE! Today is the final day for MN legislators to secure our elections and to protect voter privacy. Action is critical. https://t.co/22JRp7hD9q — PolitiTweet.org

Today’s first ever Minnesota Immigrant Entrepreneurs Summit is a “knowledge equalizer” for immigrants trying to start businesses. For me, this is personal. The SOS Office is the welcome mat for MN business, & my great grandparents were immigrant business owners. ⁦@IES_USA⁩ https://t.co/z3jwFtVhwd — PolitiTweet.org

Hopefulness in action: Watching high school and junior high students compete in Project Citizen, where they come to the MN Capitol to showcase their policy proposals on everything from vaping to mental health to animal treatment. ⁦@teachingcivicsM⁩ https://t.co/PtOKWn33OZ — PolitiTweet.org

For victims of domestic violence or stalking, our “Safe at Home” program provides lifesaving security by keeping participants’ home address confidential. Here’s the amazing story of a survivor who used Safe at Home to reclaim her life. 👇👇👇 https://t.co/TI68Bp1A9r — PolitiTweet.org

Hey, Minnesota: Do you want your political preferences to be a public record? If not, then tell the legislature to fix the presidential primary law so that your choice of political party stays private. #mnleg https://t.co/W0W39KnBGz — PolitiTweet.org

Today, US intelligence officials re-emphasized that election cyber defenses are as critical to natl security as protecting law enforcement or hospitals from cyberattack. This is a big deal.

I hope we’ll see an apology to the 25,000 eligible voters who received threatening letters questioning their US citizenship for no good reason. — PolitiTweet.org

Preventing a hack of Minnesota’s election system is a big deal. I agree with @TheJournalMN: Failing to make election security a top priority this year would be shameful. #mnleg #SecureOurElections https://t.co/KaZ9GCLs2X — PolitiTweet.org

In Sri Lanka today the victims were Christian. In New Zealand last month the victims were Muslim. In Pittsburgh last year the victims were Jewish. If you pray, pray for an end to religious bigotry -- and to the violence it inspires. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Kiffmeyer (@marykiff) on election security: “People are being hacked all the time. You’re being hacked all the time, I am. This is no big thing.” Now we know why she's blocking election security $. "No big thing." @paulgazelka do you agree? #mnleg https://t.co/ctJhSQX6yd — PolitiTweet.org

MUELLER: Russian intelligence agency “compromised” the elections computer network in Illinois, and “extracted data related to thousands of U.S. voters.” Election security demands our attention, yet MN is the only state in America where election security funding is being blocked. https://t.co/2VcHB1uCc5 — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

Because of inaction by the MN Senate, we are the only state in America not to have access to federal election security funds. Inexcusable. Time to stop denying security for MN elections. #mnleg https://t.co/i4zYqK9sf7 — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to ⁦@gustavus⁩ for showing MN how it’s done. For the second election in a row, students propelled the school into first place in “MN Ballot Bowl,” the voter registration competition that my office started in 2016. The pressure’s on for a threepeat in 2020! https://t.co/w62XfqpgBp — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Simon @MNSteveSimon

We have official confirmation that all 50 states were targeted in some way by Russia in 2016. MN is still the only state where election security funding is being blocked. I hope that @paulgazelka & the MN Senate will work with me to get it done. #mnleg https://t.co/p1TaJnur1C — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. Josie Johnson is a Minnesota civil rights icon. At age 14, she fought the poll tax in Texas. She served as acting director of the Minneapolis Urban League, and was the first African American regent at the U of M. An amazing life. Read her new memoir, “Hope in the Struggle.” https://t.co/vfbyexqfg9 — PolitiTweet.org

I want to work with you @paulgazelka. You committed (in writing) to releasing all fed election security $$ "after a robust public discussion & vetting." The discussion & vetting have happened. Time to protect our elections by releasing the funds. #mnleg https://t.co/0wDTpxw8a6 — PolitiTweet.org
