Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) introduced legislation that will give Americans a better understanding of how their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent by the federal government.

Prior to the outbreak of the COVID pandemic, one of my favorite opportunities as a Member of Congress was walking through the Rotunda with constituents on a tour of the Capitol. No matter how many groups we led through the House and Senate Chambers, walking through the hallowed halls, and looking at the artwork depicting some of our nation’s most important moments was always a humbling experience.

Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) issued the following statement on passage of H.R. 3684: 

“House Democrats’ partisan infrastructure package focuses more on imposing costly Green New Deal regulations and removing state control over infrastructure development than it does investing in the roads and bridges Minnesotans and Americans use every day. We need to fix our nation’s aging infrastructure, but today’s package is far from what the American people want, need, or deserve.”

Washington, D.C. – Congressman Tom Emmer (MN-06) announced today that he will be participating in the 2021 Congressional App Challenge.

When it comes to the delivery of primary and mental health care, timing is everything. Waiting even a few days can mean the difference between life and death. Unfortunately, our nation’s veterans have become too accustomed to delays. We’re working to change that.

For far too long, veterans seeking access to health services at Veterans Affairs Medical Centers have faced backlogs, long wait times, and far too much bureaucracy. These American heroes should have accessible, timely, and comprehensive care right when they need it.

2021 has been a strong year for Minnesota Hockey: all five of our Division-1 men’s hockey teams made the NCAA Ice Hockey Tournament, three advanced to the Frozen Four and the Sixth District’s own St. Cloud State University Huskies made it to the final.

For many Minnesotans, hockey is life. It’s the first sport we learn and one we play long into adulthood. Hockey has been a special part of my life for as long as I can remember, from when I started playing in grade school, to today as a sport I can share with my kids.
