Minnesota is facing historic economic and fiscal challenges. State lawmakers have just a few months to solve a gaping $6.2 billion deficit while preserving essential public services.

But Republicans in the legislature would rather focus their attention on a divisive and prejudiced social agenda that denies some Minnesotans the right to marriage, denies women the right to choose, and denies seniors the right to vote.

Minnesotans expect more of their legislature. They expect us to work together to solve the deficit responsibly and improve Minnesota’s economy.

Rep. Ryan Winkler (DFL-Golden Valley) reacts to the GOP’s rejection of rules to make the budget their top priority. “Actions speak louder than words,” he said, arguing that their vote against making the budget their top priority reveals that they have a more divisive agenda planned.
