Rep Larry Kraft’s 5th Annual Ice Cream Social is on Tuesday, June 16th, 7-8:30pm.
Larry says that this just completed legislative session has given him even more motivation to campaign vigorously, drive a crazy level of turnout in St. Louis Park and in swing districts like Chaska.
Here are the kinds of things Larry is talking about for next year.
– Ban assault weapons and high capacity magazines
– Prevent ICE from terrorizing our communities
– Make major progress on climate change
– Put the ERA on the ballot for a constitutional amendment
– Reform our broken healthcare system and move towards single payer universal healthcare..
– Protect the Boundary Waters from sulfide mining
and more…

6/13 Letter to the Editor writing event
2026-06-13 09:00 - 10:30 | See chat
This Saturday, June 13 from 9-10:30am, a group of us will be gathering to work on letters for on ongoing letter to the editor campaign regarding both our city governments refusal to further discuss or enact a seapartion ordinance, or provide more meaningful guardrails and restrictions on FLOCK ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader) cameras. For reference, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, and Burnsville all have some level of separation ordinance in place. Brooklyn Park and Columbia Heights either have or are looking at cancelling their FLOCK contracts altogether.
Both of these are common sense policies that we need our local government to take a serious look at in the wake of the peak of the surge. While we’ve accomplished a lot as a community, we need our local government to work now to establish every possible roadblock they can to make what we’ve seen since December more difficult for the federal government in the future.
