Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and honor Minnesota State Senator Steve Cwodzinski for his lifelong dedication to education, civic engagement, and public service. Senator Cwodzinski began his career in public service as a public school teacher. For over 30 years, he inspired students to become informed and engaged citizens. Senator Cwodzinski brought that same passion for public service to the Minnesota State Senate where he was first elected in 2016. Drawing on his background as an educator, he became a leading advocate for students and teachers across Minnesota.

Donald Trump is backing the United States into a corner, and the worst part about it is that he has no plan to get us out.

It is our responsibility to make them feel safe.'' I have a stack of notes here from hundreds of Minnesotans who came together after the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School, demanding action; calling for commonsense reforms; expressing their grief, anguish, and frustration; and begging for their elected leaders to do something--anything--to respond to the tragedy that left an 8- year-old and a 10-year-old dead,…
