Source topic or question: Build More Homes, Faster

Candidate campaign source

Minnesota has a shortage of approximately 100,000 homes. The fastest way to lower housing costs is to build and rehabilitate homes to reduce that shortage. As Governor, Amy Klobuchar is committed to filling the housing gap by putting us on a path to build at least 100,000 homes, condos, and apartments.

Source topic or question: A plan to expand Minnesota’s rural and agricultural economy.

Candidate campaign source

Klobuchar and Schierer know that one-size-fits-all solutions don’t work for rural communities. Together they will make it easier for farmers to grow and produce more products, work with rural Minnesotans to find new markets, and support Minnesotans who are inventing things and exporting to the world. They’ll protect rural health care and support rural hospitals at risk of closing by protecting their 340B discount from efforts to restrict it, lower housing costs by working with the private sector to build more homes, and create new apprenticeships and one- to four-year degree programs and beyond, so that Minnesotans can afford to live, work, and raise a family in rural Minnesota. Because kids who grow up in rural Minnesota should be able to stay in rural Minnesota.

Source topic or question: Make Health Care More Affordable and Accessible

Candidate campaign source

As Governor, Amy Klobuchar will keep fighting to lower health care costs so families can afford to get the care they need. She’ll work to negotiate lower prescription drug prices. She’ll hold companies accountable and ensure what they charge actually reflects the cost of care. She’ll improve access to care by strengthening hospitals and clinics, especially in rural areas, expanding our health care workforce, and modernizing IT systems. She will always protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions.

Source topic or question: Lower Costs for Minnesotans

Candidate campaign source

As governor, Amy Klobuchar will work to lower costs that have been going through the roof across the country — essentials like housing, child care, and health care. She’ll take action to build more homes for Minnesotans, supporting first-time homebuyers, renters, and growing families who need more space. She’ll work with child care providers, employers, and schools to expand access to child care. She’ll build on her years of fighting — and beating — Big Pharma to lower prescription drug prices for Minnesotans. And she’ll hold the line on utility bills by modernizing Minnesota’s power grid and adding more affordable, renewable energy.

Source topic or question: Increasing Affordability and Accessibility

Candidate campaign source

In the State Senate, I led the fight for affordable insulin and improved prescription drug coverage. The federal government has the power to fix this; it provides health services and has massive purchasing power. But big insurance and pharmaceutical companies are standing in the way, protecting their profits. Medicare only began negotiating drug prices in 2025, but the current list of drugs is too limited. We should expand Medicare and Medicaid’s ability to negotiate for lower prices on most prescription medicines. That would not only lower costs for patients, but it would save billions in taxpayer dollars.
