Governor Walz speaks to press at Hayes Elementary School in Fridley
On Wednesday, Governor Walz visited an elementary school in Fridley to highlight the impact on Minnesota students and families as President Trump dismantles the U.S. Department of Education. Funding from the U.S. Department of Education provides critical resources to meet the needs of 2,500 schools and over 860,000 students in Minnesota.
*“Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources for public schools. As a former teacher, I know that President Trump’s dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education will do damage to our schools that will impact our kids for years to come,”* said Governor Walz. *“As President Trump and his billionaire-led administration slash resources for students, I’m going to fight back as hard as I can to make sure kids have access to food, education, and opportunity.”*

________________________________________________________________________
Governor Walz and the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) announced that exports increased 7% overall between 2023 and 2024, exceeding national export growth of 2% in the same period. Minnesota exported nearly $27 billion in agricultural, mining, and manufactured goods to about 200 countries, ranking 13th highest for export growth and 23rd highest in export value among all states.
*“Minnesota has been a consistent leader in the delivery and production of high-demand goods, driven by strong global ties and a workforce of world-class growers, problem-solvers, and innovators,”* said Governor Walz. *“As President Trump threatens the partnerships that contribute billions of dollars to our economy, Minnesota will fight to protect relationships abroad and ensure continued economic growth.”*
