In the ad, Kupec shares how his career in meteorology was motivated by helping make people’s lives easier, and those are the same values that drive him at the State Senate. 

In the Senate, Kupec was a leader in securing Social Security tax relief for the majority of Minnesota seniors, and delivered on capping prescription drug prices, and fought to keep healthcare in rural communities accessible and affordable. 

Kupec has been a strong voice on the fight against fraud, working to establish the new taxpayer watchdog office of Inspector General, securing additional prosecutors and investigators to stop Medicaid fraud, and supporting local counties to keep up with rapidly advancing fraud technology.
