Later that day, Stauber highlighted local infrastructure progress with another post: "After years of construction, the Twin Ports Interchange Project is done!

In a third message posted that afternoon, Stauber criticized Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith for their voting record on government funding: "Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith have voted against funding the government FIVE times.
