“Democrat Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey were clearly out of their depth and frozen in the headlights during the Minneapolis riots. Everybody who watched the press conferences saw that. “Neither of them had the ability to get the situation under control. “For Governor Walz to minimize the men and women who step up and leave their families to protect our state and citizens is ridiculous. Minneapolis burned until the ‘19 year old cooks’ showed up and restored order. The people that Governor Walz is denigrating now are the people who did the job he and Mayor Frey couldn’t do. “The…

“Dean Phillips, the third wealthiest member of the House of Representatives, took PPP money through one of his businesses despite telling the Star Tribune that he thought it was wrong for members of Congress to take PPP money. Phillips authored the PPP bill. Phillps co-owns the Minneapolis based MyMeds Inc. which received $150,000 to $350,000 through PPP. “MyMeds, Inc. received the loan in the shadow of Dean recently gloating to Twin Cities Business Magazine that another company he owns, Penny’s coffee, “did not secure a PPP loan…because of my principles.” Apparently, Dean’s “principles” only apply to the small companies he…

“Today Senator Tina Smith proved yet again how out of touch she is with rural Minnesota and the agricultural sector, which is so vital to our state. “While farmers are dealing with the challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic and Governor Tim Walz’s heavy-handed response to the virus, Tina Smith has been tone-deaf to the concerns and needs of farmers wanting new markets and fewer regulations; instead she champions more handouts and restrictions. “The timing of Smith’s marijuana announcement was not an accident. She’s trying to appeal to farmers, which sadly shows how out of touch she is. Farmers want…

“Democrat Governor Tim Walz continues to lead this state unilaterally, circumventing the state legislature to make decisions impacting all Minnesotans. Today the Governor exhibited another overreach of power in making decisions about our children’s education by himself. The realities of balancing parenting with employment, impact every parent in our state. “Parents and pediatricians overwhelmingly want schools to open, and it is important we get to that goal full-time for all students. Local control is local control – not Governor Walz’s strict framework that could impede the education of our children. It is time for Governor Walz to step back from…
