The party structure exists to serve various purposes and one of the chief purposes is to hold endorsing conventions and to support the winner of said conventions. Most BPOUs (Basic Political Operating Units) find no issue in doing so but scheduling endorsing conventions can become more complicated when districts cover multiple BPOUs. In the case of Senate District 10, it has become a nightmare because Senator Nathan Wesenberg is despised by RINOs despite being well-liked by his district.

Wesenberg has no known opponent for the Senate seat’s GOP endorsement yet RINOs are working behind the scenes to not hold a convention at all! SD10 covers seven different BPOUs and the MNGOP Constitution requires that they all agree to a time and place for their endorsing convention. In the case of SD10, six of the seven BPOUs were in agreement to hold the endorsing convention on Saturday, February 21st at Pierz High School.

The Feb. 21st date does not conflict with any of the BPOU’s schedules and is not on the same day as their regular county/BPOU conventions to elect CD and statewide delegates. The only hold-out on this date is the RINO-controlled Aitkin County, which is chaired by Dale Lueck-puppet Jennifer Cummings. Lueck is former RINO state Representative with a pathetic lifetime score of 51% in A4L Scorecards (meaning he would vote for big, bloated government about half of the time on critical votes). Jennifer Cummings reportedly previously plead guilty to (and was sentenced for) drug possession after she bought methamphetamine (meth) from an undercover police officer.

Instead of cooperating with the other six BPOU Chairs, Lueck and Cummings have used their personal animosity against Sen. Wesenberg to try to block an endorsing convention from happening at all! For months they refused to hammer down a date and time while the other six operated in good faith discussions. In an email obtained by A4L, Lueck LIES to another BPOU Chair in the district by falsely claiming that Aitkin County would be holding their convention on Ash Wednesday at 9AM. Sources tell A4L that this is not the first time Lueck has given false dates. See email below:

When BPOU Chairs cannot agree to a date for the endorsing convention, the MNGOP Constitution requires the MNGOP State Executive Committee to call the convention since SD10 covers areas in multiple U.S. Congressional districts. According to sources, this issue was brought to the State Exec. Comte. and the party failed to call for a convention at their last meeting. Sources tell A4L that the voice vote to call the convention was held and was close but Chair Alex Plechash ruled that the opposition to the motion won out.

The RINOs on the State Exec. Comte. are BLOCKING Sen. Nathan Wesenberg’s endorsement despite him not having an opponent! The MNGOP is failing to live up to the obligations of their own party constitution! Sources tell A4L that the most deceitful of the State Exec. Comte. who worked to mislead locals was self-described “Never Trump” CD8 Exec. Rep. Andy Aplikowski. Sources tell A4L that Aplikowski lied by arguing that Aitkin County was operating in good faith and were proposing the convention be held on March 14th. Additionally, we are told crazed feminist MNGOP Secretary Joy Orvis and several others have been doing the Establishment's bidding.

Local sources tell A4L that the March 14th date was NEVER proposed to the six other BPOU Chairs and was selected by RINOs Lueck and Cummings because it was the most objectionable date! Locals say further that several BPOU Chairs communicated to all seven chairs how they and others would not be available on that day. Instead of choosing the best possible day, they chose the worst day! Now, the grassroots may call Aitkin County’s bluff and accept the convention date.

It is clear that RINOs will use whatever tactics they wish in order to see their ends be met. There is zero reason to block the grassroots from making local endorsements. The Establishment’s dirty tricks in SD10 are nothing new. In 2022 leading up to the SD10 endorsing convention RINOs like then-Morrison County Chair Mandy Heffron deleted duly elected delegates and replaced them with Establishment names, wouldn’t allow the grassroots to replace the corrupt David Hann-appointed Chair for the Morrison County convention, and didn’t even count a single vote at the SD10 endorsing convention because it was clear on the ground that several RINO candidates were going to lose!

The ongoing battle in SD10 are similar throughout the state, the RINOs can feel their power slipping away because the grassroots is more informed than ever. The MNGOP State Executive Committee is FAILING to live up to their Constitutional duties and must IMMEDIATELY hold a special meeting to hold the SD10 Endorsing Convention on Feb. 21st (or another date agreed upon by the six relevant BPOU Chairs operating in good faith discussions). While a few members of the State Executive Committee are trying to do the right thing, the majority is stabbing conservatives in the back! 

This sits at Alex Plechash’s and Donna Bergstrom’s feet! They must resolve it immediately or will be responsible for another MNGOP Civil War.
