The Minnesota Governor race remains a focal point for voters after massive fraud was uncovered and Tim Walz ended his campaign in shame. Since that point, Walz has undemocratically anointed Amy Klobuchar as his successor but Minnesota voters still get to weigh in. 

One way voters are able to gauge candidates is by viewing their campaign finance reports. Through these reports, voters can learn how much a candidate is raising, who their donors are, and where they are spending money. Grassroots Patriot Karla Nelson created a page on Senate District 44 GOP’s website that allows voters to easily and simply view the campaign finance reports of all statewide and federal GOP candidates.

As seen in the newest campaign finance reports, conservative firebrand and My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell has received the most financial support among the Republican candidates. Lindell raised nearly half a million dollars in just a three month span. Since Democrats have a massive financial advantage over Republicans in MN, Lindell brings an advantage that no other candidate has due to his marketing skills, celebrity influence, and deep connection to conservatives/election integrity activists as he brings in small dollar donations nationwide.

See how much each GOP candidate for Governor fundraised from January through March of this year below rounded to the nearest whole number:

Mike Lindell - $495,988

Lisa Demuth - $225,803

Kendall Qualls - $124,625

Kristin Robbins - $61,217

Peggy Bennett - $60,770

Patrick Knight - $45,538

John Krhin - $38,801

Phillip Parrish - $6,652

Ross Nova - $6,000

Raul Estrada - $4,065

Of the Republican candidates, only Lisa Demuth has accepted money from lobbyists in the Quarter 1 report. Her report states that she collected donations from 12 different lobbyists totaling $7,275.

Since Amy Klobuchar did not get into the race until January of this year, her CFB report is the first time Minnesotans can find out how much she has raised. In total, Klobuchar has raised over $4.8M this quarter. Despite her report showing she has spent over $1.4M already, her campaign website remains blank on policy. Apparently $1.4M can’t even buy her a campaign platform!

A4L will provide further coverage of campaign finance reports to keep Patriots informed about the candidates asking for their votes. Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Minnesotans with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
