A government that is not transparent with its citizens will always lead to corruption. In Minnesota, we see this kind of corruption too often. With the Republican and Democratic state conventions taking place this weekend (GOP in Duluth and Dems in Rochester), all campaign finance reports are HIDDEN and unavailable to be viewed.

The state convention is a critical time period in which delegates, alternates, and others begin to closely examine candidates. Most people live normal lives and are not digging into campaign finance reports every day but they are much more likely to when conventions or elections are upcoming. Despite this, the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) has pulled all reports off of their website and it is unknown when they will return.

The reports were all taken down due to a bill passed in the legislature (HF4239) that required the addresses of donors be removed from all campaign finance reports, including reports from years past. The bill further required that the CFB take down the addresses immediately following its enactment, which just so happens to be when the State Conventions are.

Was the law designed to INTENTIONALLY block campaign finance reports ahead of the state conventions?

The Establishment is benefitted by secrecy and their choice to remove all of the reports and redo them during an election year, in the swing of the election, is awfully convenient for the Swamp…

Voters want to know about the out-of-state billionaire Richard Uihlein bankrolling the “Restore Sanity” political action committee (PAC) that is supporting Lisa Demuth. The deceptive material, mailers, and ads distributed by this PAC paints Demuth out to be an America First conservative when that is the furthest thing from the truth! Demuth voted for EVERY SINGLE bill signed into law by Tim Walz in 2025 and 2026, that is not conservative!

Keep in mind, Lisa Demuth is the Speaker of the MN House and ensured it would be passed with a scheduled floor vote! She bears more responsibility than any other Republican who voted for this mess.

Minnesota should not be left in the dark at critical electoral moments! 

Luckily, Action 4 Liberty has already reported on the CFB filings which can be seen here or by clicking below:

A4L became aware of this issue while researching Kendall Qualls’ CFB reports in relation to accusations raised by former MN Senate President and former Qualls campaign surrogate, RINO Dave Osmek. This issue is discussed in more detail in our previous reporting.

While the Establishment would argue that this policy should be done, they have ZERO excuse for scheduling this during this critical time period. Whether a donor’s address should be listed is NOT the issue, the issue is that we cannot view ANY report at all right now!

The only disinfectant for corrupt politics is transparency. Sunlight exposes darkness and MN politicians have made that impossible. This was passed with a 46-21 vote in the Senate and a 118-15 vote in the House. All of the votes in opposition were cast by Republicans. See votes below:

Action 4 Liberty will continue fighting corruption and demanding transparency. Minnesotans deserve to know the individuals and special interests bankrolling campaigns. We will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
