The MN Governor race continues to become more and more crowded as Republicans search for the candidate they want to represent them against “seriously retarded” Tim Walz. The field gained another candidate with today’s (Monday, December 1st) announcement of attorney and Tim Walz donor Chris Madel entering the race.

A4L previously reported on Madel’s then-potential candidacy and the over $55K that he has donated to radical left Democrats around the country. In that reporting, we show each Democrat donation Madel made including $5,500 to Tim Walz, gave max donations to Biden’s 2020 and 2024 Presidential campaigns, and even donated to Jamie Raskin, one of the biggest cheerleaders for impeaching President Trump. Madel has donated to Democrats since at least 2001 and has given far more money to Dems than GOP candidates. 

Madel announced his campaign with a powerpoint presentation that notably included his excuse for being a big donor to Democrat candidates. In the speech, Madel claimed that he is in a bipartisan business and admitted to what sounded like a pay to play scheme. Madel said “Ryan Londregan is a free man today due in part to my contributions to Democrats. Of that, I have no doubt. You have a problem with that, I don’t give a sh##.” See video below:

Minnesotans of all stripes must be thinking: What did he just say?

Did he just admit that there is a pay-to-play system and that donating to Democrats will lead to them returning the favor by influencing Judges or Prosecutors? How else could donating to Democrats possibly help a lawyer win a court case?

What a way to kick off your campaign! Madel, unprompted, has admitted that he donated to Democrats to help free his legal clients! How much more blatant could corruption be!?!

Minnesota Republicans are going to demand details on Madel's donation scheme. Specifically, Madel will have to explain which Democrats he donated to that helped Ryan Londregan be free and how exactly those Democrats interfered in the judicial system to see those ends be met.

In a recent Star Tribune piece, Madel says he will make “zero apologies” for his donations and argues that President Trump also donated to Dems. Then when asked to comment on President Trump, Madel refused! It is clear that he wants to use Trump as a shield despite the fact that he gave BIG MONEY to Joe Biden and other Democrats putting Trump through Hell.

Madel doesn’t appear to lacking the ego of a politician. In the same Star Tribune piece, Madel says “The difference between me and literally the rest of [the candidates] is that I’ve actually accomplished things.” While A4L is certainly never one to shy away from trashing politicians, Madel’s insane exaggeration likely won’t be taken well by the other 12+ GOP candidates running. He also hilariously argued that no other candidate has done more to advance conservative causes than him.

Madel has also shown that he will not respect grassroots delegates by saying he will not abide by the party endorsement and will continue to the primary if he doesn’t win.

Conservatives may be shocked to look at Madel's legal career which included numerous questionable cases such as defending a Somali terrorist sympathizer or the several accused rapists he has represented.

Based on the comments that Madel has made on Day 1 of his candidacy, many conservatives will rule him out as a non-option. Conservatives want an outsider who can fix the corrupt system, not a big Democrat donor who has used the corrupt system to manipulate the justice system. Many conservatives are questioning why Alpha News has chosen to prop this individual up and make him a columnist on their website.

Action 4 Liberty will always deliver hard hitting news to Minnesotans that they cannot get anywhere else. Chris Madel has turned conservatives off of his campaign from the jump and clearly would be incapable of uniting the over 1.5M Minnesotans who supported President Trump in 2024. If America First, liberty loving conservatives are not represented on the ballot, they will not show up to vote. Action 4 Liberty will continue to be unwavering in our fight to protect liberty for the next generation.
