The 2026 Minnesota Governor race will be watched nationwide as failed VP candidate Tyrant Tim Walz appears poised to run for a third term. Despite humiliating himself on the national stage, Walz is eyeing the Presidency in 2028 and must maintain the Governorship to stay relevant.

Since being exposed as a habitual liar and total fraud, Walz’ decreasing popularity could be a sign that a strong, unifying Republican candidate could defeat him. Unfortunately for grassroots conservatives, weak and divisive RINO David Hann is considering a run for Governor! See Star Tribune reporter Ryan Faircloth’s post on X below:

Anti-MAGA David Hann was fired as MNGOP Chair by the State Central delegation in December after failing the party in every possible way. From disenfranchising duly-elected delegates to working against endorsed candidates to paying secret companies with party funds like 1972-10 (which is likely ‘White Dude for Kamala’ Michael Brodkorb) to leaving the party financially broke to wiping the MNGOP computer servers like Hillary Clinton, David Hann was a failed Chair on all accounts.

Hann screwed over so many people in the grassroots that he could not even manage to keep the support of the State Central, which is largely made up of party insiders and delegates who have been active within the party for years upon years. Even with the support of unhinged Rep. Walter Hudson, who had more respect among the grassroots at the time, Hann was soundly defeated by Alex Plechash. Perhaps Establishment Cultist Walter Hudson will finish off his clownish routine of attacking grassroots conservatives by running as Hann’s Lt. Governor/running mate! 

All this in mind, Hann would have ZERO chance to win the GOP endorsement or a primary, nonetheless a general election where he would have to unify all conservatives around him to win!

Walz’ dream opponent would be a weak Republican who doesn’t even have the support of his own base. RINO David Hann couldn’t fit that mold any better!

Hann likely knows that he has no chance at winning but is trying to keep his name relevant for his own ego. The grassroots of the MNGOP despises Hann and would likely see his candidacy as a non-factor. Hann reeks of desperation as it is clear that nobody cares about this theoretical campaign.

Interestingly, Hann previously ran an unserious campaign for Governor in 2010 but dropped out after a pathetic (single digit) performance in the straw poll on caucus night in order to avoid any further embarrassment. However, Hann couldn't help himself from further embarrassment as he then allegedly tried to start a "Draft Hann" for Governor movement at a 2012 State Central meeting. A truthful "draft" campaign is constituents asking someone to run, not a candidate deceitfully pretending there is natural support for them!

Several other individuals are also considering a run or have already announced their candidacy. Former professional MMA fighter and previous CD3, State Senate, and Hennepin County Commissioner candidate Brad Kohler has launched a Governor campaign, as has former teacher and perennial candidate Phillip Parrish. Though some in the grassroots are interested in following these campaigns, neither appears capable of running a serious statewide campaign and flipping the state. Parrish has even quit the MNGOP before after failing to be elected as party chair, see below:

A number of potential GOP candidates, all of which leaving room to desire, have publicly floated a run in 2026 including the following:

Sen. Zach Duckworth (SD57) - Weak moderate RINO - Post on X rules out U.S. Senate run but leaves door open to Governor run

Dr. Scott Jensen - Former Senator, 2022 GOP Nominee, Strong on Covid but nothing else - Told the Star Tribune last month that he is “strongly considering” another run

Kendall Qualls - Former GOP candidate for Governor and CD3, Supports unilateral Governor Emergency Power lockdown powers - While guest hosting a show on Northern Alliance Radio on 1/26/25, Qualls stated “Running again or being a candidate again is something I’m considering.” “I have not made a final decision. My wife and I are considering it. We’re praying about it. And, you know, we hope to come to this final conclusion soon.” 

Jim Schultz - 2022 GOP Nominee for AG - Told the Star Tribune last month “It has been gratifying to receive so much encouragement to run statewide again.” “My heart is in continuing to serve Minnesota”.

Chris Madel - Trooper Ryan Lonnegren’s Attorney - Post on X by Madel rules out U.S. Senate run, leaves door open for Governor run

Other rumored names and unforeseen candidates will likely emerge as our state is just beginning the 2026 campaign period. Tampon Timmy is in trouble and is surveying the scene until June before making a public announcement. Walz LOST ground in Minnesota for Dems in the 2024 race despite the "home team" advantage. Kamala and Walz UNDER-PERFORMED 2020 Dem results in our state, meanwhile Trump expanded the MAGA base in size and percentage! 

Considering Walz’ recent comments, where he labeled half of the country as “nazis” and “fascists”, he is slipping into deep Blue-Anon territory and has no credibility to tell the truth. Walz even doubled-down on the comments while also trying to pretend he wasn't actually talking about Republicans. The lies keep piling up and the schtick is getting old. Most states have gubernatorial term limits for a reason and Walz may be overstaying his welcome.
