Swamp creature Keri Heintzeman’s campaign finance report for the state senate special election appears to have campaign finance violations and is filled with massive funding from lobbyists, RINOs, and a corrupt MNGOP state party officer.

The Minnesota Senate special election in District 6 will take place tomorrow, Tuesday, April 15th. The winner of the primary will face Democrat Denise Slipy in this deep red district which was previously held by Justin Eichorn (who has federal charges for trying to prostitute a minor). Trump won this district by 31 percentage points last year.

Action 4 Liberty has reviewed the campaign finance reports for candidates in the senate special election and have noticed something that would normally seem to be a major violation within RINO Keri Heintzeman’s report. Individuals are limited to donating $1,000 to a candidate during a special election according to the CFB. On Heintzeman’s report, four individuals can be found donating $2,000. See below:

In speaking with the CFB, A4L learned that Heintzeman is allowed to accept what would normally be seen as twice the legal limit from the Nystroms because she received them before the election was called March 25th. The Nystroms are in the behavioral health clinic business. Heintzeman clearly knows how to work the system for her benefit and is raking in major cash in the process. The CFB report can be read in full here.

Keri Heintzeman has raked in over $50K from lobbyists (special interests), RINOs, and a corrupt MNGOP state party officer. Lobbyists buying off Heintzeman before she even gets into office shows that she will do their bidding instead of the bidding of the SD6 constituents. Heintzeman has taken in over $7,300 from lobbyists as of April 8th. Keri is the candidate for the special interests!

KAXE reported on the massive money behind Heintzeman and that the majority of money for this race was raised out of district for Heintzeman, Carnahan, Cotariu (personal loan aside), and Gazelka. See below:

Loyalists to HRCC Chair RINO Josh Heintzeman can be located on a mailer sent to voters from the Heintzeman campaign listing endorsements. Interestingly, Heintzeman leaves unhinged Walter Hudson off the list despite his reposting on her campaign’s content on social media. The legislative endorsements clearly show RINOs who do not want problems with Josh as HRCC Chair so they endorse and enable his corruption. See below:

Heintzeman has also received major funding from RINOs including former GOP House leader Kurt Daudt, former state Rep. Kelly Fenton, failed Governor candidate Dr. Scott Jensen, Laura Merickel (wife of corrupt mega-donor Tommy Merickel), and crazed feminist & MNGOP Secretary Joy Orvis. It is interesting Heintzeman kept these names off of her mailer, including unhinged Walter Hudson who has reposted her content on social media.

Like was highlighted in previous A4L reporting, state party officers are obligated to only support endorsed GOP candidates. No endorsing convention took place for this district which means state party officers should not be placing their thumbs on the scale with endorsements or donations. Being a state party officer requires neutrality and Orvis’ maxxed out contribution to Heintzeman shows clear bias.

In addition to Heintzeman, RINO Paul Gazelka’s son is also running and had some swamp creature backing himself! Josh has gotten thousands from his family, former Xcel Energy CEO Ben Fowke and his wife SD45 BPOU Chair Kathleen Fowke, and former U.S. Congressman Vin Weber. His full report can be seen here.
