Conservatives across Minnesota have no real representation when GOP legislators constantly cave to the left. One GOP culprit responsible for giving our state billions in debt throughout her long career in politics is RINO Mary Franson (12B). Instead of using her co-chair position on the House Capital Investment Committee to cut spending and oppose more debt for the state, Franson partners with far-left Democrats to waste away your money.

In the House Capital Investment Committee meeting on Tuesday, March 24th, radical leftist and swing district Democrat Brad Take (54A) presented a bill (HF2418) that dealt with local government project plans when granted money through the debt (bonding) bill. While GOP Rep. Tom Sexton (19B) offered skepticism of the bill with questions of cost and exemptions, RINO Mary Franson ensured Tabke that she would work with him to change the minds of GOP legislators on his bill.

As a longtime hater of Erik Mortensen and his anti-establishment principles, it is no surprise that she is chummy with the radical leftist that Mortensen previously defeated.                                        

Following this, Franson told Tabke “This is not like it is your re-election bill, right?” to which she was reminded by a GOP legislator that Tabke only won by 14 votes. Franson then said “That’s true. Maybe.” and laughed it off. She knows the truth about the election fraud in 54A but refused to call it out when it mattered most!

Let’s remember, there were 21 ballots that were TRASHED in the 54A race and the election was decided by just 14 votes! If the 21 properly submitted ballots were counted, Tabke may have lost. With the issue of election integrity being so critical to conservative voters, they were shocked to see the vast majority of the GOP cave and seat Brad Tabke despite having a temporary majority. Meanwhile, A4L continued to champion the cause of election integrity by demanding Tabke's election certificate be rejected and a special election be called (which could've given the GOP a true majority in the House).

RINO Mary Franson voted for the deal cooked up behind closed doors between Democrats and Lisa Demuth. See floor vote on House Rules ensuring Tabke was seated where only GOP Reps Tom Dippel (41B) and Drew Roach (58B) voted no below:

This is not the first time that Franson has voted for something and then complained about it after! Franson joined other Uniparty swamp-creatures in passing a bill (HF1370) that allows Keith Ellison to imprison and fine Minnesotans for posting A.I. memes of politicians. Franson later sued against the law and the court used her vote for the legislation as evidence that she was aware of the consequences of her vote and did not have legitimate standing to challenge the law.

Sources at the Capitol tell A4L that Franson was supposed to present the $700M debt bill (HF18) in 2025 on the House floor as a co-author of the bill but Franson was too drunk to do so! This may explain why she did not vote on the bill’s final passage despite voting on bills earlier on in the day. If true, Franson’s constituents would likely be very upset if their district’s representation is too intoxicated of representing them during critical votes.

If you want to learn how out of touch Franson is with grassroots conservatives, look no further than her support for woke male Viking cheerleaders and her cringe-worthy pro-debt song on a taxpayer funded bus tour. See for yourself if you dare:

Conservatives in Minnesota are being stabbed in the back by big government RINOs and stabbed in the front by radical left Democrats. Despite seemingly knowing better, Mary Franson is doing the wrong thing by voting for bigger government time after time. Franson is a known joke around the Capitol and has never faced a serious primary challenge. A4L will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else.
