Conservatives in Minnesota are fed up with rampant fraud and out of control spending. In response, RINO State Senators are anxious to give MN more debt by funding politicians’ pet projects in the bonding bill. Hypocrite RINO legislators tell their Republican constituents that they are going to cut spending and fight fraud when they just sit on their hands and vote for corrupt omnibus bills.

As seen on the MN Senate GOP website, three RINO Senators have posted articles/press releases about the upcoming special session that show just how out of step they are with the average conservative. As seen in previous A4L reporting, the 2026 legislative session will start on Tuesday, February 17th and the competing interests between the Establishment and the Grassroots should be on full display.

RINO Sen. Paul Utke (SD5) was the first GOP Senator to post about the 2026 legislative session on the Senate GOP website and within the first paragraph, it is clear Utke has been successfully propagandized by the St. Paul Swamp. Utke states “in each biennium we have a budget year and a bonding year” and says “the legislature’s main focus will be putting together a bonding bill”. This is totally false!

The legislature is under NO obligation to pass a debt-ridden omnibus bonding bill! Unlike the state budget appropriations passed in odd-numbered years, a bonding bill is not required to pass. MN didn't even have legislators meet in even-numbered legislative years until 1973 and the additional session was intended to allow lawmakers to finish unfinished business, make technical corrections, or respond to emergencies, NOT to give the state more debt!

Keep in mind, the MN legislature ALREADY passed a $700M debt (bonding) bill and it stretched the limits of MN’s bond rating. While some local project funding is uncontroversial, a large bonding bill is completely unnecessary. MN taxpayers would benefit much more from having their surplus dollars returned to them.

Bonding bills are a tool for Uniparty politicians to take credit for local project funding and use it for campaign purposes. Utke goes on to complain about runaway spending in MN despite the fact that he is advocating for more runaway spending and debt! Utke has announced he is running for reelection in 2026 and will face Rep. Mike Wiener (5B) for the GOP endorsement, which Utke was unable to capture in 2022 against Bret Bussman. 

A day or two after Utke’s nonsense statement was posted, Sen. Steve Green (SD2) posted the same garbage! In some paragraphs, the statements are word for word the exact same! Green should not complain about out of control spending if he is not committed to actually fighting it! Supporting the passage of massive debt for our state is not fiscally conservative, it is extremely liberal.

RINO Senators Jason Rarick (SD11) and Gene Dornink (SD23) rounded out the RINOs on the MN Senate GOP website hypocritically promoting a debt bill while simultaneously complaining about fraud and spending. Rarick even argues that the legislature won’t accomplish much besides passing a bonding bill. It sounds like Rarick has given up before they’ve even gaveled in.

Of course, Utke, Green, Dornink, and Rarick are not the only RINO legislators that may vote for a corrupt debt bill. As seen in previous A4L reporting, only 10 of 33 GOP Senators and 15 of 67 GOP Representatives voted against the $700M debt bill last year. The vast majority of GOP legislators are backstabbing the constituents who put them in power. This is not to mention that GOP leadership cemented $14B in bloated Democrat spending by passing the 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history last year.

Unlike the RINOs' statements on the upcoming legislative session, the message Sen. Bill Lieske (SD58) conveyed on the Senate GOP website lists fraud, affordability, high taxes, and transparency as legislative focuses. Lieske doesn't even mention bonding in his statement and seems to be aligned with the grassroots to shrink the size and scope of our government.

Minnesotans are over-taxed and are sick of the excuses from Uniparty politicians. Instead of putting our state in debt, legislators could return the over $6.2B surplus to taxpayers, who could receive around $2,500 each! The GOP controls the House and legislation cannot pass without their support, if they hold strong (specifically Speaker Lisa Demuth), they can BLOCK more debt for our state!

Action 4 Liberty will continue serving as the megaphone of the grassroots and will never concede an inch on principle. A4L brings Patriots hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else and we will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation. Liberty is not protected when your tax dollars are not protected.

On August 20th 2025, RINO Kristin Robbins announced she would be running for Governor, highlighting her role as Chair of the House Fraud Committee. While lacking grassroots support, the media and political class saw her as a strong contender. Since this point, Robbins has been on a downward spiral and has likely squashed her chances at becoming the Republican nominee for Governor.

On October 16th, Robbins announced her campaign claiming to have the endorsements of sixteen current and former MN legislators and two former federal officials. See below:

Unfortunately for Robbins, only Dave Baker and Barb Haley can be traced as real supporters! Baker and Haley both donated to Robbins' campaign and Haley sits on the campaign’s finance committee. Natalie Zeleznikar did share an article on social media when Robbins announced but never released a public endorsement. As for the others - A4L could not locate a single social media post or other public statement confirming that they actually support her campaign! In fact, it is not clear which of the names mentioned above still support Robbins! The names cannot even be listed as endorsements on Wikipedia’s 2026 MN Governor race page because they are not confirmed publicly by any news source.

As an elected official endorsing someone for the highest office in the state of Minnesota, it is odd that they wouldn't want people to know about their endorsement. Why are GOP legislators not making it clear where they stand on the Governor’s race?

Things went sideways for Robbins when Lisa Demuth entered the race on November 2nd. Robbins initially tried to slam Demuth for the backroom budget deal Demuth cut with Walz but the argument fell flat because Robbins voted for 8 of the 14 bills made in this deal! Robbins was silent on the corruption when it mattered most (during the special session but A4L sounded the alarm and called out the corruption as it was all going down. On the other hand, Lisa Demuth kept it cordial and complimentary in her response to Robbins.

It is no surprise that spineless RINO legislators got quiet once they realized they had a cat-fight on their hands! They’ve now got their elected legislative leader (Lisa Demuth) running shortly after they endorsed a colleague (Kristin Robbins) for the same position. They've also got another colleague (Peggy Bennett) who is also running despite her campaign's irrelevancy.

Demuth's campaign took a lot of the oxygen out of the room for Robbins. Kristin Robbins went from being the only female legislator running to one of three female legislators running and is out-ranked by one of them. Robbins was named chair of the performative and useless House Fraud Committee by Lisa Demuth so they are now forced to share talking points. Demuth further cut Robbins out of the picture by quickly naming Ryan Wilson as her running mate, eliminating any possibility of a coalition ticket.

As seen in previous A4L reporting, Robbins had a very weak performance in the caucus straw poll despite strong fundraising numbers. Robbins lost to “Undecided” and is clearly not what the GOP base is looking for. Instead of accepting this reality, Robbins excused her performance by blaming the results on her refusal to abide by the party endorsement. While that may have played a factor, most caucus attendees likely had no idea which candidates planned to abide and which ones didn’t. 

Robbins was the MN Nikki Haley campaign chair and desperately tried to prevent President Trump from retaking the White House. Haley has sent two texts/emails to her supporters getting campaign money for Robbins on both Sep. 18th and one on Nov. 12th. If she somehow became the GOP nominee for Governor, the conservative base and conservatives at large would not show up to vote. For the GOP to win, it will take nearly every single one of the over 1.5M MN Trump voters to turn out again in 2026 and a typical RINO cannot do that.

A rumor floating around is that Kristin Robbins will eventually become Kendall Qualls’ running mate. Some evidence this by pointing to Robbins’ campaign chair being David Fraunshush, who gave $75K to Qualls for his 2022 Governor campaign. Since she is too deep in the hole to win the GOP endorsement or primary at this point, it would not be surprising to see her team up with another candidate as the GOP race becomes a three-way contest between Lisa Demuth, Mike Lindell, and Kendall Qualls.

The downward spiral of Kristin Robbins’ campaign has made it clear that she is out of touch with MN conservatives and appears to continually lose support. Action 4 Liberty will continue bringing Patriots bold, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that pulls no punches. While RINOs cave on the principles they were elected to represent, A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

While Democrats destroy Minnesota and prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens, MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash backstabs the Republican base by praising radical leftists Tim Walz and Jacob Frey.

Democrats have radical positions across the board and made MN the Fraud Capital of the nation. MN Dems support mutilating children, want men in women’s locker rooms, protected pedophiles in the MN Human Rights Act, support late-term and post birth abortions, want to destroy the 2nd Amendment, and prioritize illegal aliens over American citizens and MN taxpayers. 

The Democrats have the radical platform but it is always Republicans that are caving! When the GOP abandons their base, the base will not show up to vote!

On Thursday Feb. 12th, Alex Plechash put out a statement praising Tim Walz and Jacob Frey for “their unprecedented cooperation with ICE”. Of course, Minneapolis remains a sanctuary city for illegal aliens and the two of them have done all that they can to demonize ICE agents like calling them Nazis and every other insult they could think of. See Plechash statement below:

Alex Plechash is OUT OF TOUCH with the MN Republican base! As seen in the statement above, he fails to mention that Walz and Frey have released criminal illegal aliens back into the streets, stoked the flames, and encouraged lunatic protesters to riot. They have protected illegal aliens and Somali fraudsters more than they protect tax dollars yet Plechash is ready to heap on the praise.

Let’s make it clear: Walz and Frey have partially succumbed to ICE’s deportation operation because of the political and legal pressure they faced. Their newfound, limited, cooperation with ICE is a direct result of the DOJ subpoenas they received and the political pressure they face under the national spotlight. Walz and Frey have not had a genuine change of heart, they have calculated that President Trump’s Administration holds more cards than they do so they will do the bare minimum to avoid more trouble for themselves.

Instead of recognizing Walz and Frey as the selfish, far-left, corrupt, crooked politicians that they are, Alex Plechash has muddied the water and has made grassroots conservatives livid.

Plechash was elected by conservative delegates who were fed up with the corruption and leftist ideology of David Hann. Many remember that Hann secretly paid a Kamala/Walz supporter tens of thousands in party funds (as exposed by A4L), sent a letter demanding GOP candidates argue that abortion up to the moment of birth was a Constitutional Right in MN, and would partner with crooked leftist Ken Martin for unity projects. Instead of being different from Hann, Plechash has has served the interests of the very same RINO Establishment that has caused the MNGOP to be winless statewide for twenty years.

Caving to the left and dishonestly praising corrupt Democrat politicians will always be losing ideas among conservatives. Alex Plechash has made a gigantic fool out of himself and his statement shows exactly why the Grassroots do not trust Establishment RINOs. Conservatives cannot be tricked into believing that Walz and Frey are on the same page as Republicans on immigration and deportations no matter how Plechash tries to spin things.

Plechash praising Walz and Frey joins the growing list of his failures as MNGOP Chair which includes violating Article IV, Section 8 of the MNGOP Bylaws by issuing a worthless endorsement of RINO CD7 Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach pre-endorsing convention, promoted pro-abortion/anti-Trump Michele Tafoya on social media upon her entering the U.S. Senate race unlike all other candidates, and covered for RINO legislators who voted to fund abortion with tax dollars.

While the RINO Establishment continues to be suck-up to the radical left, Action 4 Liberty will continue to champion conservative, pro-liberty, Constitutional principles. A4L remains the cutting edge source for Patriots with reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. A4L will never abandon our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

The 2026 Minnesota legislative session is quickly approaching and is set to gavel in at noon on Tuesday, February 17th. After national exposure of MN’s fraud scandal forced Tim Walz to drop his reelection bid, eyes will be on the State Legislature to cut the size of government and only fund core, Constitutional spending obligations. Before laying out anticipated legislative actions, let’s remember what took place last year.

In the 2025 session, RINOs caved to liberal demands and seated leftist Brad Tabke despite 21 ballots being trashed in his district and he only won by 15 votes, ensuring the GOP could not get a legislative majority. This led to the passage of the 2nd LARGEST budget in Minnesota history. Despite controlling the State House, RINOs maintained the status quo by utilizing corrupt, unconstitutional omnibus bills that recklessly dished out billions of dollars. In passing and agreeing to the leftist budget plan, RINOs locked-in about $14B in Democrat spending that was initially added to the budget during Covid.

The GOP had the opportunity to play hard-ball (shut down the MN government) and hold Walz accountable by defunding fraud-ridden programs and drastically cutting spending. Instead, RINOs worked with Democrats to increase Socialist Keith Ellison’s budget, funded abortion/Planned Parenthood with your tax dollars, spent billions funding the MN Somali fraud operation (where tax dollars ended up in the hands of Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab), gave billions to woke universities to propagandize students, passed a $700M debt (bonding) bill, gave millions funding a DEI center for the Dept. of Education, and gave millions funding a LGBTQIA2S+ council. 

Lisa Demuth voted for EVERY SINGLE one of the bills mentioned above. Even worse: She voted for EVERY SINGLE bill that Walz signed into law in 2025! Walz was only able to run the Somali fraud operation because the legislature voted to give him the money! 

Lisa Demuth, Kristin Robbins, and Peggy Bennett are all running for the GOP endorsement for Governor and Republican voters will be closely watching their actions during the legislative session. More so than other GOP legislators, Lisa Demuth has the power to prevent bad bills from receiving floor votes and can be unrelenting in negotiations with Democrats. Instead, we are likely to see the Uniparty continue on with their corrupt ways.

With the state budget passed, the 2026 legislative session is more policy focused with some examples of supplemental spending. Below you will see ten legislative issues the Establishment is prioritizing vs. ten issues the Grassroots is prioritizing:

Establishment Uniparty Priorities

1. Pass debt (bonding) bill to fund pet projects for politicians
2. Impose unconstitutional gun control
3. Oppose I.C.E. deportations
4. Pass Democrat Lindsey Port’s bills to give away tax dollars to Minneapolis residents and businesses due to I.C.E. operations
5. Protect squatters not paying rent, including illegal aliens
6. Performative measures about fraud while pushing aside root causes
7. Maintain use of unconstitutional, multi-subject omnibus bills
8. Spend away surplus dollars
9. Impose liberal regulations 
10. Honor Melissa Hortman, who was a corrupt politician that was tragically murdered by a deranged lunatic

Grassroots Conservative Priorities

1. Return surplus money to taxpayers
2. Eliminate state income tax
3. Eliminate property tax
4. Block all gun control
5. Eliminate CCAP funding/defund all fraud-ridden programs
6. Block debt (bonding) bill
7. Repeal far-left laws imposed by Democrats and RINOs
8. Pass Sen. Wesenberg’s bill to commission Charlie Kirk statue at U of M
9. Defund welfare for illegal aliens/no free college for illegal aliens
10. Eliminate MN paid leave program

The creation of an Office of Inspector General is anticipated to again be debated. In 2025, one of the bills doing this (SF856) was passed in the State Senate by a vote of 60-7 but it was not given a floor vote in the House due to the bill being held up in the House State Government Finance and Policy Committee (co-chaired by RINO Jim Nash and Democrat Ginny Klevorn). Rep. Patti Anderson attempted to give the bill a floor vote with a motion to suspend the rules (requiring 2/3rds support) but all the vote did was provide cover for swing district Democrats like Matt Norris, Brad Tabke, and Dan Wolgamott because the Dems did not need their votes and they could appear moderate without consequences by voting with the GOP. 

The main issue with SF856 was that the Governor would appoint the Inspector General despite Tim Walz’ fraud scheme being one of the major reasons the position would need to be created in the first place! While the bill allows the Legislative Inspector General Advisory Commission to be able to provide recommendations, it does not mandate the Governor follow their selection. Of course Walz would select someone who will continue to cover up the fraud! Additionally, expanding the government to create this office does not guarantee good results as there are many examples of Inspector General offices committing fraud themselves!

Reporting suggests there will also be some legislative priorities that will likely be less controversial subjects like sports betting regulation, removing lead water pipes, and keeping zoning control in the hands of local authorities. The largest uniparty priority will be giving our state debt through a costly, multi-subject bonding bill that gives away your tax dollars to the pet projects of politicians. The debt bill is the ultimate way for the Establishment to scratch each other's backs and give incumbents some local project that benefits them electorally. A $700M bonding bill was already passed last year but that is not enough for greedy politicians. 

Action 4 Liberty will continue being the cutting-edge source for grassroots Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. A4L will keep Minnesotans updated as the legislative session unfolds and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

The MN Democrat Party is a financial powerhouse that the GOP has failed to keep up with for decades. Republicans are at a major fundraising disadvantage and Democrats have stacked the deck. In order to win the MN Governor race, Republicans will need big money from conservatives around the nation. Democrats are ready to pull out all the stops and spend as much as needed. Unfortunately for Republicans, Lisa Demuth has put a spending limit on her campaign in order to participate in the Socialist public subsidy agreement and receive YOUR tax dollars to spend on campaign purposes.

Candidates have a choice when filing for office whether to participate in the public subsidy agreement or not. The program requires your campaign to set a spending limit and in return you get thousands in tax dollars. In 2022, Jensen received over half a million dollars, Keith Ellison got over $146K, Julie Blaha got over $55K, and Kim Crockett got over $66K. See below:

In 2024, the CFB spent over $2M of your tax dollars to fund crony politicians with over $1.2M going to Democrats and over $860K going to Republicans. This Socialist program should not exist and only enables candidates to be leaching off of tax dollars. 

Lisa Demuth has signed onto this stupid agreement and is CAPPED at a little over $4.2M spending IN TOTAL for the primary and general elections! See the following on Demuth’s CFB filing:

In contrast, Amy Klobuchar does not have a spending limit, which means she could spend a billion dollars and there’s nothing Demuth could do about it. See below:

Lisa Demuth’s main Republican opponents, Mike Lindell and Kendall Qualls, have both refused the public subsidy agreement and have no spending limit (click names to view CFB filings). By doing so, Lindell and Qualls give themselves a fighting chance against Klobuchar. Meanwhile, Demuth handcuffed herself and would go into the general election with a disadvantage. Another Governor candidate, minister John Krhin, recently posted a video on social media explaining why he is refusing to participate in the public subsidy agreement.

While the 2025 year-end CFB report from Demuth's campaign does not list it, Demuth has already dropped big money on TV commercials for the caucus! All of the money she wastes before the general election is deducted from her $4.2M spending cap, meaning that when she wastes money on caucus commercials, she is hurting her campaign and the GOP's odds of winning the Governorship in 2026!

In 2022, Walz campaign committee spent nearly $10M to keep the Governor’s office in Democrat control and Demuth can’t even spend half of that amount! The millions in dollars that Klobuchar, Walz, and the MN Democrat Party currently have in reserves ALREADY outsizes what Demuth can spend in total! See 2022 Walz campaign spending below:

If Lisa Demuth is the Republican nominee, it will almost GUARANTEE defeat! Aside from being an uninspiring politician with an awful voting record that backstabs conservatives by doing backroom deals with Democrats, Lisa Demuth will not be able to financially compete with Klobuchar. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Demuth raised more from lobbyists and PACs than she did from small dollar donors! In contrast, the majority of Mike Lindell’s financial support came from small dollar, grassroots donors, many of which were out of state (bringing out of state money in will be needed for Republicans to defeat the Democratic machine).

Demuth’s running mate, Ryan Wilson, did not sign onto the public subsidy agreement in his 2022 run for Auditor, making some question why he and Demuth are doing it in an even more high-stakes matchup. While Demuth led the caucus straw poll, she did not get a third of the vote, showing how much of a tossup the GOP race still is.

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. Lisa Demuth has handcuffed her own campaign all for extra campaign funds at the taxpayers’ expense. Demuth makes it next to impossible for Republicans to win, even if she were as strong of a candidate as her supporters make her out to be. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

It appears Jensen has seen the writing on the wall: He is not going to be Governor. As the 2022 nominee for Governor, Jensen has lost touch with the grassroots and has lost a large amount of his support. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Jensen was a distant 4th place finish in the caucus straw poll and embarrassingly received just under 6.5%. Jensen also received ONLY eight votes (2.4%) in the December MNGOP State Central straw poll. Now that it is clear the GOP base doesn’t want his weak-willed leadership, he has given himself a demotion and is running for State Auditor.

The State Auditor race is the most winnable statewide race for Republicans due to the national exposure of fraud, amounting to billions of tax dollars being wasted. Incumbent Democrat Auditor, Julie “White Claw” Blaha, failed to act upon massive fraud and has played cover for the entire operation. She is not seeking reelection after winning by just 0.34% (8,435 votes) in 2022.

Scott Jensen lost to Tim Walz in 2022 by over 7.5% and by most accounts, Klobuchar will be a more formidable opponent. When the spotlight was on Jensen, he did not meet the moment and lost to an incompetent, lying, far-left, career politician fraudster. Jensen failed to deliver memorable, hard-hitting attacks in his debates with Walz and caved to the left at every turn.

Jensen was having a tough time selling Republicans on giving him another chance to lead the ticket, especially with some of his leftist views. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Jensen berated GOP State Senator Glenn Gruenhagen (SD17) for being “part of the problem” by bringing up “social issues” like opposing late term abortions and child transgender mutilation. Despite previously being all over the map, Jensen has argued that abortion, up to the moment of birth, is a Constitutional Right in Minnesota. Jensen previously interned for Planned Parenthood and voted for taxpayer funded abortion while in the State Senate. He also previously caved to Moms Demand Action and pushed gun control legislation.

A video was posted on social media by Scott Jensen announcing that he is ending his campaign and running for State Auditor. See below:

Today I’m announcing that I am withdrawing from the Governor’s race, instead I am running to be the next State Auditor of Minnesota. We need to declare war on waste, fraud, and abuse.  It’s time to protect your paycheck.  Let’s go Minnesota.  Let’s get back to work! pic.twitter.com/sj2VKwe0sX

— Scott Jensen (@drscottjensen) February 9, 2026

In the above video, Jensen fails to mention his running mate even a single time. Perhaps it is because even he couldn’t learn how to pronounce her name, which is Phouthaivanh Wilkerson. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Wilkerson is a Dakota County police officer who was a complete political unknown. It is odd that Jensen would not even mention her in his video since he hoped to make her the second most powerful person in the state! 

Jensen entering the race for Auditor shakes up what was expected to be a one-on-one battle for the MNGOP endorsement between Braham Mayor Nate George and anti-Trump/anti-Charlie Kirk 27 year old Elliott Engen. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Jensen had over $224K cash-on-hand in his Governor campaign account as of Dec. 31st, 2025, giving him a major fundraising advantage over his opponents. In comparison, Engen has over $7,500 cash-on-hand and George has over $2,500.

It was clear that Jensen had no intention of abiding by the MNGOP endorsement while in the Governor’s race and it’s unlikely anything is different for the Auditor race. Sources tell A4L that Elliott Engen has refused to answer if he will abide by the endorsement while Nate George has unequivocally publicly pledged to abide. Nate George also appears to be the only candidate with relevant professional experience who has directly worked with the Auditor’s office.

Despite being entirely reliant on support from the medical freedom community, Jensen has REFUSED to sign A4L’s Never Again Pledge. The Auditor position includes a seat on the Executive Council which votes on Governor Executive Orders and other critical issues. Nate George has signed the Never Again Pledge to prevent unilateral Emergency Powers while Elliott Engen has refused to sign. Engen also voted on the House floor to kill the Never Again Bill.

Jensen’s Plan B campaign will be met with skepticism since he played cover for Somalis after massive Somali fraud received national exposure. In his previous campaign, Jensen sucked up to a voting group that will never vote Republican by helping “usher in the Somali-American Republican Party of Minnesota outreach office”. Jensen even made a video in 2022 celebrating Somali Independence Day! Jensen is not serious about stopping fraud and cleaning up our government, he is too scared to offend the left! 

Jensen will likely struggle to win America First delegates since did not endorse President Trump in 2024 and even helped promote Trump’s Libertarian opponent in 2020, as will Elliott Engen with his anti-Trump past, which even included backstabbing Turning Point USA and calling them “extremism from the right” that was controlled by the “cult of Trump”. Jensen will NOT come off as an America First, Liberty Constitutionalist with the Ukraine-style campaign color scheme seen on his website! As seen in A4L Scorecards, Jensen and Engen have voted for all kinds of fraud-ridden, unconstitutional omnibus bills, Engen even voted for a bill that funneled tax dollars to Muslim Somali terrorist group Al-Shabaab but now wants to clean up the mess he and other Uniparty politicians caused?!?!

Tensions were beginning to rise between Engen and George without Jensen even entering the fray, though Engen has already attacked Jensen as a "perennial loser". Engen argues George is boring while George argues that Engen is immature and making sensational promises that cannot even be done through the Auditor’s office. See below:

As mentioned, the State Auditor race is the most winnable statewide office for Republicans with the fraud scandal being on every voters’ mind. The GOP nominee will take on Forward-Independence Party nominee Jay Reeves and one of the four Democrats seeking their party’s endorsement: former Duluth city councilman Zack Filipovich, Tonka Bay mayor Adam Jennings, former Fergus Falls mayor Ben Schierer, and vodka-chugging DWI Dan Wolgamott.

Action 4 Liberty will continue bringing Patriots hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. A4L remains the voice of grassroots conservatives because we never cave on principles. A4L will continue fighting for our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

My Pillow CEO and America First lightning rod Mike Lindell has been the center of attention in the GOP field of Governor candidates due to his style, personality, and agenda as an outsider businessman. Like President Trump, Lindell is a media magnet that cannot help but draw attention to his cause. Despite the negative hit pieces from the leftist media, Lindell is leading in new GOP primary polling for Governor.

Polling released from Peak Insights included 500 participants and asked about various MN Republican primary elections. The full poll can be seen here. Notably, Mike Lindell led the pack with 18% while a plurality of voters remain undecided. See polling below:

Absent from the above polling is Governor candidates Raul Estrada and John Krhin, both of which have signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge as has Mike Lindell, Brad Kohler, and Phil Parrish.

It is not a surprise that Lindell leads among Republican voters, especially considering 68% of individuals polled self-ascribed themselves as a part of the “Trump/MAGA wing” of the GOP. As a leader in the Stop The Steal effort, Lindell helped to expose election fraud nationally and keep the base unified post-2020 in support of the mission of clean elections. Most RINO politicians abandoned President Trump and the election integrity movement but Mike Lindell and the grassroots never left his side. Due to Lindell’s commitment on the issue as a private citizen, many Patriots respect that he is willing to stick his neck on the line for his beliefs. With election fraud from 2020 finally being exposed like 315K Georgia votes lacking signature certification, Lindell may have been ahead of the curve.

Lindell benefitted from a boost by President Trump when he stated at a rally that Mike deserves to be Governor of Minnesota and it appears a plurality of MN Republicans agree. Mike has consistently placed in the top three for local straw polls across the state and has serious name recognition among the grassroots.

In order to win the Governor’s race, the MNGOP is going to need a candidate that can fire up the MAGA base to vote. President Trump won over 1.5M votes in MN in 2024 and it will take just about every single one of them turning out in 2026 in order for the GOP to win. If the GOP nominates someone whose political record and agenda are not aligned with liberty conservatives, they will lose.

Lindell also makes the Governor’s race competitive in a way other candidates cannot. Mike Lindell has grassroots support nationwide and will not be only reliant on MN Republicans to fund his campaign. Out-of-state, small dollar, grassroots donors clearly do not control Lindell with their donations, they are simply conservatives who are aligned with Mike in the fight to retake Minnesota. While some use this as an attack line against Lindell, it is a good thing for the MNGOP, not a bad thing, to have a candidate who can bring in big money to compete with the Democratic machine. 

The poll also included questions surrounding the U.S. Senate race and the results has some conservatives scratching their heads. In the poll, it claims that pro-abortion/anti-Trump Michele Tafoya leads the U.S. Senate primary by 30 points. See below:

This poll has been propped up by the RINO-controlled NRSC which has endorsed Tafoya’s candidacy. According to Alpha News, a spokesperson for Tafoya’s campaign did not respond to media inquiry when asked if Peak Insights poll was commissioned by her campaign or if they would provide the full crosstabs for the poll.

It seems highly unlikely that the popular 2024 GOP nominee for U.S. Senate, Royce White, would be polling at 11%. It also seems unlikely that Adam Schwarze, who has been doing tons of on the ground events with Republicans, would be at just 4%. 

Another reason to view the Senate polling with a grain of salt is that it says corrupt David Hann has more people that view him favorably than unfavorably! What kind of Republican would possibly view him favorably after A4L exposed that he secretly paid a Kamala/Walz supporter tens of thousands of dollars with MNGOP funds? See below:

The Establishment desperately wants to keep the MAGA base uninspired and obedient to RINO politicians. MN Republicans have long waited for the opportunity to win statewide and see 2026 as their chance to make it happen. 

A4L will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, pro-liberty reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. While the RINOs try to squash grassroots momentum, A4L will never back down from exposing corruption. A4L will continue fighting for our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

Minnesota public schools have become leftist indoctrination camps due to woke policies pushed by the leadership of the MN teachers union (Education Minnesota) and the Minnesota School Board Association (MSBA). Schools should be focused on providing students with knowledge on core subjects, not force-feeding kids leftist propaganda. Now, it appears that local school boards are fed up with the top-down, DEI mandates imposed on them for.

DEI has been a tool of the left to prioritize racial minorities over white people based purely on skin color. DEI replaces merit-based programs by prioritizing immutable human characteristics for opportunity. By masking reverse-racist policies under the guise of values like diversity, equity, and inclusion, the Left is influencing young minds to hate white people and believe nonsense.

School boards across Minnesota have clearly dealt with frustrated parents who do not want leftist propaganda pushed onto their children in a public school. As a government program, public schools should not serve partisan ends. As seen in previous A4L reporting, the Minneapolis Public Schools allowed kids to skip school for five weeks to participate in anti-ICE riots.

The school boards across Minnesota do not want to be responsible for the woke, leftist agenda any longer and are pushing back! At a recent Hopkins School Board meeting, MSBA Director of Leadership Development & Executive Search, Barb Dorn, admitted that about 75% of MN school boards OPPOSED the radical DEI policies proposed by MSBA! See video below:

🚨Almost 250 (75%) of MSBA's membership pushed back on their DEI strategic plan.

Just let that sink in for a second. 75% of all school boards… pic.twitter.com/aeN9C5bK9c

School boards members typically lean left and have been controlled by Democrats for most of recent history. This in mind, 75% of MN school boards standing up to their school board state leadership on DEI policies shows just how out of step the MSBA is from the average school board member and that they're even further out of step from the average parent.

Minnesotans are frustrated with woke Democrat policies invading every aspect of their lives. Public schools must return to prioritizing education on core subjects above all else and preparing students for the real world. The DEI experimentation by the far-left has been an abysmal failure and has made society more divided as opposed to less.

In the 2025 legislative session, all House Republicans except Drew Roach (58B) and Mike Weiner (5B) voted for a $2M DEI office for the Department of Education, proving that DEI is not just a Democrat problem but rather a Uniparty problem. This spending bill (HF2433) can be read about more in our previous reporting.

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. The out of touch Leftists promoting DEI do not have the numbers on their side, people are fed up with nonsense. A4L will continue being the megaphone of the grassroots and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

RINO State Representative and Governor candidate, Kristin Robbins, chairs the House Fraud Committee yet has voted for fraud-ridden, unconstitutional omnibus bills throughout her career. While A4L and the grassroots have long known of the corruption and fraud hidden deep within omnibus bills, which are sometimes thousands of pages long, Kristin Robbins has been a loyal ally to the Establishment Uniparty. Now, the DC Swamp is treating Robbins like some kind of expert on fraud in Minnesota.

Kristin Robbins testified in the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday, Feb. 4th after testifying in the U.S. House Oversight Committee on Jan. 7th alongside fellow Establishment goons Walter Hudson and Marion Rarick. Like Robbins, Hudson and Rarick have also voted for fraud-ridden omnibus bills as evidenced in A4L Scorecards.  

Robbins has a FAILING 59.39% lifetime score in A4L Scorecards with votes including including spending tax dollars to fund abortion/Planned Parenthood, increasing Keith Ellison’s AG budget/giving millions of tax dollars to a LGBTQIA+ Council, proposing a FAKE Never Again Bill that increased Governor Emergency Powers, giving billions of tax dollars to woke universities, and giving our state $700M in debt. 

Robbins and the GOP legislators controlling the State House have had the opportunity to play hard-ball and defund the fraud by shutting down Walz' government if need be. Robbins voted to seat radical leftist Brad Tabke despite the massive election fraud in his district that could’ve changed the results of the election. If they had done so, the GOP could’ve expanded their control but they instead caved to the Democrats. With true GOP control, they could’ve refused to fund the fraud and return Minnesota to conservative governance but the RINOs instead chose to cut deals with Democrats and continue forward the corrupt practice of fraud-ridden omnibus bills.

Everyone knows that Congress is broken and that most of the DC politicians are sell-outs. It is no surprise that the DC Swamp looks for a solution to MN fraud by turning to an Establishment RINO responsible for passing fraud-ridden bills signed into law by Tampon Tim. 

Committee hearings are often performative and lead to no action. As seen on Kristin Robbin’s social media, she was immediately posting clips and pictures of her testimony to boost her political profile. This is all about playing to the camera and giving tough talk but the RINOs now have to contend with conservatives that know their games and inaction. This is why the MN House Fraud Committee was doomed from its inception, it lacked teeth and the ability to take action. The Fraud Committee could not compel testimony, did not move legislation, and served as a performative measure for partisan ends. The issue of MN fraud was not solved by the committee, the problem was just kicked down the road.

While Robbins’ attendance will lead to nothing of substance, independent investigative journalist David Hoch also testified and was Nick Shirley’s right hand man in uncovering Somali fraud in MN. Hoch has long fought for exposure on this critical issue and is serving as an expert witness while Robbins is just climbing the political ladder. 

Despite the national exposure and DC Swamp propping her up, Robbins has failed to capitalize on it in a meaningful way in the Governor’s race. Robbins partook in a Morrison County GOP forum took place shortly after her first DC testimony and she failed to even mention that it happened during her answers!

Despite Robbins’ campaign incompetency, she has raised over $550K as seen in previous A4L reporting. Robbins was assisted in fundraising by NeoCon Nikki Haley, who even called Robbins her “secret weapon”. Robbins was the Chair of Haley’s MN Presidential campaign and fought to make sure President Trump would not retake the White House.

As mentioned, a candidate that raised over $550K and has over $372K cash-on-hand as of Dec. 31st 2025, one would think that this candidate would perform well in polling. Unfortunately for RINO Kristin Robbins, she lost to NOBODY! More GOP caucus attendees selected “Undecided” than Robbins in the caucus straw poll! Kristin Robbins is more like Nikki Haley than many would have thought since Nikki ALSO lost to ‘None of the Above” in the Nevada primary when President Trump was kept off the ballot. See caucus straw poll results below, cut off results are due to the MNGOP website formatting:

It is one thing for a low-name ID, grassroots candidate to perform poorly in the straw poll. It is a completely different situation when a State Representative boosted to high-profile roles with over HALF A MILLION DOLLARS behind them can’t even get 5% in a straw poll!

Kristin Robbins is out of touch with grassroots conservatives but she has enough campaign funds to stay in the race. Robbins has not committed to supporting the endorsed candidate and may run to a primary. Robbins has a history of primarying endorsed Republicans as she did to conservative Brad Ganzer in her first run for State House after Ganzer was endorsed by local Republican delegates.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to provide Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, pro-liberty reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. RINO Kristin Robbins is part of the problem and will not be part of the solution in reducing the size and scope of government. Drastic changes are needed and Robbins is an incrementalist at best for conservatives. The MN fraud issue will continue to persist until tax dollars are respected and government spending is kept to serve its core, Constitutional obligations. 

RINO Ron Kresha (10A) continues to find new ways to make a fool of himself! After being pressured not to seek reelection by the grassroots due to his ultra-liberal voting record and alleged PPP loan fraud, Kresha has lost nearly ALL of his support in the district. At the Feb. 3rd caucus, Kresha was humiliated in front of the entire room and could not win a delegate position in his local precinct.

At the Morrison County GOP caucus in the Little Falls HS cafeteria, some attendees had a difficult time hearing Morrison GOP Chair Noel Collis while he was explaining how precincts will elect BPOU delegates. Collis, a retired physician, stated a specialist was needed and asked 2025 A4L Top Activist Paul Tuschy to explain the delegate election process to caucus attendees.

Paul Tuschy, a longtime Republican activist who is very familiar with caucus protocol, was obstructed from explaining delegate elections by RINO Ron Kresha, who stood up in a fury, yelling and screaming that Tuschy does not live in the district. Unfortunately for RINO Ron, Tuschy IS a resident and eligible voter for district 10A. Keep in mind, what Kresha was objecting to was simply allowing a Republican activist to explain a piece of paper to attendees, nothing more and nothing less.

Republican attendees appeared dismayed and began shouting down Kresha, with some even thinking that he is a Democrat agitator. Grassroots conservatives said “Sit down Ron”, “Sit down you idiot!”, “You’re done!”, “What are you doing Ron!?”, and argued that Tuschy knows how to explain the delegate process. Senator Nathan Wesenberg was given the floor by Chair Collis and calmly explained what was going on. Kresha continued interjecting so Wesenberg said that people weren’t there for a “b**ch-match” and that Kresha was out of order and lying about Tuschy's residency.

One attendee even took a VIDEO of what happened! The video can be viewed HERE.

Seeing the company Kresha surrounds himself with, it is no surprise some thought he was a leftist disrupter. See Kresha happily posing with corrupt Democrat Governor candidate Amy Klobuchar:

The night eventually turned to the election of precinct leadership and BPOU delegates. As a BPOU delegate in Morrison County, an individual earns the ability to vote at the Morrison BPOU convention and can vote in the state House/Senate GOP endorsements. 

With Kresha leaving office in disgrace, he still hoped to cling onto a delegate seat so he can vote on the endorsement for who will succeed him and take over as the 10A State Representative. Unfortunately for RINO Ron, the spectacle he caused earlier in the night and his legislative career spoke for themselves. Kresha ran to be a delegate but was REJECTED by the grassroots for all ELEVEN of the available spots. In the end, Kresha became the 2nd Alternate for the BPOU convention, meaning that if the delegates show up to the SD10 Endorsing Convention, Kresha will not be allowed to vote!

Kresha is out of touch with grassroots conservatives with more and more locals realizing the RINO he is. Kresha was unable to be endorsed by the GOP in 2022 and 2024 for a reason, he has failed to represent his conservative constituents. It is no wonder why the grassroots decided that they should choose their next legislator, not the incumbent that has failed to represent them.

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with hard-hitting, anti-establishment, liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else in MN. RINO Ron Kresha is feeling the consequences of backstabbing conservatives and only A4L will provide you with that story. A4L will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.
