Our state is being destroyed by radical left Democrats and weak RINOs are allowing it to happen. Despite the GOP holding an equal number of Representative seats in the state House as the Dems, the GOP has full control over zero major policy or appropriation omnibus bills and the Dems has full control over 8 of the 21 bills!

A full list of the state Senate versions of the 21 omnibus bills can be found here. Budget bills will cover 2026-2027 spending.

While it would be expected that Democrats get control of state Senate authorship for the omnibus spending/policy bills since they hold a majority in that body, it is strange that they additionally have that power in the state House for over a third of the omnibus bills when the House majority is shared by Republicans!

Republican Reps in the House are co-equal to the Democrats but are treated like they are powerless! GOP legislators in a shared majority should have equal access to legislation control (especially with an elected Speaker from your party). Below you will see the eight omnibus bills with no GOP co-author:

HF2440/SF1832: Jobs & Economic Development Policy

HF2443/SF2216: Commerce Policy

HF2433/SF2255: K-12 Education Appropriations

HF1615/SF2370: Cannabis Policy

HF2441/SF2373: Labor Policy and Appropriations

HF2442/SF2393: Energy, Util., Environ., Climate Policy and Appropriations

HF2431/SF2483: Higher Education Policy and Appropriations

HF2435/SF2669: Health & Human Services Policy and Appropriations

HF2595/SF3096: Election Judge Policy

Unfortunately, having a Republican on a policy or appropriations omnibus bill does necessarily not fix the issue either! A bad bill is a bad bill regardless of potential Republican authorship. As we’ve previously reported, RINO Jim Nash (48A) is a co-author for the State and Local Govt. Finance & Policy omnibus bill that increases ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s budget and adds spending for electric vehicle charging stations which will eat into our state’s energy grid and cause blackouts. Future reporting will discuss the other omnibus bills in greater detail.

Simply being an author on these bills is not enough. Republicans need to grow a spine and use their shared House majority as leverage. They must gut all wasteful spending, corruption, or woke policies from these bills and shrink the budgets to their most essential services. The MNGOP platform calls for the elimination of omnibus spending bills and Republicans must lead on that issue. Legislation cannot pass without Republican support yet they are allowing Democrats to have total control of over a third of the omnibus legislation on the docket.

Of the 21 omnibus bills, only ONE has more GOP authors than Democrats. HF2027/SF2511 is the omnibus Liquor Policy bill which has two GOP House authors [Tim O’Driscoll (13B) & Perryman (16A)] and one Democrat Senator [Matt Klein (SD53)]. This bill is extremely noncontroversial and proves how weak the RINOs are! The only bill where they have any real power is for a liquor bill tweaking policy and where people can drink alcohol! 

GOP House Reps must assert themselves and refuse the Democrat omnibus budget/policy plans. Instead the GOP should push conservative balanced budgets and policy bills that repeals anti-liberty laws. A4L has continually demanded GOP legislators push for pre-covid spending levels. 

Weak RINOs who refuse to be hardline negotiators are selling out Patriots and our freedom, which makes them just as bad as Democrats. A phony friend is no friend at all. A4L will continue to expose the uniparty corruption in Minnesota and lead the fight for grassroots conservatives!

Action 4 Liberty held a great Day of Action in house district 41A to inform Rep. Wayne Johnson’s constituents that he voted against our Never Again Bill.

The Never Again Bill blocks Walz or any future Governor from imposing unconstitutional lockdowns on our citizens ever again. Covid era tyranny destroyed businesses, churches, and children’s education under the guise of safety. In reality, power hungry politician tyrants like Tim Walz jumped in to impose their will. This legislation would require supermajority approval from the legislature and would imprison any Governor who attempts to unconstitutionally lock our state down.

RINO Wayne Johnson opposes the Never Again Bill and voted against it on the House floor. As our signature piece of legislation, A4L was not going to keep his voters in the dark! Former A4L President Jake Duesenberg explains the entire vote in the video below (click image):

We organized a Day of Action in his district and brought out young conservatives who love liberty to hit the doors! We connected with great Patriots and provided the information that RINOs don’t want you to know! See some pictures of us out knocking below:

Conservatives in Wayne Johnson’s district and across our state support the Never Again Bill and are livid that RINOs like Wayne Johnson opposed it. RINO House leadership told members to oppose the bill even though the same leaders are signed onto the bill themselves! 

There is a reason we are called Action 4 Liberty. We identify, engage, and mobilize grassroots conservatives to take real political action for the cause of liberty. Our God-given Rights are too precious to give up and we will never sacrifice them in pursuit of political relationships, power, or other goals. Our mission is to protect liberty for the next generation; Democrats always interfere with that mission but RINOs like Wayne Johnson are often just as guilty!

Thank you to all who participated in or helped with our Day of Action in district 41A! It was a massive success that can be replicated throughout the state. RINO politicians are pulling a scam on their voters and A4L will continue to expose what is really going on!

Some wonder if Wayne Johnson really is a Republican in Name Only because he certainly isn’t a conservative! It may come as no surprise that Johnson planned to run as an Independent candidate for state house after local delegates rejected him for the party endorsement. This would have most definitely split right-leaning voters and would have given the House majority to the Democrats. See below:

In fact, Wayne doesn't just flippantly change his party affiliation on social media, he also proves himself to be a mask-lover and cozies up with RINO Tony Jurgens (who endorsed Democrat Judy Seeberger and cost the GOP the Senate) big government Democrats like Tina Smith, Amy Klobuchar, Karla Bigham, and Angie Craig! Think about it, this is just some of the kind of stuff he posts in public, imagine how liberal he really is in private! See below:

Minnesota is under the control of radical leftists and the RINOs who enable them. While the GOP Establishment would want you to believe that simply electing Republicans will solve all issues, time after time we see RINO politicians backstab the conservative base.

In this case, RINO Jim Nash (48A) is working with Democrats to increase ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s Attorney General office budget! This comes as Ellison wastes tax dollars on frivolous lawsuits for men in women's sports and anti-2nd Amendment cases (where the U.S. Supreme Court just refused to hear Ellison's appeal).

Omnibus spending bills will be the large focus as the state legislature wraps up for the year. The list of spending/policy omnibus bills can be found here. Minnesota passes two year budget bills in odd numbered years. The State Govt. Policy and Finance omnibus spending bill is where funding for the Attorney General’s office is located.

HF2783 is this year’s State Govt. funding bill and it is co-authored by RINO Jim Nash and radical leftist Democrat Ginny Klevorn. This bill increases funding for Ellison’s office to $46,919,000 for 2026 and $47,398,000 for 2027!

In 2023, the State Govt. spending bill only had Democrat authors and passed along party lines. In the 2023 bill (HF1830), the 2025 budget for Keith Ellison is $43,825,000. This means an over $3M increase for next year and over $3.5M increase for the year after compared to what Ellison got for 2025!

The “party of limited government” is going to give even more money to ANTIFA Keith Ellison rather than fighting against Ellison! In total, this bill costs $1.35B which is a $45M increase over February’s forecast base. Nash clearly lacks negotiation skills, or worse, that he is truly in line with the Democrats.

On April 10th, this bill was passed UNANIMOUSLY out of the House Govt. Finance and Policy Committee [GOP Reps: Nash (48A), Davis (6A), Anderson (12A), Joy (4B), Koznick (57A), Quam (24A), and Sexton (19B)] and be referred to the House Ways and Means Committee (membership found here). In a bad sign for transparency, the House has not published the Govt. Finance and Policy Committee’s minutes and the bill webpage still lists that it sits in that committee rather than Ways and Means. As of this article’s publishing date, the Ways and Means Committee has not taken this bill up yet and it is not even in their public listing docket.

The Senate version of this bill (SF3045) authored only by Democrat Tou Xiong (SD44) and the funding numbers for the AG office is the same in each version. 

This bill is in violation of the MNGOP Platform where it states its support for "Ending the use of omnibus spending bills" (page 2). To make matters worse, this spending bill costs more than the 2025 State Govt. funding budget pushed by Socialist Tim Walz!

Jim Nash, Lisa Demuth, and any other RINO planning on voting for this garbage are phonies who can never be called conservatives. In 2023, Nash and Demuth criticized the 2023 Democrat State Govt. bill. Nash quoted Oscar Wilde and said “The bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy”. But now, Jim Nash is leading the charge on behalf of the expanding bureaucracy!

RINOs use performative measures to pretend to be conservatives but at the end of the day, they are the exact same as Democrats. The WWE style of politics has become known to the grassroots. The curtain has been pulled and Patriots can see the uniparty in action.

In addition, this budget bill adds new spending for government built electric vehicle stations. These will eat into the state’s energy grid and cause blackouts. This will enable Walz’ tyrannical 2040 carbon mandate and the Green New Deal climate hoax. See portion of bill below:

While this bill also adds new language that allows government officials to report fraud stop payments to groups if fraud is found, fraudsters already do not follow the law and corrupt government officials will continue to look the other way. Accountability and cutting massive government spending is the only way to eliminate fraud. The hand-off of a massive liberal budget for a few noncontroversial fraud laws shows how weak of negotiators RINOs are. Nash has clearly not read 'The Art of the Deal'.

Republicans should pivot and opt for pre-covid spending levels as A4L has continually suggested. Instead, spineless GOP legislators are working to push a budget plan that expands the evil big government, totals slightly over $66.6B, would be the second largest budget in MN history, and would eat into your surplus dollars. As we’ve previously reported, the proposed GOP budget spends more tax dollars than the government is anticipating to take in which means it is NOT a balanced budget and will eat into the deserved surplus money for taxpayers, no matter how much unhinged Walter Hudson defends it.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to expose the corrupt uniparty of Minnesota that seeks to expand government, spend more of your money, and strip us of our God-given liberties. A4L will always stand as a blockade for the Grassroots against the Establishment. While RINOs push spending bills that benefit radical leftists like Keith Ellison, we will be here to set the record straight.

Tyrant Tim Walz is set to give the commencement speech for the University of Minnesota Law School graduating students. 

Woke public universities like the U of M that openly attach themselves to big government, anti-freedom crooks like Tim Walz and Dr. Fauci should lose ALL taxpayer funding from the federal and state governments.

The U of M is likely hoping that honorary, BS speech time for Walz to grandstand earns them preferential treatment, especially with MN’s ongoing budget fight.

The U of M made this announcement and included a biography of Walz directly from the Governor website. That biography labels himself as “Command Sergeant Major Walz retired..” despite the fact that Walz retired as a Master Sergeant because he did not maintain the Command Sergeant Major status. The biography would lead you to believe otherwise through omission. 

Walz retired early to start a political career while his battalion was about to be deployed to Iraq in 2005. As seen in ABC News, a post on the Walz' CD1 Congress campaign website he stated “As Command Sergeant Major I have a responsibility not only to be ready for my battalion for Iraq, but also to serve if called on.” and also stated he intended to remain in the CD1 congressional race even if he were deployed to Iraq. Former A4L President and Army veteran Jake Duesenberg previously interviewed Thomas Beherends, who took Tim Walz’ place after Walz refused to serve. Click here or below:

While Walz was deployed overseas in 2003 in support of the Afghanistan War, he was in Italy, an ally of the U.S. for base security. Tim Walz has never stepped foot on a battlefield in war as a soldier and is not a combat veteran (despite claiming to have carried weapons in war). Things like those mentioned are why then candidate, now Vice President J.D. Vance labeled Tim Walz with stolen valor and why veterans ruthlessly booed and heckled Walz recently at the Capitol. Walz is a fraud and a liar.

Walz has additionally been the worst Governor in the history of our state for freedom by abusing the Constitution. There is a gross irony if the fact that the U of M LAW school will receive their degrees after hearing from the worst abuser of the Constitution in the history of our state. Walz’ record of unconstitutionally locking down our state, closing businesses & churches, allowing Minneapolis to be burned, holding nobody accountable for the riots, raising taxes, increasing the size of government, and having deep ties to Communist China like was recently exposed for his connection to CCP operatives. Lawyers should be protecting the Constitution and rule of law, not seeing a Tyrant as an example of good governance!

The lies continue to pile up for Tyrant Tim Walz and nobody confronts him with more viciousness than Action 4 Liberty! Our nationally and internationally covered state fair booth is FAR MORE popular than the RINO MNGOP’s booth year after year and we swing directly at Walz! See our most recent booth below:

Action 4 Liberty calls out tyrants like Walz directly to their face like A4L President Erik Mortensen did while a masked-up beta male Tim Walz offered him a lemon bar on the House floor! Click here or below:

Or when MAGA Jesse took a picture with Tyrant Timmy while wearing a “Dump Walz” t-shirt on the 4th of July! See below:

When RINOs say “A4L only attacks Republicans” you know that they are lying! A4L calls out all establishment, authoritarian, big government, anti-freedom, anti-grassroots elements of our government and we will continue to do so! 

Action 4 Liberty is picking up steam and is growing while the RINOs attack, perhaps they will finally learn that the Grassroots will NEVER shut up and do as we are told!

Action 4 Liberty is picking up momentum and have growing support among the grassroots. To continue to grow on our success, A4L is proud to announce the hiring of new Field Specialist Hannah Determan!

Hannah is an experienced grassroots organizer that loves fighting for liberty. She has a strong professional background in connecting with activists and mobilizing them to take action! She previously did great work with the Young Americans for Liberty (YAL).

YAL is an allied national organization that identifies, educates, trains, and mobilizes young liberty-minded activists to win. Hannah started as a college campus organizer and quickly grew her chapter to be hugely successful. 

She then turned out more people than any other campus recruiter nationally for YAL’s annual convention (YALCON) which puts over 1,000 young liberty lovers in a room to train politically and hear from great speakers like Senator Rand Paul, former U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, and UK leader Nigel Farage. A4L President Erik Mortensen even kicked off the 2021 and 2022 YALCONs.

Hannah has also done great work with the State Freedom Caucus Network. This is where the DC Freedom Caucus - who are the most conservative members - have exported their model to the states. In addition, she also leads in other key efforts.

While the RINOs declare war with A4L, we get stronger. Patriots see through smear attempts and A4L will continue to be the bulldog against big government in our state. The Establishment is threatened by us because we fight for the little guy, the Grassroots. Our addition of Hannah to the team will help us as we continue the battle to protect liberty for the next generation!

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.

CFB filings show the following amount of money for each candidate, click name to see report:

Keri Heintzeman - $51,408.80

Josh Gazelka - $11,798.60

Jennifer Carnahan - $11,525.00

Steve Cotariu - $17,557.05 (largely financed from $15K loan from candidate)

Angel Zierden - $3,975.00

John Howe - $2,400.00

Doug Kern - No CFB report available

Matt Zinda - No CFB report available

Action 4 Liberty has also reported on a recent debate in this district where candidate Doug Kern praised our Never Again Pledge. See below:

As RINOs of the MNGOP have employed leftist cancel culture tactics against grassroots conservative supporters of A4L (seen recently in the Star Tribune), the grassroots keeps defeating the establishment’s chosen puppets. 

The Establishment can feel their grip of the party slipping as grassroots conservatives have won party leadership races and this was seen again in Saturday’s Congressional District 2 MNGOP convention.

CD2 elected a slate of pro-grassroots, pro-freedom candidates for the following offices: Chair, Deputy Chair, Secretary, and Delegate at Large.

Joe Ditto was re-elected as Chair, Natalie Barnes was elected for Deputy Chair, Sara Dutton was re-elected for Secretary, and William Beck was elected Delegate at Large.

In addition to the major leadership victories for the grassroots, a resolution was passed by the delegates to condemn David Hann for secretly paying Kamala supporter Michael Brodkorb tens of thousands of dollars with party funds! Finally the party is condemning the RINO who destroyed the MNGOP instead of the group exposing their corruption! See below:

CD2’s bottom-up leadership selection is an indictment on the bogus attempts to smear A4L. CD2 knows first-hand how corrupt Globalist RINO Tom Emmer and the Establishment is. As A4L reported last year, Emmer installed his puppet candidate, Joe Teirab, as the GOP candidate by essentially paying off the endorsed GOP candidate, Tayler Rahm, to drop out of the race! 

Action 4 Liberty is proud to stand with the grassroots and will continue to block the Establishment RINOs from trying to block our supporters from involvement in the party. The grassroots victories in CD2, CD4, and CD7 should make it crystal clear to MNGOP leaders; Liberty conservatives aren’t going anywhere and desperate attempts to smear A4L or purge our supporters from the party will fail spectacularly. The smears make it clear to normal people that we are fighting the establishment and in turn, A4L is stronger and has more support than ever. 

The ball is in the MNGOP leadership’s court. Do they want to fight with the most passionate conservatives in our state or do they want to fight against them? Action 4 Liberty will continue leading the charge for principled, pro-freedom, Constitutionalist conservatives.

On Wednesday April 9th, U.S. Military veterans attended a rally at the Minnesota Capitol and let their opinions be known when Tyrant Tim Walz went up to give a speech. As Walz took the stage, boos filled the Capitol rotunda. Video of it can be seen here.

One person can be heard saying “In 2020 you shut down the First Amendment! You shut down churches! You’re a coward!” 

It can also be heard in the crowd “You sympathize with the Chinese!” which means the knowledge of Walz’ deep connection to Communist China is growing. 

Action 4 Liberty recently reported on Walz’ deep connection to China, longing for a shadow government, and his ties to CCP operatives. A4L has also been the first to report on Walz’ love of the globalist World Economic Forum and its authoritarian leader, Klaus Schwabb.

Many veterans have serious disdain for Walz after he was caught time after time exaggerating and lying about his own military record. This included veterans claiming Walz committed stolen valor by purposefully misstating his military rank and for his early retirement/refusal to serve when called. Former A4L President Jake Duesenberg has interviewed Command Sgt. Major Thomas Behrends, who had to deploy due to Walz’ refusal. The full interview can be seen here.

Walz and Kamala lost ground for Democrats across this country and in Minnesota. The team of a cackling know-nothing puppet and a habitual liar Communist running mate was not what America was looking for in the White House! The lies of Tim Walz continue to pile up and veterans were not about to sit back and politely listen to the load of crap that was coming their way from the podium. Walz gaslit the crowd about fully funding veterans, when it is clear as day that there are veterans in our state suffering.

With Walz desperately trying to stay relevant for a 2028 Presidential campaign, the best way to rip that dream away from him would be to strip him of his precious Governorship in 2026! Weirdo Walz can’t gaslight veterans and many Minnesotans may be too fed up to put up with a third term of Tampon Tim. However, it will take a strong candidate who can unify conservatives to do so. Former failed MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann was previously talking about a Governor run but has been awfully quiet since A4L exposed that Hann was paying tens of thousands of dollars to Kamala supporter Michael Brodkorb! It even appears that Hann’s last interview about a supposed Governor run was with none other than Michael Brodkorb and former Emmer staffer Becky Scherr! 

Action 4 Liberty will continue exposing the truth and calling out big government swamp creatures regardless of their political party. Veterans and Minnesotans at large are done with showing deference to radical Democrats, the RINO method hasn’t worked. A4L will continue to champion and raise up the voices of grassroots conservative Patriots!

Following the arrest and federal charges brought against incumbent Senator Justin Eichorn for attempted prostitution of a minor, the seat was vacated and a special election was filed. On Tuesday, a hotly contested debate was held by the Brainerd Lakes Chamber of Commerce & League of Women Voters among the GOP competitors.

Senate District 6 spans across Cass, Crow Wing, and Itasca Counties. Action 4 Liberty has previously reported on the race and the candidates. The primary date is Tuesday, April 15th. The full debate can be viewed here.

During last night’s debate, seven GOP candidates participated while former failed MNGOP Chair Jennifer Carnahan claimed she was sick and could not attend. Instead of speaking with voters directly, Carnahan will instead be known for her attempt to purge A4L grassroots supporters out of the MNGOP, her recorded phone call laughing about her then husband’s eventual death, her connection to convicted child sex trafficker Anton Lazzaro, and refusing to sign the Never Again Pledge.

Of the seven candidates in attendance, only ONE candidate has signed A4L’s Never Again Pledge to prove that he will support the strongest piece of legislation to prevent Walz or any future Governor from ever locking down our state again with abusive Emergency Powers. All other candidates have refused to stand with the conservative grassroots that A4L became the voice for during Covid tyranny. Kern has even made a video explaining why he signed it and why he cares so deeply about this battle. See Kern’s pledge and participation in A4L protests against lockdowns below:

EVERY SINGLE other candidate has flatly refused to sign the pledge and prove to voters that they will fight for freedom! One candidate, veterinarian John Howe, used his wife to convey the message to A4L that he does not have time to read the bill. However, during the debate, Howe brought up two other pieces of legislation that he supports… It sounds like he has time to read other bills, but not a bill on the most critical fight against big government in our lifetime!? While Howe gave good answers on mining and shrinking government, refusing to sign the Never Again Pledge is not a good sign that he would be a fighter.

Doug Kern bragged up the Never Again Bill during the debate and said he will work with anybody to do good. Doug said “People always said, well it’s Action 4 Liberty. No, its Action 4 You” and that he’d talk with people across the aisle to get it passed. Immediately following Doug’s strong answer, candidate Angel Zierden sneered and instead suggested building trust with Democrats and pushing bipartisan bills. Does she not realize Democrats are destroying our state and weak RINOs helping them are the problem?!

Zierden is a potential secret Democrat who endorsed radical leftist Jen Schultz for Congress (CD8) against Pete Stauber. However, that did not stop her from name dropping Stauber in the debate as if she were a supporter, she clearly has zero credibility. Zierden’s debate answers would continually hark back to her institutional knowledge and support for “bipartisanship”, which shows she is weak to Democrat arguments before even getting elected.

Also participating in the debate was RINOs Keri Heintzeman and Josh Gazelka. Josh is the son of RINO Paul Gazelka. Josh spent most of his time trying to sound agreeable but was oddly passionate about lowering corporate taxes. In what was a potential Freudian slip, Gazelka said he was running to serve his “family” which may be true since his father has seemingly lined up an endorsement for him from the gun-control loving, drunk driving Democrat-endorsing,  MPPOA. On most issues Josh offered standard Republican thinking, however, at one point Josh said that Democrats are not evil!

Largely absent from Keri Heintzeman’s responses were acknowledgements that she is running for a seat while her husband, RINO Josh Heintzeman, is currently in the State House. While using President Trump as a shield and costume, Keri talked up many issues like school choice. Many wonder why she and her husband both want to play politics over a hundred miles away from their district. Keri has the support of unhinged Walter Hudson via a retweet and has her campaign managed by shady political operative and failed Deputy Chair candidate Kip Christianson.

The debate was interrupted by an attendee, Troy Scheffler, who yelled that Keri was a liar. Troy’s yelling and cursing continued and most of the arguing can be heard in the debate audio. Some viewers told A4L he exposed Keri Heintzeman on the mentioned court case and others say he was out of line and was perhaps drinking beforehand.

Other debate participants included Matt Zinda and Steve Cotariu. While Zinda brought up many good points including HRCC corruption, Josh Heintzeman doorknocking Erik Mortensen’s door for Mort’s opponent, and Heintzeman's revenge plot on a police chief, it was perhaps overshadowed by Scheffler’s interruption and Zinda’s racialized perspective. Sources tell A4L that Zinda is telling people not to vote for him and that he does not want to win. Zinda has also shared a post on social media calling President Trump a pedophile, clearly showing he is not in line with the Trump MAGA era of the GOP.

Steve Cotariu claimed to be a lifelong Republican, however, it appears he donated to Shaky Amy Klobuchar’s Presidential campaign and radical leftist Jen Schultz for Congress (CD8). If Cotariu deserves credit, it was for his public support for “zero base budgeting” which means government making budgets from the bottom up and not simply continuing spending levels. Cotariu also made good points around not electing career politicians, but he is going to need a little magic to win. Unfortunately, Cotariu has refused to sign our Never Again Pledge so he seemingly will not prevent future tyranny by government in the name of things like Covid. 

As the only signer of the Never Again Pledge, Doug Kern has made it clear that he will stand up to the Establishment and fight for liberty. The fact that there are Republicans who are afraid to stand up to radical authoritarian policies before they even get into office is a clear sign that they will cave even more once the pressure is on. Doug highlighted other issues including support for mining, deregulation, the Trump tariffs, being 100% pro-life, reducing spending (called for pre-covid spending levels), returning surplus money to the taxpayers, removing DEI from schools, and keeping boys out of girl sports. Kern also mentioned the recent pointless legislative battle about giving wildrice an inherent right to life with similar words and thinking said by Senator Nathan Wesenberg in committee.

Action 4 Liberty will continue to stand with Patriots and fight for limited government. A4L is building momentum thanks to grassroots conservatives and we will continue to be their megaphone!

Republican U.S. Senate candidate Royce White slammed MNGOP Chair Alex Plechash in a social media post for Plechash’s lack of neutrality in the U.S. Senate and Congressional District 7 contests. See below:

Royce was the party’s endorsed candidate and nominee for the U.S. Senate in 2024. Royce has previously called out former MNGOP Chair RINO David Hann.

MNGOP party officers are required by the party bylaws to remain neutral before a party endorsement is earned by a vote of the delegates. This can be seen in Article IV, Section 8 of the MNGOP Bylaws, see below:

Chair Alex Plechash has already failed in this department as he issued an endorsement on March 19th (on behalf of the party) for incumbent RINO Congresswoman Michelle Fischbach in the CD7 race in clear contradiction of the party bylaws. See below:

Royce White called out Plechash for the public, pre-primary endorsement seen above and also alleges that Plechash is calling Royce’s opponent, Adam Schwarze, the most qualified candidate. Royce also mentions how Schwarze worked for Nikki Haley’s campaign against President Trump. This can be found in a Nikki Haley campaign press release which states that Adam Schwarze was the MN CD5 Co-Chair for Haley.

MNGOP party officers, especially the Chair, should not be placing their thumbs on the scale pre-endorsement. Delegates deserve the opportunity to decide for themselves who they want to endorse without Establishment corruption. There is an incumbency protection racket and RINOs do not care who the local grassroots endorses.

We have reported many times on the corrupt tactics used by RINOs in nominating committees to try to block endorsement or party officer competition like was done to conservative Chris Corey in CD6 against Globalist RINO Tom Emmer, Bret Bussman in his run for MNGOP Chair, Jodi Welsh in her run for CD6 Chair, and A4L Board member Dale Zoerb in his recent run (and victory) for CD4 State Exec.

The endorsement process is a tool for the grassroots to make real change and require higher standards for the politicians that seek to earn their votes. When party officers like CD1 Chair Aaron Farris and CD6 Chair Bobby Benson are paid by the incumbent, who can trust them to run that endorsing convention fairly? Unfortunately those Congressional Districts do not include a provision blocking such corruption. However, this can be found in the MNGOP Constitution (Article 10, Section 4, Part B), see below:

Action 4 Liberty will continue to demand party officers conduct themselves fairly among candidates pre-endorsement and that politicians deliver and fight for liberty.
