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:

School Board: Hopkins (@Hopkins270)
When: Jan 20th 2026
Who: @mnmsba Director of Leadership Development
and Executive Search, Barb Dorn

🚨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

— Mark Gilson 🌱 (@markwgilson) February 4, 2026

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.

On Tuesday Feb. 3rd, the Campaign Finance Board (CFB) released the 2025 Year-End donation and spending reports for political party units, candidates, and committees. As Minnesotans prepare to go to their local precinct caucus, there is plenty to draw from these CFB reports, most notably in the Governor race.

Shaky, Angry Amy Klobuchar did not have to file a year-end report because she did not launch her campaign until 2026 so it is not known how much money she has already raised. What is known is that Tampon Tim raked in nearly $6M throughout 2025 and has nearly $3.9M cash-on-hand. Walz can transfer ALL of that money to Amy Klobuchar’s campaign and he may choose to do so considering that she is his hand-selected, backroom choice to replace him. In addition, Amy Klobuchar's three active FEC accounts has over $2M cash-on-hand as of Dec. 31st, 2025.

The GOP has the deck stacked against them monetarily and it is no different when comparing the state parties’ finances. As seen in CFB filings, the Democrats’ MN DFL State Central Committee raised over $5M and has over $2M cash-on-hand. Meanwhile, the MNGOP’s committee raised around $750K with only $45.5K cash-on-hand.

As seen above, five GOP Governor candidates have far surpassed the others in donations and that includes Lisa Demuth, Scott Jensen, Mike Lindell, Kendall Qualls, and Kristin Robbins. The natural next question is: Where did they get this money and how much of it is from the grassroots vs. the RINOs/lobbyists/special interests?

The Campaign Finance Board requires candidates to publicly report a donor’s name, address, and occupation for any donation over $200. Small-dollar donations beneath that amount do not require the same reporting requirements but it is noted on CFB reports how much was raised in smaller donations. This shows major differentiation of candidates and shows how much (or how little) grassroots conservatives are supporting their candidacy.

It is not necessarily a bad thing to have large donors, there are many well-meaning voters who can contribute big bucks toward politicians. The issue is when a candidate is almost entirely reliant on those big donors and has little to no support from the grassroots.

Upon review of Empty Suit Lisa Demuth’s CFB report, it is shown that she has received MORE money from lobbyists and PACs ($32,945) than she has received in small-dollar grassroots donations ($24,560)! Almost all of her campaign money is from big donors and she lacks connections to the America First base of the MNGOP. As mentioned previously, the non-itemized total shows how much was raised from small-dollar donations. See below:

Demuth is the sitting Speaker of the MN House and is taking big money donations including from PACs that we are supposed to believe will not impact the 2026 legislative session. Lobbyists, PACs, and big money donors. As Speaker, she has an atrocious voting record (20.83% score in the 2025 A4L Scorecard) that included passing the 2nd LARGEST budget in MN history after cutting a backroom deal with Tim Walz, proving that she has always served the Establishment’s interests.

Demuth has also signed onto the Socialist Political Contribution Refund (PCR) program where she will receive your tax dollars for campaign purposes. In doing the PCR program, Demuth has limited the amount of money she can spend. This means her campaign can only spend $4.23M IN TOTAL for the primary and general elections. It will likely take more than $4.2M to defeat the Democrats, Walz has a war-chest with almost that same amount right now and he can give it to Klobuchar at any time! Demuth has tied her own hands and limited herself from being able to win the general election. Scott Jensen has also limited his spending to the same amount as Demuth while Lindell, Qualls, and Robbins have unlimited spending abilities. 

Kristin Robbins can likely thank a lot of donations, including out-of-state donations, coming from NeoCon Nikki Haley's emails and text blasts supporting her campaign. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Robbins was the MN Chair for RINO Nikki Haley's 2024 Presidential campaign and Haley calls Robbins her "secret weapon". On the other hand, RINO Kendall Qualls can probably thank his deceptive advertisement for some of the donations he received.

Mike Lindell had the shortest runway to collect funds by launching his campaign only 20 days ahead of the filing. As the most recent to announce his candidacy of the top five fundraising candidates, collecting over $350K is a massive feat. As seen in Lindell’s CFB report, he has raised ZERO from lobbyists and PACs! See below:

Additionally, the majority of fundraising Lindell has received has been from small-dollar donors. See below:

One area of concern some delegates have raised about Lindell's CFB report  is his campaign purchasing his copies of his book: What Are the Odds? From Crack Addict to CEO. This has already been an attack line used against the campaign by the leftist Minnesota Reformer. Lindell's campaign spent around $187K on books to give away for free to delegates and GOP event attendees. Lindell's campaign tells A4L that CFB rules prohibit the campaign from buying the book at cost/with no profit but they have applied discount codes to lower the cost on their end. The campaign also says that the money they collect from out of state donors will exclusively fund their book buys.

More details can be extrapolated from the CFB reports and A4L will continue to provide ground-breaking, anti-establishment, and liberty-based reporting with information that Minnesotans cannot find anywhere else. The MN Governor race is set to be a highly competitive contest and A4L will continue providing Patriots with the latest. A4L will continue fighting for our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

While arguing that Trump must lose to “protect our democracy” in 2024, the Democrats undemocratically installed Kamala and Walz as their President/VP nominees despite them not winning a single primary. Joe Biden endorsed Kamala and the DNC officially installed her as the nominee. There was not a care in the world for Democrat primary voters to be truly represented, especially considering how rigged their primary was. In Minnesota, we now see a similar story unfolding with Walz anointing Klobuchar the nominee behind the scenes before she even announced she was running.

Tim Walz is the Joe Biden of Minnesota: He’s a corrupt, Establishment, incompetent politician whose party realized that he hurts the Democrats’ chances of winning. It was not Walz' corruption or incompetence that took Walz out of the race, it was Democrats realizing that Walz was a major electoral liability.

After Walz dropped out, one would think that a competitive primary would be underway including lots of top-level Democrats. Instead, Walz and the Democrat Party Establishment are anointing Amy Klobuchar with the nomination. It appears that Walz believes Amy is ENTITLED to be Governor and that he is ENTITLED to select her. Like is often the case with politicians, Walz, Klobuchar, and Establishment MN Democrats are egomaniacs who do not respect voters and think they and they alone should decide who holds power.

It was reported by The Star Tribune that on January 4th, Tim Walz met with Amy Klobuchar privately at the Governor Mansion to discuss her running for Governor. Walz dropped out the VERY NEXT DAY!

Did Democrats learn NOTHING from the 2024 election? Elitists hand-picking nominees behind the scenes was detrimental for the Democratic ticket but Walz is repeating history! Walz is selecting an Establishment, crony prosecutor UNILATERALLY behind closed doors just like Joe Biden did by hand-selecting Kamala!

Amy Klobuchar cannot sell a message of change in 2026, she is the continuation of Tampon Tim! Klobuchar will never hold Walz accountable for anything, she is just another corrupt politician who happens to have higher favorability ratings in polls. She has failed to stand up to the far-left base in her party and has become more unpopular in Minnesota in each election she runs.

Democratic voters have been trained to be submissive and to vote blue no matter who but their Socialist base has been gaining more and more control in the party. In the eyes of leftists: Klobuchar is controlled by AIPAC / has funded genocide of Palestinians / is friendly with Bibi Netanyahu, kowtows to special interests & lobbyists, failed to prosecute Derek Chauvin / prosecuted people with unsubstantiated claims as Hennepin Co. Attorney, voted to confirm ten members of Trump's first term Cabinet (including Neocon Nikki Haley and Mitch McConnell's wife), and has been a pawn of the Establishment Democrats all along the way.

Shaky Amy is on shaky ground and she does not handle pressure well. See example below:

Why is Amy Klobuchar violently shaking?#DemDebate pic.twitter.com/1QpUZ6xLI4

It is well reported that Klobuchar has a bad temper and explodes on staff in fits of rage and fury. Many staffers even turned on Klobuchar during her 2020 Presidential run to expose just how mean and nasty she is. Staff says that Klobuchar is “not just demanding but dehumanizing” and considered her an emotionally abusive boss. Klobuchar even threw office supplies at employees and contemptuously ate a salad with a hair comb after berating a staffer. Klobuchar has one of the highest staff turnovers in the Senate for a reason! When people think of “Minnesota Nice”, Klobuchar does not fit the bill! Shaky Amy is Minnesota's Katie Porter!

Three other Democrats have filed to run for Governor, though they are not formidable challengers. This includes perennial candidate Christopher Seymore, transgender activist Kobey Layne, and self-described centrist William “Bill” Gates (no relation to Globalist Bill Gates) who previously ran for Arkansas Governor as an independent but did not make it on the ballot.

Action 4 Liberty will continue providing Patriots with liberty-based reporting that cannot be found anywhere else. Minnesota’s Governor race will be a heated contest watched nationwide. Democrats think they have sealed the deal by swapping out Walz for Klobuchar but they may be in for a rude awakening. A4L will continue being the megaphone of the grassroots and will never waiver in our mission to protect liberty for the next generation.

Here we go again. Career politician and serial candidate Kendall Qualls — who’s been running for something, anything, for nearly a decade — just got caught misleading Republican delegates and grassroots conservatives. And after being exposed, he doubled down with another dishonest move.

Qualls, who pulls in over $300,000 a year through his NGO with his wife, ran Facebook ads claiming he was “the only candidate who pledged to respect the GOP endorsement process.”

That’s a flat-out lie.

As Liberty & Prosperity Blog first reported on January 26, several other candidates — including Jeff Johnson — publicly pledged to abide by the GOP endorsement. So Qualls wasn’t “the only one.” He was the only one lying about it.

The Non-Apology “Apology”

A few days later, on January 29, Qualls posted what can only be described as a politician-style non-apology on Facebook. He said he wanted to “address the claim,” as if someone else made it up. Let’s be clear: Qualls made the false claim himself.

No apology. No accountability. Just the same old polished D.C. politician routine about “integrity” and “making it right.” Except — he didn’t.

Caught Again — Same Lie, Same Ad

Senator Michael Holmstrom called out Qualls directly, saying he had “specifically misled delegates to buy a hand up.” Holmstrom even showed proof that Qualls kept running the same false ad after his so-called “correction.”

That’s Strike Two — caught lying to the grassroots twice in the same week.

None of this should surprise anyone who’s been paying attention. 

Qualls misled the grassroots in 2022 when he said he would sign the Never Again pledge and then reneged on that promise.

Qualls claims to be an outsider, but his campaign is run by establishment insiders. 

Qualls’ latest campaign — his third in seven years — is once again being run by D.C. consultants and establishment operatives.

• In 2020, Qualls ran for a Congressional seat that was held by Republicans the previous cycle. He lost — badly — by 11%, one of the worst showings for Republicans in that district’s history.
• In 2022, he ran for governor and failed to win the GOP endorsement.
• Then in 2024, he undermined the endorsement process by backing establishment pick Joe Fraser (He/Him) after Fraser lost to grassroots conservative Royce White for U.S. Senate.

This is a pattern — Qualls says one thing to the base and does another behind closed doors.

Qualls pretends to be an outsider. But the only reason he’s outside the system is because the grassroots keeps rejecting him. He surrounds himself with the same consultant class that’s been losing Minnesota elections for decades and cashes in while doing it.

He’s been running for something nonstop for seven years, and every time, it’s the same story: misleading ads, establishment spin, and betrayal of the conservative base.

Bottom Line: The grassroots can’t trust Kendall Qualls.

He’s a D.C.-approved, consultant-crafted DEI candidate who will say anything to get elected — and do anything to stay relevant.

Minnesota conservatives deserve better than another establishment-backed loser trying to fool the grassroots.
