RINO Ron Kresha (10A) is the poster-child in Minnesota for corrupt career politician RINOs and the residents of his district have become fed up. Kresha has failed to earn the local party’s endorsement in the last two election cycles (2022 & 2024) and was nearly defeated in the 2024 GOP primary by grassroots conservative candidate Diane Webb-Skillings in what was the closest State Representative primary in the state. He now faces a scathing letter of condemnation from the Morrison County GOP for his big government, liberal voting record.

Kresha has been in office for over a decade (13 years) and has repeatedly sold out his conservative constituents in order to ingratiate himself into the Swamp. He is a loyal and consistent vote for big government, big spending, unconstitutional, multi-subject, Uniparty omnibus bills. It is no surprise that he wins endorsements from radical left union bosses but not with his own Republican constituents. While many other RINOs within the legislature would fit that same description, Kresha has become a case of his own in how far-left a “Republican” can get away with.

The Morrison County GOP released the following letter of condemnation against Rep. Ron Kresha on May 27th that received unanimous support at the Morrison County GOP’s May meeting. See full letter below:

As seen above, Kresha has worked against the interests of conservatives throughout his corrupt career in unimaginable ways. In opposition to President Trump’s America First agenda, Kresha introduced a bill in 2021 (HF2409) would give $5M to lawyers to keep illegal aliens in our state, voted for SF3045 this year which gives the LGBTQIA2S+ Council and ANTIFA Keith Ellison’s office budget increases, voted this year for HF2435 which pays for taxpayer funded abortions, and voted this year for HF2433 which funds DEI in schools and other leftist projects.

Despite not winning the party’s endorsement against Webb-Skillings, Kresha (and other unendorsed RINOs) received massive funding from the corrupt MN House Republican Campaign Committee (HRCC) chaired by RINO Josh Heintzeman (6B). Kresha's "win" against Webb-Skillings can also be attributed to a mailer from his campaign that falsely claimed Kresha was GOP endorsed which was mailed to thousands of constituents. Despite the GOP legislative caucuses serving as party units, they have worked against the interests of the party endorsement by instead acting as an incumbency protection racket. RINO leadership in the House like Speaker Lisa Demuth backstabbing local GOP activists highlights how different the Swamp is from citizen Patriots like you.

Morrison County GOP may serve as an exemplar in the battle between the grassroots and the Establishment RINOs and their strategy could be copied across the state. RINO politicians must be held accountable as they cave to radical Democrats instead of pushing the conservative agenda through. The House GOP has been an abysmal failure in leveraging the Speakership and shared-majority, the only way to make them change is by putting their feet to the fire ahead of the special session.

Congratulations to Morrison County GOP for EXPOSING the TRUTH about the ultra-liberal voting record of RINO Ron Kresha!
