With the MNGOP state convention quickly approaching, Governor candidate Peggy Bennnet released a video trashing the MNGOP and calling out Alex Plechash due to her exclusion from the state convention.

Peggy Bennett is a RINO State Representative who has failed to gain momentum in the Governor race, oftentimes receiving no votes during Congressional district and county GOP straw polls. In the legislature, Bennett has voted with the Establishment Swamp for all kinds of liberal omnibus bills. As seen in the 2025 A4L scorecard, Bennett has a lifetime score of 48.65% which means that on the most critical votes, Bennett is more likely to vote for bigger government than she is to vote for the pro-liberty position. As seen in previous A4L reporting, Bennett made it clear that she planned to twiddle her thumbs instead of fighting for Minnesota at the beginning of the 2025 legislative session.

Also during Bennett’s 12-year run in the legislature was her refusal to stand with her constituent, Lisa Hanson, as Hanson defied tyrannical covid lockdowns and opened her business. Bennett refused to support Hanson or her business as Walz and Ellison weaponized the judicial system against her. When Bennett’s constituents needed her most, she was nowhere to be found.

While Bennett was absent during battles for her constituents, she has chosen to attack the party since they are working against her interests.

As seen in the video, Bennett argues that she paid the mandatory $5K speaking fee but was told by the party that she will not be allowed to address the convention. She does not state if the party found her unqualified, if she did not collect the mandated 50 delegate signatures to be nominated, or whatever other reason the party may have used to block her.

Party leadership is supposed to be in the business of establishing fair procedures for all candidates of their party, not picking winners and losers. Party leadership is only supposed to back a candidate once that person is endorsed by their party’s delegation or once a primary election determines their general election nominee. Unfortunately, the pay-to-play scheme ($5K-$10K speaking fee) established by MNGOP chair Alex Plechash has made it clear that the party shows preference when dollars are on the line.

Bennett has been loyal to the Swamp for 12 years and is seeing that they are not returning the favor. This is a political lesson for all: The Establishment will use you for all you are useful for and then spit you out when you are no longer of use.

A4L is attacked by RINOs for calling out fraud, corruption, and big government regardless of the party or person implicated. Interestingly, when RINOs like Peggy Bennett is the one dividing the party, the usual suspects of A4L haters like RINO Mary Franson are silent. RINOs have a double-standard: They feel entitled to criticize the grassroots but does not want any pushback from the grassroots.
