Minnesota’s caucus and endorsement process is the best way for grassroots citizens to get involved politically. Anybody can participate, vet candidates, and vote for who they would like to represent them in office. The caucus and endorsement process forces candidates to address the issues that matter most to the grassroots and it is for that reason that RINOs want to kill it off.

While most politicians wait until they get into office to backstab the grassroots, one unendorsed RINO State House candidate is already pledging to abolish Minnesota’s endorsement process. Candidate Brady Rouhoff is spitting in the face of Republicans in house district 20B with his open plan to eliminate the caucus and endorsement process. Even worse, undermining the grassroots endorsement is one of the first things Rouhoff is looking to do in office.

Rouhoff is primarying the endorsed Republican, Sara Bertschinger, a nurse who is running to end taxpayer funded abortions, promote fiscal responsibility, prevent fraud, secure our elections, and expand personal freedoms. Bertschinger is a supporter of the caucus and endorsement process stating that “the grassroots endorsement is vital to the election process”.

Brady Rouhoff did not compete for the endorsement and thinks that primaries alone should decide party nominees. In a recent video posted on social media where Rouhoff turned the comments off, he argued that primaries are how “Democracy works”. Rouhoff’s flawed, leftist logic would lead to voters being less informed and have less ability to get involved politically. Rouhoff also pointed to issues at the MNGOP State Convention as a reason to eliminate the caucus process despite the clicker problems being entirely party chair Alex Plechash’s fault. Crybaby Establishment RINOs who are upset that Lisa Demuth lost the Governor endorsement to Kendall Qualls were going to make any excuse they could to allow Demuth to continue her political ladder-climbing.

It must be remembered that Minnesota is not a caucus/endorsement-only state. MN holds a primary that follows endorsements so that party voters can correct perceived mistakes. Rouhoff is entitled to run in the primary but should not try to strip voting rights away from delegates. As mentioned, anyone can get involved in the endorsement process by simply attending the caucus and the following local convention. This process does not undermine the grassroots, it elevates them.

Crooked politicians do not want to be held accountable and know that they are out of touch with their base. The Establishment would prefer that campaigns be voted in based on yard signs, name ID, and mailers instead of a careful vetting and voting process.

The more often that a politician has to work to EARN a vote, the more accountable they are to the people. Unendorsed RINOs like Brady Rouhoff want to diminish your voice because he fears grassroots conservatives.
