With today’s news that fraud in our state was even worse than previously feared one truth is impossible to ignore: it’s hard to govern in the public interest when you owe favors to special interest groups.

Mike Newcome is refusing special interest money in his run for Governor.

When it comes to clean energy for Minnesota’s future, Mike Newcome supports expanding nuclear power. Why? Because it’s one of the most effective ways to generate carbon-free electricity around the clock.
Nuclear energy works 24/7 to keep our lights on and our air clean.

This is the heart of Mike Newcome's leadership.
He and his wife Marie opened their home to three incredible young people from Ukraine and their courage helped inspire Mike to run for Governor.
Two of them are back in Ukraine now and supporting Mike's run while dealing with the challenges of war.

Ethics lawyer Richard Painter is right: We need an independent auditor.

Jay Reeves for State Auditor.

This role is important as Minnesota has seen repeated instances of waste, mismanagement, and fraud. Jay has real solutions, and his union background, military service, and proven ability to work with complex data make him the ideal person to protect taxpayers.

Party Co-Chair Phil Fuehrer nailed it. Public service is about working together to get things done.

Politicians spend more time chasing donations than solving problems. And when you think money is the most important thing, you're more likely to compromise your morals - because big donors usually expect to have a say in how you vote.

We’ve reached a point where too many debates in politics are about winning, not solving problems.

"This is a mess... It's time to start putting a check next to some of those underfunded third party candidates."

We need more political courage, and Richard is right to point out the last person to show it.
Dean Phillips said what others were afraid to: Joe Biden wasn’t up to running again and if no one steps up to primary him, Trump will win. Phillips gave up his seat in Congress to offer an alternative.
