Press Releases from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

On Thursday, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial nominee Scott Jensen fully embraced the baseless conspiracy theory that Minnesota public schools are providing litter boxes for students who identify as “furries” to urinate in.

Yesterday, the Minnesota DFL Party held a press conference to expose Republican Attorney General candidate Jim Schultz’s dangerous anti-abortion agenda. That record includes Schultz’s serving on the board of directors for a non-profit seeking to “make abortion not just illegal, but unthinkable.”

DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement on tonight’s Secretary of State debate.

Late last week, Heartland Signal uncovered an interview that Kim Crockett gave where she accused Somali immigrants of selling their votes and using the money to fund Al-Shabaab, a terrorist organization in Somalia.

Yesterday, after Attorney General Keith Ellison announced an investigation of Merwin Liquors and Winner Gas for possibly “maintaining or permitting an unlawful public nuisance on their properties,” Republican candidate Jim Schultz lashed out at the decision on Twitter.

Yesterday evening, the Heartland Signal released a story documenting attacks on members of law enforcement and the military by Republican legislators and candidates for office.

This week, Minnesota Republican gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen’s first ad hit the airwaves. The ad attempts to obfuscate Jensen’s view on abortion in an attempt to walk back his ticket’s extreme and archaic remarks about women and abortions. This heavy-handed attempt at revisionism was not lost on the media, both local and national, who have been highlighting Jensen’s ad and flip-flop on abortion.

Two days ago, the Anti-Defamation League used a data leak to reveal that a sitting elected official was on the membership roster of the Oath Keepers, a violent, extremist, anti-government militia. Now, according to reporting from the Minnesota Reformer, we know who that is: Representative Don Raleigh.

Over the 12 days of the Minnesota State Fair, both candidates for governor made themselves available to voters. What Minnesota’s voters got from Scott Jensen was an increasingly nervous candidate, frustrated about fundraising numbers and his plummeting support in the polls. Yesterday’s new SurveyUSA poll demonstrates that Minnesotans stand with Governor Tim Walz and his leadership over Jensen’s unpredictable campaign antics. 

Last week, Scott Jensen held a fundraiser hosted by Jim Knoblach – a disgraced former St. Cloud GOP State Representative who abandoned his 2018 reelection bid after being credibly accused of inappropriately touching his own daughter.
