Press Releases from the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party

DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement after learning about the passing of Senator David Tomassoni.

This morning, Congressman Brad Finstad was sworn in. Hours later, Finstad turned his back on his constituents by voting against the Inflation Reduction Act.

Today, Thursday, August 11, DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin released the following statement after Scott Jensen was fact-checked by CNN for promoting false conspiracy theories about the 2020 election (“the Big Lie”).

The Huffington Post reported that Republican Secretary of State candidate Kim Crockett has raised questions about whether non-English speakers and people with physical disabilities should be allowed to vote.

Scott Jensen wants everyone to forget that he chose partisan politics over Minnesota’s family farmers.

Today, after promising to ban abortion, after confirming his abortion ban would have no exceptions for rape and incest, and after selecting a notoriously anti-abortion running mate, Scott Jensen is trying desperately to walk back his support for a draconian abortion ban.

Republican Attorney General candidate Doug Wardlow pledged to use the Attorney General’s office to wage an all-out assault on access to abortion in Minnesota.

On a recent podcast episode, Republican State Representative Tony Albright confirmed that he would force a pregnant 10-year-old child and victim of sexual assault to give birth.

Yesterday, Scott Jensen’s running mate, Matt Birk, released a new video, unapologetically doubling down after video surfaced of Birk making appalling remarks about women with careers, rape, survivors, slavery, and abortion.

The microsite, www.crockettformn.com, will highlight Crockett’s attacks on our freedom to vote, as well as her history of racism and election conspiracy theories.
