- Minnesota had an $18 billion surplus just two years ago. Now we're facing a $6 billion deficit. Democrats can blame the President all they want, but it was their irresponsible spending spree that put us in this budget crisis.
- Minnesotans’ tax dollars shouldn’t be funding free college or health care for illegal immigrants. This is a top 10 priority bill for the @mnhousegop - great job @ImSchultz!A bill authored by a Minnesota House Republican would block "undocumented noncitizens" from receiving various state services, including subsidized health care under the MinnesotaCare program or academic scholarships under the "Minnesota Dream Act." kstp.com/kstp-news/top-…
- Not one word of condemnation from Democrats or @GovTimWalz over the unlawful & threatening behavior from Democrat activists attempting to disrupt House committee hearings today.
- This headline says it all. The Walz administration tolerated fraud for years and it cost Minnesota taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars.
- House Republicans are proud to stand with the supermajority of Minnesotans who believe we should protect girls’ sports. Disappointing that not even one House Democrat was willing to vote for common sense, safety, and fairness. This fight is not over.All 66 House Democrats just voted against the Preserving Girls' Sports Act, a bill that promotes fairness and safety in girls' sports.
- There will be no tax increases this session. Period.In budget, @GovTimWalz proposes adding sales tax to services. Gov. Dayton tried this too, but it failed. #mnleg
- Extremely disappointed by today's ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court. We must fix the Minnesota law to protect girls sports, and House Republicans are ready to take action right away when session starts next year. Full statement ⬇️
- Minnesotans are tired of the Tim Walz era of failed leadership where they've seen hundreds of millions of their tax dollars funneled to fraud schemes. When I'm governor we will eliminate the fraud culture and mechanisms that have flourished under seven years of Tim Walz. And we
00:00 - Can't believe this has to be said: the appropriate amount of fraud is ZERO. Commissioner Harpstead should join House Republicans in working to stop the fraud and show up to next week's Fraud & Oversight committee hearing.Commissioner Harpstead said she just accepts that there will be fraud and says the bigger question is what is the appropriate amount. (We say zero.)

02:14Minnesota is worth fighting for — that's why I'm announcing today that I'm running for Governor. - Smearing your political opponents as "fascists and Nazis" has become a pattern for Democrats — this needs to stop.CAUGHT ON TAPE: Walz says country stolen ‘by fascists and Nazis’ at nurses’ event
00:00 - I have four children and seven grandchildren. My running mate Ryan Wilson has five kids of his own. We're running for governor to ensure all kids will have a stronger, better Minnesota than the one that two terms of Tim Walz has left us with today: fox9.com/video/1738442
- If the governor refuses to work with the House at the start of session, he should not expect to be a part of budget negotiations at the end of it.I can absolutely confirm that the OHE Commissioner told me to my face, in my official Legislative office, with 4 other witnesses, that he was under the Governor's directive to not show up to the Higher Education Committee meetings. #mnleg
