I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of Andrea Merrell, a security guard at M Health Fairview in Wyoming, MN. First responders and those who keep us safe are under attack far, far too often. Sadly, often from political leaders. It’s time to protect those who protect us.
Hospital security guard dies from injuries sustained in Christmas assault, suspect in custody Wyoming PD identified the suspect on Saturday as Jonathan Winch, 35, of Chisago City, and said he is currently being held at the Chisago County Jail.

If we want to turn this state around, we need to start actually enforcing the law. We shouldn’t be playing catch and release with repeat offenders like felons who are in possession of firearms.

Minnesota is a special place, but we’ve lost our way under the leadership of Tim Walz and ineffective state legislators. Eliminating fraud, promoting safe streets, ensuring educational excellence, and cutting living costs… I don’t understand why these issues are political, but

Governor Walz held a press conference this morning where he lashed out at Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other federal law enforcement officers for enforcing the law—the same ICE agents Walz ignorantly calls the Gestapo. Who are these people actually trying to protect?

$9 BILLION (or more) IN FRAUD. And that’s just in Medicaid services. Tim Walz has completely failed Minnesota and it’s time for change. https://t.co/YF825ILiY5

A top prosecutor suggested on Thursday that the total amount of fraud in Minnesota could be $9 billion or more.

I agree with Majority Whip Emmer - it’s hard to believe that Walz and his administration had no idea what was going on. Voters need to hold him accountable in November.

“A top prosecutor suggested on Thursday that the total amount of fraud in Minnesota could be $9 billion or more.” Yes, you read that right. $9 BILLION…OR MORE. 🤯🤯🤯
About half or more of the roughly $18 billion in claims paid out by Medicaid to Minnesota-run programs may have been fraudulent, and at least 14 programs were likely exploited, a federal prosecutor said Thursday.

The only type of industry Governor Walz seems to encourage and support is the fraud tourism industry.

I have one question for Republicans: are you tired of losing? I’m not interested in losing. I’m not a very good politician and I really hope I never become one. We need to stop fraud, fix education, and improve public safety, and that’s exactly what I’ll do as Governor.
