Ryan Wilson

Last night’s election results didn’t turn out the way we had hoped. We put our all into this campaign, and I want to thank our thousands of volunteers, every supporter, and all the voters who turned out to support the Demuth-Wilson team on this journey. From central Minnesota to the Iron Range, to southern Minnesota and everywhere in between, thank you to everyone who put their faith in my vision for this state. I want to thank my running mate, Ryan Wilson. Thank you to my family, who was there every step of the way. This has been a hard-fought campaign. We started with one opponent, and ended with another. We visited communities all over the state, and spoke with thousands of Minnesotans about the new direction they want to see our state take. I talked with Amy Klobuchar last night to congratulate her on her victory and to wish her well as she prepares to serve as Minnesota’s next governor. As our state moves forward there are still things that need to be fixed. My request to all of you is that we work together and we hold people accountable for the changes and the protections that need to happen in this state. Minnesota is our home, and it will always be worth fighting for.

I entered this race for governor with a track record of fighting to protect our tax dollars from fraud and waste, and a vision to help make Minnesota the stronger, better state we all know it can be. The finish line is near. Get to your polling place before 8 p.m. Make sure you, your neighbors, friends and family cast your votes. Let's turn this state around. Together. Find your polling place at mnvotes.org

We know Minnesotans are looking for common sense solutions to the problems that two terms of Tim Walz has brought on us all.

We wrapped up our five-day statewide tour last night with a rally in Lexington. We can turn this state around. An end to fraud. Lower taxes. Safer streets. Better education for our children. Minnesota is worth saving. It starts with your vote today.

The Victory Office in Lexington brought the energy tonight. What a way to wrap up our five-day statewide tour! Tomorrow we run through the tape and kickstart Minnesota's comeback. Polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 8 p.m. Go to mnvotes.org to find your polling place. Let's win.

Two days to deliver change for Minnesota! Our statewide bus tour has made stops to visit with Minnesotans in: Hinckley, Duluth, Hermantown, Bemidji, Moorhead, Brainerd, Alexandria, Waite Park, Elk River, Stillwater, Owatonna, Winona, Rochester, Hastings, Glencoe, Willmar, Marshall, Mankato. More coming today. Let's run through the tape together and kickstart Minnesota's comeback.

The status quo ends when I’m Governor. Minnesotans are being crushed by the Walz-Klobuchar tax and spend policies. Help is on the way, including property tax relief, $99 or less for car tab fees and much more. We can end the fraud and make Minnesota affordable. Change comes soon.

Thank you to everyone who came to Hastings today to greet our bus tour. Minnesotans are ready for real change. As governor I will cut taxes, support Minnesota businesses, and grow our economy. Democrats have doubled our state budget over the last decade, while economic growth in Minnesota has been flat. We cannot afford more of the same – Klobuchar would serve as a Walz third term. If we want to have great schools, jobs and communities, and all the things that bring and keep people here, we need to have an economy that grows. That's what I will deliver as governor.

Last night’s violence at Union Depot in St. Paul again demonstrates that Somali gang violence is out of control in Minnesota. We can’t afford more of the same. As the only candidate in the race endorsed by law enforcement, I have a plan to crack down on crime, including spiraling Somali gang violence.

"Minnesotans are demanding a new direction. And that starts at the top. As governor, I will turn this state around by protecting taxpayer dollars, ending fraud, bolstering public safety, improving education, and making sure people know that Minnesota is open for business." startribune.com/mn-midterm-e…

We had a capacity crowd ready to greet us today at Raphael's Bakery in Bemidji. The message we continue to hear from voters across our state is this: Common sense is making a comeback on Tuesday, Nov. 3.

We've traveled this amazing state for nearly a year, listening to Minnesotans and what they want to see from their elected leaders. They're ready to change:

Thank you Duluth and Hermantown for the warm welcome this morning. Minnesotans across our Northland know the stakes in this election are high. Tuesday, Nov. 3 gives us all an opportunity for a fresh start after the Walz/Klobuchar status quo brought us record fraud, oppressively high taxes and a failure to make our economy as competitive as we know it can be. Five days to cast your vote for a stronger, better Minnesota. Let's go!

We kicked off our multi-day statewide bus tour this morning to Get Out the Vote across Minnesota. Our stop at Tobie's with the crew this morning was wonderful, as always. Minnesotans are ready for: an end to fraud, lower taxes, safer communities and a better education for our kids. It's time for a fresh start.

Minnesota is just one of 8 states that has not yet eliminated the tax on social security. As Governor, I will ensure we get that done for all our seniors. Read more on our plan to make Minnesota more affordable: lisaformn.com/affordability-…

NEW TV AD: Minnesota needs a course correction. And we need it now.

It was a privilege for me to speak today with employees of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota about my work as a legislator and campaign for governor. The event in Eagan is part of the company’s “Citizen Blue” program. Thank you to those Blue Cross employees who joined me in person at their Eagan headquarters, and those who joined online.

Our kids and grandkids are counting on us to lead the way in ensuring Minnesota becomes a more affordable place to raise a family and a more competitive place to start and grow a business.

Today, I held a press conference to outline what Amy Klobuchar could have done to stop the fraud in Minnesota, but didn’t. In 2022, Sen. Klobuchar called for an investigation into Ticketmaster for their website crashing. But two months earlier when record-setting fraud occurred… she said nothing. So I challenged Minnesota media this morning to ask Amy Klobuchar the following questions: Why didn’t Sen. Klobuchar introduce any legislation to address the fraud? Why didn’t Sen. Klobuchar request audits, seek congressional hearings, press federal agencies for corrective action, and advocate for a coordinated investigation? Why didn’t Sen. Klobuchar request an independent Government Accountability Office (GAO) review? Why didn’t Sen. Klobuchar request the USDA’s inspector general to examine nutrition-program controls, and ask HHS’s inspector general and CMS to assess whether comparable vulnerabilities existed in Medicaid and other federally funded human services?

Amy Klobuchar thinks Tim Walz is an “incredible governor” that “delivers for Minnesota.” If you want more of Tim Walz and the status quo, Amy Klobuchar has a plan for that. If you want a fresh start for Minnesota, I’d welcome your support: lisaformn.com/
