I am running to rescue Minnesota from becoming a failed one-party state and to restore it for the next generation of Minnesotans.
Are you tired of seeing Minnesota in the national news for all the wrong reasons—fraud, riots, and scandal?
Have you considered leaving Minnesota, like so many of our friends already have, because they’ve lost faith in the Republican Party’s ability to turn this state around?
For 20 years, we’ve repeated the same failed strategy: nominating candidates for governor drawn from the same pool—the Minnesota state legislature. The results speak for themselves. That’s why I’m running. Minnesota doesn’t need another career politician from St. Paul. We need a business leader from outside St. Paul politics—someone who can fix St. Paul politics.

Ron Schutz grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm where he learned the value of hard work, discipline, faith, and the importance of education. Those lessons shaped a life of service—as a husband, father, Army veteran, and community leader.

Minnesotans deserve elections that are free, fair, and secure, and confidence that their vote truly matters. Our democracy depends on it. It’s time to make Minnesota’s elections the gold standard in the nation by delivering the accessibility, accuracy, and accountability voters deserve.
The Secretary of State’s office serves more than just voters. Small businesses, nonprofits, and survivors of domestic abuse rely on it for essential services, from business filings to the Safe at Home program, which protects victims by keeping their addresses confidential. Minnesotans need to know they can count on this office for timely, trustworthy, and effective support.

Together We Restore Trust in State Government
Nate George is running for MN State Auditor because he believes Minnesotans deserve a government that is open, accountable and responsible with every dollar. As State Auditor, his mission is to bring transparency to every corner of government spending, ensuring taxpayers can clearly see how their money is used and why. He will uphold accuracy in public financing – holding officials to the same high standards Minnesotans set for themselves. Through unwavering fiscal responsibility, he will safeguard our state’s resources, promote efficient budgeting, and prevent waste so that Minnesota’s future remains strong, stable and fair for all.
Together, we can restore trust in government, strengthen oversight, and make sure every public dollar truly works for the people of Minnesota.

“Everything I do is to support the nation that has given me so much. First, as a Marine and then as a Navy SEAL, I deployed nine times to keep America safe. I am a born and raised Minnesotan, values-driven, unapologetic American enthusiast, and a battle-tested warrior. Now, I’m running for the U.S. Senate to represent the people of Minnesota because they deserve strong, principled leadership that will jump-start the economy, make government accountable, instill conservative values, and put our national security first.”

Michelle Fischbach is the U.S. Congressional Representative for western Minnesota’s 7th District. She is a trailblazer and proven conservative leader, continuing to make her mark as a member of the House Committees on Ways and Means, Ethics, Budget, and Rules. On Ways and Means, she serves on the Trade Subcommittee and the Oversight Subcommittee. Prior to her election to Congress, she served as the 49th Lieutenant Governor of Minnesota, ascending to that position following the resignation of her predecessor. She was the first woman in Minnesota history to serve as President of the Minnesota Senate – initially from 2011-12, then again from 2017-18. She also served as Chairman of the Senate Higher Education Committee. In her 2020 victory, she was the only Republican to flip a seat that wasn’t open or held by a Democrat freshman, defeating a 30 year incumbent by 14 points. She holds a B.A. from St. Cloud State University and a J.D. from William Mitchell College of Law. Michelle and her husband, Scott, live in Regal and have two grown children and eight grandchildren.

My family and I are six generations deep in Senate District 15. My relatives came for opportunity and to build a better life in Southwest Minnesota. Our families and young people are choosing other states for lower taxes and fees, a higher quality of education, a lower cost of living and more opportunities to succeed. I've chosen to invest my future here in Southwest Minnesota--buying a farm site, raising chickens, building my businesses, working as a loan officer at a family-owned bank and helping to make Minnesota a better place.

“I’m not running to fight political battles — I’m running to make life work better for the people living here right now.”
Brad Hennen was born and raised on a family farm near Ghent in Lyon County, where he learned the value of hard work, personal responsibility, and showing up for your neighbors. He and his wife Barb raised their nine children here, and now, as grandparents, they care deeply about the future being built for the next generation
Brad is running because he believes Southwest Minnesota should be a place where families can build a life, grow a business, and put down roots — without feeling like they have to leave to succeed.
