Dear Friends and Neighbors,

A new poll released earlier this week shows widespread disapproval of the Democrat trifecta among voters in 22 competitive MN State House districts. A majority of voters do not approve of the agenda passed in the 2023 legislative session and are blaming the Democrat majority in the legislature and Democrat Governor Tim Walz.  

Voters strongly disapproved of several top Democrat priorities in the 2023 session.

• School Resource Officer restrictions - 73.9% oppose
• New state tax on capital gains - 65.9% oppose
• .50 fee on retail and food deliveries - 61.7% oppose
• Increasing the state gas tax - 72.5% oppose
• Creating a new payroll tax for state paid family leave program - 58.1% oppose

Swing voters are experiencing the negative impact complete Democrat control of state government is having on the economy and inflation. 56% of voters agree Democrat tax and spend policies will have a negative impact on both.

A majority of voters disapprove of the Democrat's 2023 legislative agenda, including a majority of independents. However, the poll gets even worse for Democrats when voters were asked about control of state government with an overwhelming 59% of voters saying one-party control is a bad thing, including 66.2% of independents.

Voters have different priorities from the Democrat majority. Here are the results from the poll when voters were asked about Republican priorities.

• Eliminating state tax on social security income - 82.5% support
• Keeping cash bail for violent offenders - 84% support
• School choice - 61.2% support

The far-left agenda of Democrats in the 2023 legislative session did not match what Democrats told voters on the campaign trail when they ran as moderates. Voters know the solution is to end one-party control of state government in 2024. Generic ballot polling of 22 swing districts showed Republicans 7.5% ahead of Democrats.

In The News

In the ongoing saga of the Democrat agenda that's damaging the once great state of MN, Gov. Walz and Democrats raised taxes on top of the $19 billion surplus making MN an even MORE expensive place to live, work, or visit.

Democrats and corporate media (redundant) attack profits rather than focus on the very real concerns of crime and safety. Leftist-run cities across the country are a disaster, 100% due to the monopoly of Democrat failed policies.

Even the traditionally Democrat voting residents and non-profits/community groups in Minneapolis are getting sick of Democrat politicians ignoring crime.

Staying In Touch

Tuesday morning this week, I joined Jon Justice on Twin Cities News Talk to discuss the new Democrat law that went into effect October 1 to issue drivers licenses for illegal foreign nationals, school board races and more. You can listen here. 

Join myself and other great speakers this Sunday at the Capitol rally!
