This is confirmed, team. COVID-19 conspiracy theorist Scott Jensen officially launched his campaign against Governor Walz this morning. I checked our numbers the moment I saw the news, and I’ll be blunt: We have some work to do. In order to make sure we have the resources to push back effectively, we need to raise at least $8,000 by MIDNIGHT. While Governor Walz was working around the clock to keep Minnesotans safe when the pandemic hit, Jensen was spreading harmful, self-serving lies on Fox News in an attempt to downplay the virus, which has now claimed over half a million American lives. Thank you,
Berrett Gall

Tim Walz for Governor
Friends, News just broke that former GOP state senator and prolific COVID-19 misinformation purveyor Scott Jensen is planning to announce a campaign against Governor Walz next week. Jensen made headlines for the wrong reasons last year when he made a number of appearances on Fox News spreading dangerous lies about the virus. His claims have since fueled countless conspiracy theories and undermined the work of public health professionals across our country. During a time of unprecedented crisis, Jensen showed us that he cannot be trusted. If we’re going to make sure Minnesota continues to be a place where we follow science and put people before TV interviews, we can’t give him an inch. We’re aiming to shore up our budget by next week so we can be ready to remind Minnesotans exactly who Jensen is the moment he announces.
