John, Public fundraising reports from last quarter are out. Our numbers are strong, but in total, our GOP opponents still outraised Governor Walz and Lt. Governor Flanagan by tens of thousands of dollars. There’s no doubt about it: We’re in the fight of a lifetime this year. If we’re going to win in November, we need to keep our foot on the gas – and that means reaching our $40,000 mid-month goal by 11:59 pm tonight. The work we do in the coming months will shape the future of our state for generations. And we’re not just talking about critical issues like voting rights, abortion rights and climate change. All of our most fundamental values as Minnesotans are on the line. Just this week, leading Republican candidate Scott Jensen argued that counting diabetic Minnesotans among those who passed away from COVID-19 “skewed” the data because they would have died soon anyway. Appalling but not surprising, Jensen’s comments align with his prolific history of peddling COVID-19 misinformation. The well-respected, nonpartisan organization PolitiFact even cited Jensen as having played a role in spreading what it called the “Lie of the Year 2020: Coronavirus Downplay and Denial.” If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: Thank you, Team Walz-Flanagan
