Jen Schultz Has No Explanation for
Voting to Defund and Disarm Police

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

HERMANTOWN – With police recruitment, retention, and morale at an all-time low and crime at an all-time high, Jen Schultz refused in a WDIO-TV debate tonight to explain why she voted to disarm and defund the police and why she publicly pledged to do so to a radical anti-police group.

“With our police being denigrated and disparaged by an extreme, anti-police movement, our public safety is being threatened and it’s absolutely absurd that Jen Schultz is clinging to this dangerous agenda,” said Johnny Eloranta, the campaign manager for Pete Stauber for Congress. “Jen Schultz owes every Minnesotan an explanation and an apology for standing with the defund-the-police crowd that threatens safety in communities across the country.”

Jen Schultz’s anti-law enforcement record and alliance with the extreme, anti-police community is clear:

• In 2019 she stood with radical and extreme Twin Cities liberals and voted in the state legislature to disarm the police. 
• In 2020, she sided with radical and extreme Twin Cities liberals and voted in the state legislature to defund the police. 
• She even doubled down on her anti-police agenda by publicly pledging to a radical, anti-police group to:
  • Defund the police
  • End cash bail
  • Allow felons to vote
  • End minimum sentencing
  • Release violent criminals from jails

“Jen Schultz’s campaign has been on life support since the moment she launched it from St. Paul with Twin Cities liberals by her side,” Eloranta said. “Minnesotans value their way of life and will not tolerate anti-police radicals.”

Pete Stauber is in his second term representing Minnesota’s 8th congressional district in U.S. Congress. Pete served 23 years in law enforcement and retired as an Area Commander in the Duluth Police Department. A former professional hockey player in the Detroit Red Wings organization, Pete and his wife, Jodi, live with their five children and foster baby in Hermantown. Jodi is an Iraq war veteran who retired from the 148th Fighter Wing as the First female Command Chief in the history of the unit.
