Statement from Phillip C. Parrish, Candidate for Governor of Minnesota
Dear Minnesotans,
While our in-person conversation was brief, the work of Caitlin Alexander at KTTC is a powerful reminder of the unwavering integrity and dedication that can be found throughout our state. Caitlin’s journalism, particularly her Emmy-nominated “Kids With Courage” series, exemplifies a commitment to highlighting the resilience and hope within our communities, a value that resonates deeply with my campaign’s mission to protect our children and strengthen family values across Minnesota.
As I reviewed Caitlin’s body of work, I was struck by how closely it aligns with the priorities I’ve set for our state. Her focus on child safety and family well-being mirrors my pledge to reform Minnesota’s child welfare system, ensuring every child is protected and every parent empowered. Caitlin’s storytelling, which gives voice to young individuals facing health challenges, underscores the importance of parental rights and community support—core elements of my platform. This dedication to uplifting our most vulnerable is the kind of integrity that great Minnesotans like Caitlin demonstrate daily, and it is precisely this spirit that will guide us as we work together to build a safer, stronger future.
Caitlin’s reporting also reflects a deep understanding of the economic challenges and opportunities facing our state. Her coverage of local businesses, community initiatives, and the integration of diverse populations aligns with my vision for fiscal responsibility and economic growth. By streamlining regulations, repurposing underused state resources, and supporting legal immigration pathways that benefit our workforce, we can create an environment where small businesses thrive and all Minnesotans have the chance to succeed. Caitlin’s work reminds us that economic vitality is not just about numbers; it’s about the people and communities that drive our state forward, a principle at the heart of my campaign.
Moreover, Caitlin’s commitment to transparent, accountable journalism resonates with my pledge to uphold the rule of law. Her reporting on public safety, community issues, and the need for justice aligns with my goal to crack down on white-collar crime, human trafficking, and ensure our law enforcement agencies are equipped to protect our citizens. This shared dedication to accountability and fairness is a testament to the kind of integrity that great Minnesotans like Caitlin embody, and it is through this integrity that we can restore trust in our institutions and safeguard our communities.
It is time for great Minnesotans like Caitlin Alexander to be recognized. Across our state, individuals like her are working tirelessly to uplift our communities, tell our stories, and uphold the values that make Minnesota strong. Their dedication is a beacon for all of us, and it is through their example that we can unite to restore Minnesota’s spirit of strength, community, and hope. Together, we can accomplish our shared vision—protecting our children, fostering economic opportunity, and upholding the rule of law. This is not just my vision; it is our vision, and with the recognition and support of great Minnesotans like Caitlin, we will build a brighter tomorrow for all.
Thank you, Caitlin, for your work and the platform you provide. It is through such dedication that we can continue to move forward, inspired by the potential of our great state and the people who define it.
Sincerely,
Phillip C. Parrish
