By Phillip C. Parrish, Candidate for Governor of Minnesota
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 13, 2025
A Call to the True Majority
I’m not here to parrot some polished poll from the Star Tribune or PRRI, crafted by focus groups and funded by Planned Parenthood’s deep pockets. Those surveys, claiming 70% of Minnesotans cheer for late-term abortions, don’t survive a conversation on a Worthington porch, an Otter Tail farm road, or a Duluth union hall. I’m Phillip C. Parrish, running for Minnesota Governor in 2026, and I’ve heard the real story from the true majority: moms who voted blue in 2022, whispering, “I didn’t sign up for babies chopped up at nine months.” Dads who punch clocks, asking why their taxes bankroll it. Independents, the swing voters the elites obsess over, done pretending the emperor has clothes.
Tim Walz and his Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) allies have sold us feudalism with a smile, cloaked in euphemisms like “reproductive freedom.” It’s not freedom—it’s a culture of death, and the true majority is fed up. We’re done letting big-money donors and media spin doctors tell us what we believe. It’s time to amplify the voice of Minnesota’s heartland and take back our state.
The PRO Act: A License for Slaughter, Not Sanctuary
The 2023 Protect Reproductive Options (PRO) Act, signed by Walz without hesitation, wasn’t about protecting choice—it was a blood-soaked blank check. No gestational limits, no informed consent, no parental notification. Minnesota became an interstate abortion mill, with a 39% spike in procedures since 2021 and a 50% surge in out-of-state patients. They call it a “sanctuary”; I call it a slaughterhouse. Rural counties are bleeding population faster than feedlots lose livestock, and Walz shrugs, complicit in a policy that empties cribs while Planned Parenthood’s coffers overflow. The true majority doesn’t buy it—we want life, not destruction.
The Trans Agenda: Erasing Families and Futures
Walz’s extremism doesn’t stop at abortion. His 2023 HF 146 bill turned Minnesota into a “trans refuge” state, letting kids flee from places like Iowa to get irreversible hormone treatments—often against their parents’ wishes. These policies don’t protect; they sterilize, ensuring fewer families, fewer children, fewer futures. Pair this with the PRO Act, and the pattern is clear: abort the babies, neuter the rest, then call it progress. This isn’t compassion—it’s a deliberate assault on biological families and representation itself. Minnesota’s population collapse is real: rural schools close, bus routes vanish, and birth rates plummet. By 2040, we risk becoming a ghost state, and Walz’s agendas are pouring fuel on the fire.
The Elite Lie: Polls That Serve Power, Not People
Don’t be fooled by the elite’s polls, bankrolled by the same billion-dollar abortion industry that props up Walz. Their data claims Minnesotans love this, but talk to real people, and the truth emerges. We support the 1995 Doe v. Gomez decision affirming abortion rights under our state constitution, but we draw the line at public funds—Medicaid, our tax dollars—paying for elective procedures. The true majority wants adoption credits, real maternity support, and policies that build families, not tear them apart. Those slick surveys? They’re designed to silence dissent, to make you think you’re alone. You’re not. The crowds at my rallies—Democrats, independents, everyday folks—prove it. They’re asking questions, demanding answers, and rejecting the feudal lords who think they can dictate our values.
Dean Phillips and the Call for Courage
In this fight, I salute former Congressman Dean Phillips. His bold critiques of the Democratic Party’s insularity, calling out its “devoid” leadership and urging a reset, resonate here in Minnesota. Dean, you’re not alone—keep swinging. Your voice is waking up Democrats who see the DFL’s drift into extremism. The party isn’t just broken; it’s been hijacked by elites who think “majority support” is whatever a donor’s check buys. To every Minnesotan: follow Dean’s lead. Ask why Walz and his allies double down on policies that destroy life and representation. Ask who profits when our birth rates crash and our communities hollow out. Ask why “reproductive freedom” means dead fetuses and sterile teens. These aren’t the actions of sane leaders—they’re the moves of a feudal machine that thrives on control, not care.
Condemning Complicity, Reclaiming Minnesota
I condemn Tim Walz and his allies for their complicity in this culture of death. They know the stakes—fewer births, fewer families, a state on the brink—and yet they persist, driven by big money and radical ideology. Their agendas aren’t just destroying our children; they’re erasing the very representation that makes Minnesota vibrant. Biological families, electoral voices, rural communities—all sacrificed on the altar of their feudal vision.
As your next governor, I’ll fight for the true majority. We’ll defend life from conception to natural death, honor the 1995 court ruling without forcing taxpayers to fund abortions, and rebuild communities with adoption aid and family-first policies. No more elite lies. No more death-cult dogma. Join me at the next rally, on the doorstep, or at the ballot box. Ask the hard questions. Demand answers. In 2026, we’ll bury this nightmare and restore Minnesota’s soul. The real majority is awake, and we will not be silenced.
