Fellow Minnesotans,
This is Phillip Parrish—retired U.S. Navy Lieutenant Commander, fraud whistleblower, farmer, father, teacher, lifelong Minnesotan, and your unapologetic Republican candidate for Governor in 2026. I’m speaking directly to you today, no filters, no corporate polish—just the raw truth guided by faith in Jesus Christ and a burning commitment to our constitutional republic.
The syndicate insiders and their establishment puppets are already spreading whispers and outright lies to confuse and discourage good people. They’re trying to paint my refusal to play their rigged game as some kind of surrender. Let’s shut that down right now with the facts.
We are not dropping out. We are not sidelined.
My decision to skip the $5,000 or $10,000 “speaker fee” (or whatever creative name they’re slapping on it) for the May State Convention in Duluth changes nothing about my place on the Republican ballot. Read it twice: it does not disqualify me. The party documents demanding that cash never once stated that refusing to pay would remove my name from any ballot, endorsement process, or the primary itself. If certain leaders in the Republican state central committee or nominations committee decide to pull strings and try to exclude me anyway, that burden falls squarely on their shoulders—not mine, not yours, and definitely not on the will of the voters in our constitutional republic.
The real path to the ballot is clear and coming fast:
Filing week opens the week of May 18, 2026. As the law permits, I will file as a Republican with the Minnesota Secretary of State’s office during that window. That’s the moment candidates officially secure their spot on the August 11 primary ballot—no convention endorsement required, no pay-to-play gatekeepers needed. The primary is where the people decide—not a select club of insiders who demand fees to let you speak. My name will be there, my message will blast across the state, and we’ll let real Republican voters—not paid-up insiders—have the final say.
Expect the gaslighting to ramp up soon from establishment types and some other candidates: “Parrish isn’t serious,” “He bailed on the party,” “He’s out of the race.” Don’t swallow it. They’re terrified because I refuse their pay-to-play circus and won’t stay silent about the looting syndicates bleeding billions from daycare fraud factories, election manipulations, COVID relief heists, and more. This fight is right vs. wrong, not about who can afford the biggest ticket to a convention microphone.
To understand the full picture of what’s happening behind the scenes—the slate games, the deceptive endorsement traps, the silence from those who should know better—read these recent exposures:
• Exposing the “Slate” Game: How Establishment Insiders Manipulate Delegate Selection and Rig the Republican Process – From Precinct to County to State
Details how county-level slates stack the deck, exclude newcomers, and filter out reformers to protect the status quo.
• Open Letter to Minnesota’s Media and My Fellow Republicans: Drop the Egos, Own the Silence, and Let the Truth Win
Calls out the media and Republican figures who’ve ignored or downplayed massive fraud while taxpayers suffer—yet forgiveness is offered through Christ, with a demand for real action now.
• Unity Behind the Primary Winner: Exposing the Deceptive Endorsement Trap That Divides Republicans and Protects Minnesota’s Criminal Syndicate
Breaks down why true unity means rallying behind the primary winner—not a flawed, fee-laden convention process that insiders subvert when it suits them.
Share these everywhere. Forward them. Post them. The more light we shine on their deceptions, the harder it becomes for the shadows to operate.

No more syndicate shadows pulling strings. Donate today at parrish4mn.com/contribute—revery dollar arms this fight.
To every hardworking, honest Republican across this state: Know this—we hold deep respect for you. This campaign isn’t about dividing good people. It’s about stopping the tiny clique that believes they can muzzle 80% of Minnesotans and anoint their preferred winners. Your voice counts. Your vote counts. We will not let them steal that from you.
This is the battle for our constitutional republic. We expose the corruption head-on, stand firm on truth anchored in faith in Jesus Christ, and we win. Right overcomes wrong when the people rise together.
Forward this letter. Share it widely. Let’s make the guilty sweat and the honest stand tall.
In faith, resolve, and ready for victory,
Phillip C. Parrish
Candidate for Governor of Minnesota 2026
