Faribault, MN – Chairman Alex Plechash and the Minnesota Republican Party just issued another statement full of the same insider talking points after President Trump gave me his complete and total endorsement for Governor, with Phillip C. Parrish as my Lieutenant Governor running mate.
They were “surprised.” They claim we need the candidate “best positioned to defeat Amy Klobuchar.” They attack my record and raise “unanswered questions surrounding my running mate.”
Alex and the party know exactly who Phillip and I are. They know our records. They know what we’ve done and what we’ve sacrificed. This isn’t a serious critique — it’s the same unhealthy, inappropriate insider game they’ve played against anyone who actually threatens their comfortable arrangement with the status quo while the DFL syndicate loots Minnesota.
The attacks on me are recycled nonsense. The Chairman knows why I took the election integrity fight nationwide — because the real battle wasn’t going to be won by staying quiet while the machine operated. The costs I’ve paid in business and reputation are the direct result of refusing to back down against the same forces that have rigged processes and protected the grift in this state for years. They know that. Framing it as “leaving Minnesota” or “financial baggage” is just cheap political theater from people more interested in protecting their own power than actually winning for Minnesota families.
As for my running mate Phillip Parrish — the party knows all about him too. He’s a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander with 21 years in intelligence who spent years hunting terrorists and their financial networks. He’s an 80% disabled veteran. A farmer protecting land in Goodhue County. He serves as Executive Administrator at Divine Mercy Catholic Church and School, where he has worked with integrity and transparency to strengthen the organization. He’s a father and grandfather, a fraud whistleblower who has exposed scams and theft networks, and a man who has been calling out the organized corruption and racketeering in Minnesota for years. The “unanswered questions” line is pure gamesmanship from insiders who know the answers and simply don’t like what they see in a man who won’t play their game.
Plechash talks about “serious, disciplined leadership” and candidates who spent years “strengthening the party.” What that really means is they’ve been part of the polite opposition that loses while the DFL machine, its nonprofit grifters, unions, and connected interests turn our state into their personal cash register. “Uniting” by telling the base to fall in line behind more insiders is how Minnesota keeps ending up with DFL trifectas and deeper in the hole.
Minnesota families don’t need more lectures from the same establishment that has watched the looting happen. They need leaders who actually understand their lives — the farmer getting squeezed off the land, the veteran coming home to a broken system, the parent fighting for their kids, the worker tired of funding the grift. That’s the Lindell-Parrish ticket.
Our vision is simple and direct: Secure elections so every legal vote counts. Audit the waste and theft. Pursue real accountability against the networks operating like organized crime. Expand school choice. Protect our constitutional rights and our God-given freedoms. Cut the parasites and restore a constitutional republic that serves the people who actually build and produce — not the syndicate and its enablers.
We didn’t ask the MNGOP machine for permission or their blessing. We have the complete and total endorsement of the President who beat the machine. And we have the support of the fed-up majority across this state who are done being told to sit down and accept more of the same.
To every delegate, precinct captain, and Republican who has been sidelined or ignored for refusing to play along: August 11 is your chance. Choose the fighters. Choose the team that is coming for the looters. Choose the Lindell-Parrish ticket.
The machine is sweating. The syndicate is nervous. Good. Let’s save Minnesota.
God bless Minnesota. Let’s get to work.
