Phillip C. Parrish, Candidate for Lt. Governor of Minnesota 2026, is excited to announce the Team Lindell-Parrish County Ambassadors. This initiative establishes a network of dedicated ambassadors representing all 87 counties in Minnesota, amplifying our commitment to servant leadership, integrity, and community-driven solutions.
The County Ambassadors will serve as a powerful extension of our campaign, reaching out to Minnesotans across the state—especially the hardworking poor, the hardworking middle class, and those facing poverty. These ambassadors will ensure that the voices of the real majority are heard, prioritized, and uplifted. By fostering direct connections with communities, they will share our message of restoring Minnesota’s foundations through transparency, accountability, and a rejection of divisive political elitism.
As outlined on our website, Team Parrish is committed to:
• Protecting the innocent and supporting those in need with dignity and respect.
• Ending fraud and white-collar crime, restoring integrity to our state’s systems.
• Promoting unity over division, focusing on what’s right, not left or right.
• Empowering personal responsibility and community-driven solutions over government dependency.
Our County Ambassadors will engage with Minnesotans in every corner of the state, from rural communities to urban centers, to rebuild trust in governance and inspire a culture of servant leadership.
