Peggy Flanagan and I are on the ballot. Only one of us let $9 billion walk out the door to fraud.

Peggy Flanagan refuses to name the problem: Somali gang violence. Minnesotans shouldn’t have to fear bullets flying at high school football games. I’m proud to be endorsed by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association and the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll stand with law enforcement, crack down on Somali gang violence, and hold violent criminals accountable. Minnesota deserves safe communities and leaders who confront the hard truths.

Peggy Flanagan didn’t show for our debate because she can’t defend her incompetence and failure, the same record that led Tim Walz to withdraw from his race. It was a pleasure to join Tom Hauser and KSTP to provide straight talk about the new leadership Minnesota needs. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to bring common sense and accountability to Washington and put Minnesotans first.

People never expected this race to be close. Now we’re surging—just one month before Election Day. Minnesotans are seeing through the excuses. Peggy Flanagan is part of the problem, not the solution—and she can’t run from the record. 31 days. Every vote matters. Get registered. Make a plan. Vote. Let’s make history in Minnesota.

Today there was an incredibly important Senate hearing on protecting women’s sports. Not one Democrat showed up. Do not call yourself a women’s-rights advocate if you refuse to show up when it matters most. America’s daughters are watching. They deserve leaders who will defend Title IX and fight for their future.

There are two names on the ballot. Only one of us allowed over $9 billion in fraud. Only one of us refuses to call out Somali gang violence. Only one of us was part of an administration that oversaw declining academic performance. Peggy Flanagan should be held accountable, not rewarded with a promotion.

A shooting linked to Somali gang violence forced the evacuation of Eden Prairie’s homecoming game. Peggy Flanagan hasn’t said a word. That silence speaks volumes. Minnesotans deserve leaders who will confront violent crime and stand with law enforcement. I’m proud to have the endorsements of Minnesota’s leading law enforcement organizations. In the Senate, I’ll be a voice for safe communities and hold criminals accountable.

Peggy Flanagan was Tim Walz’s lieutenant governor while billions in taxpayer dollars were funneled to fraudsters. She was part of the administration in charge. Minnesotans don’t need to send that record to Washington. Minnesota, are you ready to hold them accountable?

NEW 📺 AD: We teach our kids that bad behavior has consequences, but somehow politicians think the same rules don’t apply to them. Peggy Flanagan ignored warning signs while fraudsters stole our tax dollars. She has spent eight years as lieutenant governor in the Walz administration, yet now wants Minnesotans to believe she had nothing to do with its failures. We cannot allow her in the U.S. Senate.

Peggy Flanagan offered talking points instead of defending her record. There is no excuse for the fraud that cost Minnesota taxpayers billions while Peggy was lieutenant governor. There is no excuse for the crime that has families and businesses worried about public safety. Peggy cannot defend her record because Minnesotans are living with the consequences of her failures. In 18 days, Peggy Flanagan will receive a pink slip.

Peggy Flanagan wanted to talk about “lost access” to programs for Minnesotans. Let’s talk about the lost access families with special-needs children faced because fraudsters stole millions meant to help them. I will not allow Peggy to lecture me when fraudsters ripped off taxpayers and vulnerable families under her watch as lieutenant governor.

Minnesota has a Somali gang violence problem, and Peggy Flanagan refuses to call it out. No answers. No solutions. Nothing but excuses. In the U.S. Senate, I’ll work with law enforcement to confront gang violence and hold criminals accountable. Minnesota families deserve safe communities and leaders willing to confront the problem head-on.

Peggy Flanagan refuses to name the problem: Somali gang violence. I am proud to have the endorsements of the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association and the Police Officers Federation of Minneapolis. In the U.S. Senate, I will work with the brave men and women who protect our neighborhoods and address the gang violence Peggy refuses to confront.

It’s outrageous that the person charged in the Eden Prairie homecoming shooting is already back on the street. As your senator, I’ll work with our U.S. Attorney to prosecute repeat gang offenders in federal court under RICO and federal gun laws, so they serve real time in prison.
