BREAKING NEWS: The Schwarze for Senate campaign today announced nearly 100 state legislators and Republican candidates (and counting!) who have united behind our campaign for U.S. Senate.

This monumental accomplishment, less than a week after I became the Republican-endorsed candidate, composed of conservative leaders from every corner of the state.

Right now, our momentum continues to grow from the Iron Range, to the Twin Cities, to the southern border. Minnesota families want a fighter they can trust, who has done the work, and I am honored by their support. Thank you!

JACKSON COUNTY REPUBLICANS CONDEMN STATE CHAIR'S ATTEMPT TO UNDERMINE GRASSROOTS DELEGATES AND PARTY CONSTITUTION

JACKSON, MN — The Jackson County Republican Executive Committee strongly condemns recent remarks by Minnesota Republican Party Chairman Alex Plechash regarding candidate endorsements and the endorsement process.

Over the weekend, thousands of grassroots delegates from across Minnesota gathered in Duluth for the State Republican Convention. This event marked the culmination of a months-long process that began at local precinct caucuses in February. Delegates invested their time, resources, and energy to participate in the constitutional process of selecting the party's endorsed candidates.

Chairman Plechash's statement suggesting that candidates who failed to secure the party's endorsement are no longer bound by their pledge to abide by the endorsement undermines the authority of the delegates and the integrity of the endorsement process. To dismiss the decisions of the convention body is a direct affront to the grassroots activists who are the foundation of our party.

While concerns have been raised regarding technical issues with electronic voting devices used during the convention, the facts remain clear: the convention body voted to use the devices, voted to proceed with the process, and ultimately made its endorsement decisions. Those decisions deserve to be respected.

Jackson County Republicans stand firmly with the grassroots delegates of Minnesota and the constitutional processes that govern our party. We reject any attempt to diminish the voice of the delegates or undermine the legitimacy of the endorsements they selected.

We call on Chairman Plechash to retract his statement, apologize to Minnesota's grassroots delegates, and reaffirm his commitment to respecting the will of the convention body and the principles of party self-governance.

Over the past 10 months, Kendall Qualls won 17 out of 19 straw polls. The GOP convention only validated what has been happening all across the state. Let’s unite so we can win.

Unite the Republican Party!!

We have confirmation that Endorsed Republican Governor Candidate Kendal Qualls has reached out to Lisa Demuth offering to join his campaign as his Lt. Governor. No response has been received as of yet!

Republicans are the strongest when we stand together! Delegates from across Minnesota invest their time, energy, and resources to participate in conventions, debate the issues, evaluate the candidates, and ultimately select the individuals they believe are best prepared to represent our Republican values.

Not everyone will agree with every outcome, but respecting the endorsement process is essential to maintaining a strong and united party. Once the delegates have spoken and an endorsement has been earned, Republicans should rally behind our endorsed candidates and focus on the larger mission ahead.

If we want to protect our freedoms, strengthen our economy, support our families, and bring common-sense leadership to Minnesota, we must focus on what unites us rather than what divides us. Internal divisions only make it harder to achieve the goals we all share.

Now is the time to come together, support our endorsed Republican candidates up and down the ballot, and work toward victory in November. A united Republican Party is our best path to success!!

Unendorsed candidates rarely get the Republican Party's nomination, but Tafoya promises to soldier on.
