MNGOP Chairman Alex Plechash Statement on Keith Ellison’s Run for a Third Term

  • Post category:Statement

“Keith Ellison running for a third term tells Minnesotans everything they need to know about the DFL’s addiction to power. He and Tim Walz act like kings who refuse to give up the throne — but Minnesotans are ready to end their reign.

Under Ellison and Walz, crime has soared and fraud has flourished. Violent crime rose over 40% in the first three years of their leadership, while law enforcement was handcuffed and criminals were coddled. Over $1 billion in taxpayer money was stolen through fraud schemes on their watch — so rampant that the federal government had to step in and clean up the mess because Minnesota Democrats refused to hold anyone accountable.

Instead of protecting taxpayers and victims, Ellison has spent his time chasing headlines, pushing a national woke agenda, and blaming everyone but himself. Meanwhile, families face higher costs, less safety, and fewer results.

Minnesotans deserve balance, accountability, and leaders who deliver measurable results — not more arrogance, excuses, and corruption. Walz and Ellison were rejected on the national stage, and they’ll be rejected right here at home in 2026.”
