Check out this clip of @ChipforSOS speaking on SF 4223, the big Elections Policy Omnibus bill that just moved through the Senate.

SF 4223 includes important updates on candidate privacy and security (like keeping home addresses off nominating petitions and allowing more spending on protection). These are practical changes that hit close to home for anyone who’s ever gathered signatures or run outside the two major parties.

Chip has been boots-on-the-ground on this stuff for years! testifying, petitioning, and now running to actually run the office that administers these rules. That kind of experience matters.

My recent testimony encouraging an online system for candidate nominating petitions. It would be more secure and efficient, address ADA concerns, and protect everyone's privacy.

The real threat to the republic wasn’t foreign enemies, it was the division into two great parties that would put power and loyalty above the people.

That warning has never been more true.

The two-party system was always the real threat.

That’s exactly why we’re working hard to give Minnesotans real choices on the ballot.

Not just the same two options every election cycle.

More voices. More accountability. More freedom.

🧑‍🌾 "We're losing 1,200 to 1,500 family farms a year in Minnesota… and it's not the market's fault."

Rebecca Whiting, a local small farmer (micro-dairy on just 6 acres) sat down and dropped some hard truths about Sen. Tina Smith's Livestock Consolidation Research Act of 2026.

The bill claims to "study" why a few giant corporations now dominate meat and dairy. But the farmer's take? The politicians have zero self-awareness.

Because of crushing federal and state regulations (the same rules for a 1,000-cow dairy apply to someone milking 3-4 cows), small farms can't afford to stay in business or add value like selling cheese or yogurt at the farmers market. One farmer is looking at nearly a million dollars in infrastructure just to sell cheese locally.

Meanwhile, corporate operations absorb the costs, small farms fold, and consolidation marches on.

This is classic cronyism dressed up as "research."

The libertarian answer is simple: Get government out of the way! Stop with one-size-fits-all rules that only the big players can meet.

Let small farmers, local markets, and voluntary cooperation do what they do best feed communities without the middleman or the mandate.

This is exactly the kind of issue Rebecca is fighting for. Small farms = resilient food system. Over-regulation = consolidation and fragility.

🚨 Rebecca Whiting on foreign policy:

“No more entangling alliances. Our friends need to learn to run their own countries without the use of US dollars.”

As an Army combat veteran who served two tours in Iraq, Rebecca has seen the human and financial cost of endless wars and nation-building up close.

It’s time to end the entangling alliances, stop policing the world, and bring our troops home.

America should focus on its own people; not subsidizing foreign governments with our dollars and our soldiers.

Real leadership means putting America first… and staying out of foreign wars.

This is the kind of clear, principled thinking we need in Washington. No more endless wars that waste American lives.

Rebecca Whiting is running for U.S. Senate because she understands that true strength is peace through restraint and respect, not reckless intervention.

Rebecca Whiting is not your typical politician.

She’s an Army combat veteran who served two tours in Iraq as a medic. She’s also a wife, mother, homeschooler, and farmer from Bemidji, Minnesota.

After seeing the human cost of endless wars firsthand — including the failed VA system that too many veterans still struggle with — Rebecca decided to run for U.S. Senate.

She’s running to:

✅End America’s endless wars
✅Fix the broken VA and take care of our veterans
✅Reduce government overreach and bring power back to the people

Rebecca believes it’s time for real leadership that puts peace, veterans, and Minnesota families first — not more foreign entanglements.

Too many Minnesota families are being torn apart by family court decisions that create more conflict instead of putting children first.

The current system often favors one parent and turns parenting into a legal battle; hurting kids and parents alike.

TJ Hawthorne, running for Minnesota House District 44B, wants to fix this.

He supports making equal parenting time the default unless there’s a clear reason otherwise. This means:

☑️Children get to maintain strong relationships with both parents
☑️Less government interference in family decisions,
☑️Fairer outcomes for families across Minnesota

Strong families are the foundation of a strong Minnesota!

TJ is committed to protecting that foundation and giving parents more say in raising their kids.

Many Minnesotans feel stuck choosing between the same two options every election cycle.

One of the biggest reasons?

Strict ballot access laws that make it extremely difficult for independent and third-party candidates to get on the ballot.

This limits real competition and keeps power concentrated in the two major parties.

Libertarian candidates are ready to change that.

Chip Tangen, running for Minnesota Secretary of State, is focused on election reform. He wants to:

✅Reduce unnecessary barriers so more candidates can qualify

✅Make the process fairer and more transparent

✅Give voters genuine choices instead of the same limited options

When more voices can get on the ballot, voters win and government becomes more accountable.

We believe Minnesotans deserve better than the status quo. Real competition leads to better ideas and better outcomes.
