[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

YESTERDAY I sent a letter to Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison asking the questions nobody in DFL leadership will. Whistleblowers were ignored. The fraud kept growing. Minnesotans deserve to know why. #madgettformn FULL LETTER HERE.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

100,000+ Democratic voters just weighed in.

We started in late May with almost no budget and zero party insiders—and still earned 3X the vote of the next DFL candidate for governor, behind only Klobuchar.

I think we have the party’s attention now.

The movement has started.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Please vote today! 🇺🇸

Primaries matter. They give voters a real opportunity to push back against the two-party extremism that divides this country.

Our government should work for Americans—not political parties.

Show up. Make your voice heard. Vote. 🇺🇸

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Most fraud never gets prosecuted. Not because it's hard to find. Because nobody makes it a priority. I'll make it the priority. That's the reason I'm running for Attorney General. VOTE AUGUST 11. #madgettformn

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Ellison's approval just hit -3. Underwater for the first time this campaign. He was +10 in December. Minnesotans are done watching the AG's office chase headlines while fraud went unchecked. This primary is closer than people think. Primary Aug 11th!

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Ellison brags about 300+ Medicaid fraud convictions. What he leaves out: almost 80% of those cases get reduced or dropped after probation. Counting convictions that don’t stick isn’t accountability. Minnesota deserves better. Vote for Madgett Aug 11 primary.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Somebody attacked the water systems of 30+ Minnesota towns.

Our Attorney General's response was to argue with the President about blame.

Mine would be to find out who left those systems open and hold them to Minnesota law.

@libsoftiktok I knew I should have installed an eyewash station in my office. Every called me crazy but....

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

@stonedogz1 @bennyjohnson There are decent dems. Agreed, the party machine is about as corrupt as it gets, but there are those of us who can and will engage in productive debate to make America stronger.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

@bennyjohnson Keith's repeated line "Come on guys" - Now come on Keith - lets have an independent investigation of what you knew regarding the fraud. Voters deserve answers.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

I’m challenging Keith Ellison and the DFL establishment because Minnesotans are being sold a false choice: either you’re for shooting every ICE protester or for pardoning child molesters. Most of us are neither. I’m running to give the silent center a voice and build a DFL willing to work with reasonable Republicans to solve real problems.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

If Ellison is the DFL MN Attorney General candidate in November, the Republican candidate will win. Vote Madgett for MN AG in the primaries. August 11.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Vote in the Minnesota primaries! August 11.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

@CrimeWatchMpls Taken out of context, it was in reference to a few things Ellison's office did that any AG should do, like the insulin pricing settlement. Ellison has to go. The fraud and the pardon of a sex offender? Not on my watch.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Minnesota has real fraud happening right now: Feeding Our Future, consumer scams, wage theft, Medicaid fraud. That’s what the Attorney General should be focused on. Not a Hollywood merger. Minnesotans deserve an AG protecting them from the fraud in their own state. #madgettformnag

[Keith Ellison @keithellison]

Coming soon to a theater near you: higher prices, fewer choices, and a handful of corporations controlling even more of what you watch.

No thanks. My fellow AGs and I are suing to stop the $110B Warner Bros./Paramount merger.

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

As a DFL candidate for Minnesota AG, I got uninvited from a local fundraiser last week. I think the establishment is afraid of me. They don’t want to hear any new ideas. #madgettformnag

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

I recently sat down with KTTC News to discuss why I’m running for Minnesota AG, the need for independent leadership, consumer protection, government accountability, and restoring public trust in the Attorney General’s Office.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham. He served our country with conviction as an Air Force JAG officer, a U.S. senator, and a tireless advocate for the causes he believed in. Fellow JAG officers don’t come along every day. Rest in peace, Senator.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: US Senator Lindsey Graham has died after a brief and unexpected illness, his office says in a statement. https://t.co/3TweBVj5NB

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

Keith Ellison is out of touch. What is he even talking about? MN needs an attorney general with common sense. Vote #madgettformnag Aug 11

Minnesota AG Keith Ellison: "Cisgender heterosexual people like myself use gender affirming care every day and all the time."

Minnesota gives California a run for its money for state with the most out-of-touch, radical "leaders"...

[David Madgett @MadgettDavid]

A Democrat wrote this, not a Republican. Keith Ellison voted to pardon a man who raped a 10-year-old — and some in my own party are calling it “compassion.” It’s not. It’s a disgrace, and Minnesota deserves an AG who won’t excuse it. #MadgettForMNAG

VOTE! DFL Primary is Aug. 11. Vote Madgett in the primary for MN attorney general. If I don't win, November's options will be Keith Ellison, who let fraud run rampant in our state, or the Republican nominee. #madgettformn
