Minnesotans know what's at stake in the upcoming Aug. 11 primary. They know it will take a proven leader with a record of taking on the Democrats and winning. At the polls and in the arena:

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Ending fraud of our tax dollars begins with competent leadership across every agency.

The Demuth-Wilson administration will only hire the best and brightest professionals to steward over our tax dollars.

Happy Independence Day!

Thank you, Nisswa, for putting on an excellent parade last night. It's more clear than ever, how many Minnesotans love this nation and the freedoms it's afforded us.

My wish for my fellow Minnesotans on this 250th anniversary of our American independence is this – that while we each take time to celebrate our freedoms this weekend, we continue to cherish and protect those freedoms.

God bless Minnesota and God bless the United States of America. 🇺🇲🎆

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Team Demuth is in Duluth! We've put in the work and we're ready to kick start Minnesota's Comeback this weekend!

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Today, we remember our military service members who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage, dedication, and selflessness will never be forgotten.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

This free-for-all, fraud-enabling culture must end. Democrat governors had their opportunity. They failed. It's time for change this November.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Tim Walz and the Democrat trifecta spent an $18 billion surplus, raised taxes by $10 billion and enabled a culture of fraud that stole billions more. Amy Klobuchar endorsed Walz for vice president and then she endorsed him again for a third term as governor. Minnesotans are ready for real change. Klobuchar is just more of the same.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

We're on the ground and running today in Lakeville. CD2 delegates here are so ready to roll up their sleeves and help us end the Walz Era of fraud and stop the Democrats' dangerous socialist agenda. Minnesotans have a choice this fall to enter a new era of common sense, accountability and economic freedom.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Democrats in St. Paul showed us, again, how far they’re willing to go if they ever regain total control of state government.

Their bill to punish cities for flying the "old" flag has no path forward. Not now. Not when I'm governor.

[Ryan Wilson @RyanDWilsonMN]

Team Demuth is showing up strong in CD3 this morning, which is my home district. We have Republicans on the west side of the Twin Cities right here who are excited to help us flip MN red.

[Darren Wolfson @DWolfsonKSTP]

Buckle up! Scott Foster is tonight’s crew chief. There’s this recent absurdness, plus hard to ignore the Gobert $$ gesture from a couple years ago. #Wolves #Twolves #TakeRoot

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

I grew up right here in Minnesota. My mom worked at a bank. My dad drove a bus. The lessons I learned were simple: work hard and be a good person. My mom told me, when you see something that needs to be fixed, you can complain; or you can do something.

That’s why I’m running for governor.

I want our state to be better and stronger than it’s been the last 16 years while Democrats have controlled the executive branch.

Under Tim Walz and Mark Dayton, we've seen our budget double. We’ve seen our taxes skyrocket on working families and small businesses. We’ve had billions of dollars stolen from us -- the taxpayers -- via fraud. It’s time to end the chapter of failed Democrat leadership.

I’m in this fight for my kids and grandkids, for your kids and grandkids -- and for all Minnesotans. This November, Minnesotans have a choice. We can end the fiscal insanity at the Capitol once and for all, and make our state affordable again. That's my promise to you.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

The energy we're feeling from the folks gathered at the CD4 convention in Roseville this morning is infectious. Republicans in the East Metro are fired up to help us flip Minnesota red.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

We've been in this race for just five short months. My running mate, @RyanDWilsonMN, and I have met with many Minnesotans across our state who are energized to see real change at the top. It's clear there is a groundswell of Minnesotans who know Amy Klobuchar would be nothing more than a Walz Third Term. That's why we continue the work. Because we see a stronger, better Minnesota in our future.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Thank you Isanti County Republicans for having me last evening. Winning this November will take a statewide effort. We know folks in Isanti will do their part to help us flip Minnesota red.

[Ryan Wilson @RyanDWilsonMN]

Minnesotans know they are overtaxed. Democrats aren't listening. @LisaDemuthMN is fighting and winning for us now in the legislature. And that's exactly why she'll make an excellent governor.

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

"The trend in graduation rates, which haven’t changed much over the past decade, is sunnier than the state’s standardized test scores, which dropped precipitously after the COVID-19 pandemic led schools to close or offer only virtual classes and have stagnated since then.

"Fewer than half of Minnesota public school students met grade-level expectations on math and reading exams given in May 2025 — 43% in math and 48% in reading."

While it's encouraging to see a steady climb in the number of high school students receiving their diplomas on time, less than half of Minnesota students can read at grade level.

Before I entered the legislature in 2019, I served three terms on my community's (ROCORI) school board. My husband and I raised four children, and now we have seven grandchildren. Ensuring that all of our children are receiving a quality education matters very much to me.

I'm running for governor to ensure we get back to basics and provide the next generation with the core educational resources they need to learn to read (at grade level) so they can read to learn.

We must do better.

@LisaDemuthMN Happy Easter!

[Lisa Demuth @LisaDemuthMN]

Fraudsters being punished for stealing our tax dollars is only part of the equation. Minnesotans need to see the stolen dollars returned.

My colleague, Rep. Andrew Myers, has an important bill that's moving through the House that would increase the number of years the state has to charge for crimes and to claw back money stolen in Medicaid fraud from 6 years to 10 years.

It would be wise for our Democrat colleagues and Gov. Walz to get on board.
