ST. PAUL, MN – Americans for Prosperity Action Minnesota (AFP Action MN) today announced its first 11 primary endorsements for the state legislature – including five non-incumbent challengers – as part of its attempts to break the Democratic Farmer Labor Party’s (DFL) single-party control of the state government.

AFP-MN will mobilize its army of grassroots activists across the state to educate and mobilize voters in support of these outstanding candidates through door knocking, digital ads and mail campaigns.

Jake Coleman, AFP Action MN Senior Advisor, made the following statement: 

“This year we have an exciting opportunity to help elect policy champions who will fight back against the DFL’s tax and spend agenda with policies that will make it easier to live, start a business, and raise a family, and find schools that best meet the needs of your children.

“Minnesotans deserve better than the dysfunction and underhanded tactics used by the DFL at the end of last year’s legislative session to push through an unpopular slate of progressive policies. Once elected, we hope to see these principled leaders restore sanity to the state legislature and hold Governor Tim Walz accountable for his radical agenda.”
