MN-GOV: House Speaker Lisa Demuth launches Republican bid for Minnesota governor

[RandySF]

Lisa Demuth, the highest-ranking Republican at Minnesota’s Capitol, set her sights Sunday on a higher office by declaring herself a candidate for governor.

House Speaker Lisa Demuth marked her entrance with a campaign video in which she said she would strive to make Minnesota a place where families and businesses can thrive. She joins a crowded field of Republicans aiming to take on Democratic Gov. Tim Walz and in that video says she and other Minnesotans have had enough.

Monday marks one year from the 2026 election. Walz is seeking an unprecedented third consecutive, four-year term. To make November’s ballot, Demuth will first have to navigate a Republican Party endorsing convention next May and possibly a primary in August.

Ahead of her formal launch, Demuth predicted in an interview with MPR News that Minnesota was ready for new leadership after what will be eight years under Walz.

1. Let me fix this for you, Miss Speaker.

House Speaker Lisa Demuth marked her entrance with a campaign video in which she said she would strive to make Minnesota a place where white families and white businesses can thrive.

(Which they are... like gangbusters... they just don't want to share one cent of the income they are making. Like Smaug said,



And, they have no plans to ever part with any of it.)

There. Clarity is important, Miss Speaker.

2. Surprisingly, Lisa Demuth is a person of color.

She only became speaker because Melissa Hortman was a kind and generous person who let her have the position because of the tie. Of course, Demuth tried to screw over the democrats over an election challenge.
Don’t ever trust a republican.

3. Wow. I missed that, I guess.

I even read the article and did not see that sentence.

Ooops, my bad.
