"The definition of insanity is just keep doing the same old thing and expecting a different result," said Republican governor candidate Scott Jensen during a break from politicking outside of his booth at the Minnesota State Fair. "I think we need to run a candidate that doesn't like politics."
The one-term state senator and family physician from Chaska has been campaigning for months and putting his medical credentials — not his political experience — front and center. He said he's approaching $1 million raised since March and he's gained traction with the conservative base over his messaging against COVID-19 restrictions, mask and vaccine mandates and concerns about vaccinations for children 12 to 15 years old.
He thinks his position on vaccines has prompted the state's medical board to take another look at his license, and his statements on COVID-19 have gotten him banned from Facebook advertising and kicked off the social media platform TikTok — twice.
"We're broken," Jensen said. "You can quibble about the politics, but this COVID thing has fractured our neighborhoods, our churches, our businesses, our communities."
Neil Shah, a dermatologist from North Oaks and Republican candidate for governor, is also focusing his message so far against COVID-19 restrictions and said he's had threats of losing federal funding at his practice for not requiring vaccines for staff. Both Jensen and Shah appeared in August at a "medical freedom" rally against mask mandates and vaccine requirements that drew roughly 2,000 people to the Capitol.

What does Walter M. say?
Good luck. They have an amazing cheat the vote mechanism. It’s somehow invisible, even though it’s right out in plane view.
Yes, it’s going to be hard, to get past election fraud.
Why not run as a far left Democrat and then change parties after winning???
Lolz. Better a DINO than a RINO, anyways.
LOL. No FR thread about elections is complete until the Trolls of Despair come on to pronounce the Republicans will inevitably lose and it’s no use voting. It’s now become so predictable here as to be cartoonish.
Pessimism and talk of conspiracies are great, but still gotta go to the voting booths, still gotta cut the checks, still gotta hit the primaries and the rallies.
Just like griping on the way to work in the morning... and like returning to work after scanning help wanted ads during lunch hour.
Indeed. Many of these are paid Soros hacks whose sole purpose is to attempt to discourage others from voting.
What do the corrupt Twin Cities’ democrat bosses say? You know, the same ones who delivered the state to Biden. They’re all still there. Even if new laws are passed, they’ll break them too. Why on earth wouldn’t they steal any state wide election? In 2020 they were laughably ham handed in their fraud. There was evidence for multiple federal felony convictions for everyone involved, which means all of them. They are all still there.
Minnesotans elected Jessie Ventura their governor some years back. Jessie talked a conservative, low tax line when he ran.
It was only 6 months in office when he went nuts and threatened to kill a reporter from the Star Tribune...
If he doesn't like politics then what is he doing in it?
Ditto.
It’ll depend on what Dominion desires...
...
Jesse also got us a refund check to reduce the state budget surplus (our money), lowered auto registration fees, and lowered taxes on recreational property (summer cabins).
Say what you will, but he was a conservative governor, the likes of which we haven’t seen since.
I remember getting a check from Gov Turnbuckle. When we lived in the North Star.
