Dozens of primary election battles are underway for Minnesota legislative seats.
On Aug. 9, voters will decide 25 intraparty contests for the state Senate and 19 for the House.
Most of the contested races are between Republicans, and in some of them a relatively new group called Action 4 Liberty is playing a big role in challenging incumbents from the right.
Republican Eric Pratt of Prior Lake has served three terms in the Minnesota Senate and chairs the Jobs and Economic Growth Finance and Policy committee. Pratt’s reelection bid suffered a setback earlier this year when he lost the GOP endorsement to Natalie Barnes in District 54.
“I absolutely think I’d be an amazing senator. I have what it takes,” said Barnes, a nurse and first-time candidate from Prior Lake who has the backing of Action 4 Liberty. She calls Pratt a career politician and believes people want a change.
“He has grown the size and scope of the government and is delivering scraps to conservatives, and I believe we are aware of that,” Barnes said of Pratt. “I firmly believe that all elected officials have to be public servants accountable to the people, and he has regrettably been beholden to special interest groups and lobbyists.”
Pratt said he expects a close primary contest but is optimistic about his chances and that turnout will be the key. Pratt said he believes the involvement of Action 4 Liberty cost him the Republican endorsement.

I would think the GOP endorsement is a negative these days.
Who does Trump endorse?
That is the only thing that matters this time.
ESPECIALLY if he disagrees with the ‘GOP endorsement’
Her wording is perfect- The other guy “supported the big government agenda while delivering scraps to his conservative base” <— that is a perfect description of the entire deep state GOP.
We are cleaning out the Rhino infection this year.
I don’t think they would want it, it not Crazy enough for them, yet...🤓
