From Fox News: Former Minnesota state Sen. Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican who lost the state’s 2022 gubernatorial contest to incumbent Gov. Tim Walz, has announced another bid for the governorship.
“Two decades of liberal policies have made Minnesota too expensive, too dangerous, and thrown our culture outta whack. Tim Walz made it worse. A leader must take responsibility. Tim Walz didn’t. And so he shouldn’t be governor,” Jensen said in a campaign video posted on Thursday.
Then-former President Donald Trump endorsed Jensen before the Minnesotan lost in the 2022 gubernatorial contest.
Minnesota does not have term limits for governors, so Walz, who is currently serving his second term as governor, could run again if he chooses.
However, Jensen is on a mission to flip the leadership seat back to Republican.

In a post on Truth Social in October 2022, Trump had written, “Minnesota finally has a chance to have a great Governor. His name is Dr. Scott Jensen, the Republican Gubernatorial Candidate, and he will bring Minnesota back from the brink. Strong on both fighting Crime and delivering Solid and Sensible Education, the results will be quickly seen – and there won’t be any more fiery takeovers of police precincts. Minnesota will be Great Again. Dr. Scott Jensen has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”
