Minnesota lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives applauded Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz\u2019s<\/a> decision to not pursue re-election but doubled down on demands for accountability.<\/p>\n

“Governor Walz’s decision to not seek re-election is the only acceptable outcome after the large-scale fraud that was permitted under his watch,” Rep. Michelle Fischbach, R-Minn., said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fischbach, a member of the powerful House Rules Committee, previously served as lieutenant governor of the North Star State in 2018.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“His career is ending because Walz and the Democrats allowed Minnesota to become a national playground for fraudsters, and his radical negligence has cost Minnesotans billions,” Fischbach said.<\/p>\n

Minnesota first elected Walz as governor in 2018 and then re-elected him in 2022. Walz ran briefly for the White House as a part of Vice President Kamala Harris\u2019 ticket in 2024, but, after he was unsuccessful, announced plans to pursue a third term as governor.<\/p>\n

His decision to drop out of that race comes as new revelations\u00a0about fraud in Minnesota show the state could have lost as much as $9 billion<\/a> under Walz\u2019s leadership through abuse of its government assistance programs.<\/p>\n

In recent months, investigators have discovered sweeping fraud schemes masquerading as\u00a0daycare centers,<\/a> medical providers, food assistance programs and more. By fabricating services or misrepresenting the number of people they claimed to serve, the schemes siphoned billions in government funds.<\/p>\n

Walz\u2019s current term ends in January 2027. Rep. Pete Stauber, R-Minn., believes it should end sooner.<\/p>\n

“Governor Walz’s decision not to seek re-election doesn’t let him off the hook,” Stauber said. “Minnesotans deserve to see full accountability. Under Tim Walz\u2019s leadership, at least $9 billion was stolen from taxpayers by fraudsters, the state\u2019s $18 billion surplus was squandered, taxes were increased by $10 billion and illegal immigrants were given free college, health care and driver\u2019s licenses.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If Walz is unfit to seek re-election, he is unfit to serve as governor. The news this morning should have been \u2018Tim Walz resigns,\u2019” Stauber added.<\/p>\n

COMER WARNS WALZ ABSENCE AT MINNESOTA FRAUD HEARING WOULD BE ‘ADMISSION TO GUILT’ BY GOVERNOR<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

With an eye toward the future, Rep. Brad Finstad, R-Minn., lamented that the fraud rings in Minnesota would take time to unwind and that the state would have a long road ahead toward healing.<\/p>\n

“Unfortunately, it will take years to undo the damage he has done to the state of Minnesota. The next Governor of Minnesota will have a massive task ahead of them to root out systemic waste, fraud and abuse. I am committed to working with my fellow Minnesotans to ensure we elect a Republican governor who will restore trust in state government and the reputation of our great state,” Finstad said in a post to X.<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite Walz\u2019s announcement, Fischbach said that Republican efforts to investigate fraud and abuse in Minnesota would continue.<\/p>\n

“The era of looking the other way is over. Minnesota Democrats: Take note. We are coming for accountability and will continue to investigate until every stolen dollar is accounted for,” Fischbach said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
