RNR Minnesota GOP Primary (August 9) Voter Guide

Statewide:

Governor: Scott Jensen

• RNR recommends Scott Jensen as there is no other viable candidate in this race and he has been declared the presumptive nominee.

Secretary of State: Kim Crockett

Auditor: Primary canceled

• The primary was canceled as there was only one Republican candidate running.

Congressional districts:

1st congressional district: Jeremy Munson

• RNR has endorsed Jeremy Munson, given his close second place result in May’s special election primary and his support for America First, anti-establishment policies.

2nd congressional district: Primary canceled

• The primary was canceled as there was only one Republican candidate running.

3rd congressional district: Primary canceled

• The primary was canceled as there was only one Republican candidate running.

4th congressional district: May Lor Xiong

• RNR recommends May Lor Xiong as she is the only candidate actively campaigning in this safe Democrat district.

5th congressional district: Cicely Davis

• RNR recommends Cicely Davis as the strongest fundraising candidate in this safe Democrat district.

6th congressional district: Primary canceled

• The primary was canceled as there was only one Republican candidate running.

7th congressional district: Unopposed

• There is only one Republican candidate running in this primary after her only challenger dropped out.

8th congressional district: No recommendation

• RNR does not recommend any candidate. We are disappointed with incumbent Rep. Pete Stauber’s poor voting record and support for certifying the rigged 2020 presidential election. However, his only challenger, Harry Welty, is a left-wing progressive with extreme anti-Trump views who has chosen to run as a Republican. Welty is not a serious or viable candidate, so there is not much need to vote for Stauber purely to keep him out.
