Leader Niska Statement on Walz Declining to Run for Third Term

House Republican Floor Leader Harry Niska, R-Ramsey, issued the following statement today reacting to news that Governor Walz will no longer seek a third term as governor. 

“Minnesota’s fraud epidemic extends well beyond any one individual. It is the result of nearly two decades of Democrat governors, backed by their legislative allies, creating a culture of complacency that has cost Minnesotans and their families billions of dollars.

“Swapping out one failed Democrat for another will not fix the broken system they built. Fixing fraud requires a full housecleaning, not simply a new face running the same machine that has already lost billions.”
