Overview
- The Minnesota governor unveiled the federal committee Monday to recruit teachers, nurses, veterans, laborers, and young locals to run in small towns.
- In announcing the effort, he told Politico that Republicans like Vice President JD Vance are the problem facing small towns.
- Vance’s office replied that Walz gives small towns’ money to fraudulent daycares in Minnesota.
- Vance was tapped by President Donald Trump to lead a federal anti-fraud push that has focused attention on Minnesota welfare and childcare programs.
- Walz ended his 2026 re-election bid and said he would never run again, and the PAC now serves as his vehicle for influence as House Oversight leaders accuse him and Minnesota’s attorney general of knowing about widespread fraud and punishing whistleblowers.
