“There’s no need to say Minnesota is at a crossroads,” Qualls said in a statement. “Tim Waltz has gone further down the path of lost jobs, escapes, crime and crater education. Now he’s spending more time outside the state on vanity tours than he’s trying to advance Minnesota. That’s not leadership.”
Qualls explained that Minnesotan wants to build an economy, feel safe in the community and improve education, but “we don’t intend to get these changes from Tim Waltz.”
“The only candidates that can help Minnesota meet that potential. If we’re going to fix the budget that Tim Waltz defeats, we need a proven leader. Real-world business experience. If we are trying to get back the streets and classrooms, we need candidates with a conservative backbone and legal and order qualifications,” Qualls says.
Qualls said the only way Minnesotans can create the change they want is to bring in political outsiders like himself.
