"This is Sunshine Week, a nationwide campaign designed to remind all Americans that government works best when it works in sunlight. ... And sure as we’re writing this, dark places exist."
From the editorial: "We've seen enough from Tim Walz to know that we don't trust his instincts. ... We have no doubt that Scott Jensen has learned from the mistakes of Minnesota's current governor and will not repeat them."
Republican Schultz's campaign focus has been public safety, economic prosperity, the Constitution and consumer protection. He continually promises to address the state’s violent crime trend by expanding the Attorney General Office’s criminal division. He also has the endorsement of nearly two dozen county sheriffs and the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association.
