ST.PAUL, Minn. – An election will be held Saturday to determine who will be the chairperson of the Minnesota Republican Party. It has been a contentious campaign.
Incumbent Jennifer Carnahan is facing State Senator Mark Koran of North Branch. Carnahan and Koran are actually pretty close together on the issues. Both are strong Trump supporters, neither argues against claims of a rigged election, and both are critical of Democratic Governor Tim Walz’s response to the coronavirus pandemic.
Koran accused Carnahan of a lack of financial oversight and using party resources to help her win re-election. Carnahan has questioned the challenger’s integrity and argues it’s a conflict for a politician currently in public office to also lead the state party.
