Hello, friends and fellow Minnesotans. I’m Mike Lindell, the Inventor of MyPillow, a proud Christian, a businessman, and a lifelong Minnesotan running for Governor. I built my company from a simple idea into a success story that employs hardworking people right here in our state. But today, too many Minnesota families are struggling. Taxes are skyrocketing, schools are failing our kids, crime is up in our cities, farmers are squeezed, and common-sense values feel under attack. Independents and even some lifelong Democrats tell me the state is going in the wrong direction after years of one-party rule. I’m running against the establishment politics that have left rural communities behind, burdened working families, and eroded public trust. I believe in faith, family, hard work, and strong stewardship of the land God gave us. My plans focus on practical solutions that grow our economy, protect our freedoms, secure our future, and unite Minnesotans. We can restore the Minnesota Dream—good jobs, safe streets, strong schools, and affordable living—for every corner of our state. Below are my detailed plans on the key issues that will appeal to everyone that wants real change.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota jobs plan puts small businesses, manufacturing, and higher‑paying careers for workers and families at the center of the state’s economy.
Mike Lindell knows the economy runs on real people—Moms juggling schedules, business owners signing paychecks, professors shaping the next generation, urban church leaders holding communities together, young workers chasing a first big opportunity, and farmers betting everything on the next season. He built a national brand from a Minnesota factory floor, so when he sees bureaucracy slowing everything down, his instinct is to fix it fast and clear the way. As governor, he will throw Minnesota’s doors wide open for business with faster permits, simpler rules, and a clear path to hire, build, and grow in every part of the state.
He will lean in for Minnesota’s shop floors, start‑ups, family farms, college grads, and main‑street businesses with a relentless “Buy Minnesota” push that keeps jobs, innovation, and paychecks here instead of drifting to the coasts or overseas. By teaming up with technical colleges, universities, trade schools, and employers, Mike will connect young people and mid‑career workers directly into high‑demand careers in construction, skilled trades, healthcare, logistics, and technology.
His bottom line is simple and strong: more jobs, bigger paychecks, and a Minnesota so full of opportunity that families, graduates, and business leaders don’t look for a way out—they see their future being built right here at home.
Minnesota’s economy should work for everyone, from factory workers and small business owners to entrepreneurs and families. Under current leadership, inflation, regulations, and high costs have driven up prices for groceries, gas, and housing while pushing businesses to look elsewhere. As a successful entrepreneur, I know firsthand that government overreach kills jobs. My plan starts with cutting red tape and making Minnesota businessfriendly again. I will enact targeted tax relief for small businesses and manufacturers, especially in Greater Minnesota, to encourage expansion and hiring. We’ll invest in workforce training programs that partner with local technical colleges and companies to fill high-demand jobs in manufacturing, healthcare technology, and trades. I’ll also promote “Buy Minnesota” initiatives to support local products and reduce reliance on out-of-state supply chains. These steps will create thousands of good-paying jobs and bring economic opportunities back to every region. The result will be stronger families, revitalized cities and towns, and a state where young people stay instead of leaving for lower-tax states. If you currently feel the pinch at the grocery store and gas pump will see real relief, because of our pro-growth policies rooted in free enterprise and personal responsibility. Together, we’ll make Minnesota the economic powerhouse it was meant to be.
This is Mike Lindell’s plan for Minnesota farmers, ranchers, and Greater Minnesota to thrive again.
Mike Lindell sees Minnesota’s farmers and Greater Minnesota as the beating heart of the state—men and women who gamble every season on weather, markets, and policy and still get up before sunrise to do it again. He will stand with them, not over them, taking on the rules and mandates from St. Paul that make it harder to farm, ranch, and run a small‑town business.
As governor, Mike will push to cut the regulatory clutter that buries family operations, expand rural broadband so precision agriculture and online markets actually work out in Greater Minnesota and back value‑added agriculture like ethanol, biofuels, and processing that keep more dollars on the farm and in the local café. He will fight for fair trade that opens doors for Minnesota products while guarding farmers from being undercut by unfair foreign competition, and he will insist disaster assistance reaches the barn, not just the bureaucracy.
His vision is simple: Greater Minnesota with solid roads and infrastructure, family farms that can be passed to the next generation, and common sense policies that respect the faith, stewardship, and hard work that have held these communities together for generations.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota energy and environment plan protects lakes and land while expanding homegrown energy, mining jobs, and reliable, affordable power.
Mike Lindell knows Minnesotans love their lakes, forests, and farmland because we live, work, and raise families in them—not because of a slogan in a marketing room.
He is committed to real stewardship that keeps water clean, forests healthy, and fields productive without crushing families and jobs under extreme climate agendas that ignore Minnesota’s realities and basic common sense.
His approach is all about balance and homegrown strength: expand bio-fuels from Minnesota corn and soybeans, responsibly develop iron ore and minerals on the Iron Range, and promote advanced nuclear and natural gas to deliver steady, reliable power when the thermometer dives. He will protect treasures like the Boundary Waters and Great Lakes with practical conservation with local input, not blanket shutdowns that wipe out livelihoods.
Done right, this strategy means more jobs in energy and mining, lower utility bills for families and small businesses, and a state that hands its natural heritage to the next generation in better shape—without telling working Minnesotans they are the problem.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota health care plan focuses on medical freedom, lower costs, more choices, and better mental health and addiction treatment.
Mike Lindell believes health care should be personal and local, not like you’re fighting a maze of call centers and codes just to see a doctor. He knows from running a business that when competition is real and prices are clear, families win and costs come down.
As governor, he will push for more transparency so patients can actually see what care costs before they get the bill, and for more flexible tools like health savings options and cross‑state insurance choices so families, seniors, and employers have more ways to find coverage that fits. He will lean into partnerships with hospitals, clinics, and faith‑based and community groups to tackle mental health and addiction—especially opioids—so people aren’t left alone when they hit their hardest moments.
The goal is straightforward: more choices, less red tape, and a system where moms, business owners, students, and retirees feel like valued patients—not case numbers.
Mike Lindell lays out his Minnesota election integrity and public safety plan so every legal vote counts and every family feels safe.
Mike Lindell believes national security starts where Minnesotans actually live—with safe communities, secure borders, and elections people can trust. He has spent years calling out vulnerabilities in election platforms and pushing for reforms that put the people—not machines and consultants—back in charge.
As governor, Mike will back strong voter‑ID laws, paper ballots, common‑sense safeguards on same‑day registration, and full election transparancy that give every Minnesotan confidence their vote was counted and counted honestly. He will support troops, veterans, and first responders, and make sure Minnesota cooperates with federal efforts to secure the border and disrupt threats that reach our streets, from drugs to organized crime.
For moms worried about their kids’ future, business owners planning years ahead, and young voters questioning whether the system is rigged, Mike’s message is clear: your safety and your vote are non‑negotiable.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota veterans plan delivers faster benefits, better jobs, and strong support for servicemembers and their families.
Mike Lindell believes when someone wears the uniform, the state should have their back long after the deployment ends. He knows too many veterans and military families are forced to wrestle with paperwork, delays, and confusion just to get the support they earned.
As governor, Mike will streamline state veterans’ services so help is easier to find and faster to receive, expand job training and hiring preferences that plug veterans into good careers, and partner with businesses that value the discipline and leadership they bring. He will also support mental health care tailored to the unique pressures of service, including options that involve faith‑based counseling and community support where veterans actually live.
His focus is to turn “thank you for your service” into concrete results for veterans, Guard members, reservists, and their families—from housing and health care to jobs and community.
Mike Lindell’s plan to fight Minnesota government fraud and waste restores public trust and enforces the rule of law equally.
Mike Lindell has made it clear: the days of looking the other way on government waste and scandal have to end. From huge fraud cases to smaller program abuses, he sees a pattern—taxpayers pay, insiders skate, and trust erodes.
As governor, Mike will push for tough, independent audits of state spending, crack down on welfare and program fraud, and demand transparency in contracts so Minnesotans can see where their money goes. He will defend whistleblowers who speak up and insist that the rule of law applies to everyone—politicians, bureaucrats, and connected insiders included.
The result, he’s fighting for is a government that feels honest again, where families, business owners, and local leaders can believe the system is working for them, not milking them
Mike Lindell’s elimination of the in-person retail sales tax plan is designed help families reduce their tax burden immediately. And it will bring shoppers and spur growth and jobs on main street.
Mike Lindell’s tax plan will cut Minnesota taxes, fees, and property bills so working families, small businesses, farmers, and retirees can keep more of what they earn. He hears the same story from parents, shop owners, and young workers across Minnesota: everything feels more expensive, and the government keeps finding new ways to take a slice—even in a state already known for high costs.
Mike Lindell’s property tax plan is designed to be more fair and will actually bring down taxes.
Mike will move to put real brakes on runaway property tax hikes by limiting annual increases, providing direct relief for seniors, veterans, and family farms, and shifting more of the education burden to the state so local boards aren’t pressured to keep raising levies.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota education plan expands school choice, strengthens basics like reading and math, and puts parents back in charge
Mike Lindell believes every child in Minnesota—no matter their ZIP code—deserves a school that teaches them to read, think, and lead a good life. With math and reading proficiency stuck far too low and gaps that never seem to close, he knows the current system is failing too many kids.
As governor, Mike will fight to expand real school choice and flexible education accounts so parents can pick what works best for their child—public, charter, private, online, or homeschool—without being trapped by their address. He will refocus classrooms on the basics: reading, math, history, and civics, while backing teachers who want to teach and giving parents clear transparency and rights on curriculum, materials, and school policies.
His measure of success is simple: more kids on grade level, fewer parents feeling shut out, and schools that prepare students for college, trades, or service—not politics
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota crime and public safety plan backs law enforcement, targets traffickers, and supports cooperation with ICE.
Mike Lindell believes safe streets are not a luxury—they’re the basic promise the government owes every family, in every neighborhood. He has watched crime, drug trafficking, and human trafficking spread under policies that tie officers’ hands and look the other way on illegal immigration.
As governor, Mike will fully support law enforcement with training, tools, and clear backing so good officers can do their jobs and bad actors face consequences. He will support cooperation with federal immigration authorities to ensure that criminals here illegally are identified and removed, instead of being released back into Minnesota communities.
For suburban parents, urban pastors, business owners, and rural residents, the message is the same: you should not have to live in fear, and your government should be firmly on the side of those who follow the law.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota immigration plan opposes sanctuary policies, supports border security, and protects resources for citizens and legal residents.
Mike Lindell believes legal immigration, done right, strengthens the country—but chaos at the border and in our cities with look‑the‑other‑way policies weaken trust and strain communities. He hears concerns from Minnesotans about costs, crime, and pressure on schools and services when the system is abused.
As governor, Mike will oppose sanctuary policies, back strong border security, and support enforcement that removes criminals and fraud from the system while respecting those who follow the rules and work hard. He will work with federal partners to crack down on abuse in refugee and benefit programs so scarce resources go to citizens and legal residents as intended.
Mike also supports legal green card and visa holders and hope they apply for citizenship to join our community fully.
His North Star is the rule of law and fairness—so that families playing by the rules don’t feel abandoned, and communities see stability instead of constant strain.
Mike Lindell’s pro‑family Minnesota agenda strengthens families, supports mothers and children, and protects the most vulnerable.
Mike Lindell’s platform is built around strong families—moms, dads, grandparents, and guardians doing everything they can to give kids a better shot than they had. He believes a healthy state backs them up, especially when life takes unexpected turns.
As governor, he will support programs and partnerships that walk alongside women in difficult pregnancies, expand adoption paths, and strengthen community and church‑based help so no mother feels like she has to face it alone. He will encourage policies that make it easier to marry, raise children, and care for aging parents, from better job opportunities to more stable, safe neighborhoods.
At the core is a conviction that every child has value, every stage of life matters, and Minnesota should be known as a place that protects and lifts up the most vulnerable.
Mike Lindell’s Minnesota self‑defense plan defends responsible gun owners while cracking down hard on violent criminals.
Mike Lindell believes families, single moms, seniors, and small business owners have a fundamental right to protect themselves and the people they love. He rejects the idea that responsible citizens should be treated like criminals while violent offenders get a revolving door.
As governor, he will focus on enforcing the laws we already have against those who use weapons to commit crimes, traffic guns, or terrorize neighborhoods, while defending the rights of law‑abiding Minnesotans who hunt, shoot for sport, or choose to defend their homes.
He will push for tougher consequences for violent crime and real follow‑through in the courts so communities see fewer headlines and more justice.
The principle is straightforward: go after criminals, not constitutional rights—so good people in every part of Minnesota can feel safe and secure where they live and work.
