Minnesota Governor Candidate Lisa Demuth Speaks on Fraud, Mining and Her Pitch to Moderates
Her plan would replace DHS leaders, modernize fraud detection and seek legislative authority to recover stolen funds and unfreeze disability payments.
- On Tuesday, Republican candidate Lisa Demuth proposed a 'fraud roadmap' to overhaul Minnesota's Department of Human Services, promising to replace agency leadership and impose stricter penalties for stealing public funds.
- Unfreezing federal disability funds, imposing lifetime social service bans on convicted fraudsters, and prohibiting transfers of public-program dollars to foreign countries form key features of Demuth's plan to combat what she described as a 'culture of fraud.'
- Ryan Wilson, Demuth's running mate for lieutenant governor, emphasized that bipartisan legislative cooperation is essential to seize assets from convicted thieves, noting that too little stolen money currently returns to the state.
- DFL Party Chair Richard Carlbom criticized the proposal, calling Demuth's plan 'empty political rhetoric' and stating the Attorney who prosecuted Feeding Our Future supports DFL candidate Amy Klobuchar's fraud prevention strategy instead.
- Beyond fraud, Demuth criticized Governor Tim Walz's environmental order halting mining near the Boundary Waters, arguing Minnesota should lead in safe mineral production for critical technologies the nation depends on.
