Meet your choices for State Representative:

Aaron
Paul

Brad
Tabke

Addressing the skyrocketing cost of living

Brad Tabke is focused on helping working families keep more of their hard-earned money by fighting against corporate greed. He voted to crack down on price gouging, cap prescription drug prices, and will work to ban surveillance pricing where companies use customers’ personal data to charge different prices for the same products.

Brad Tabke knows greedy corporations are to blame for many rising costs, and as our State Representative will be focused on holding those corporations accountable to ensure Minnesotans can afford the basics we rely on– like food, energy, and housing. He will work to make it easier to buy a home you can afford, and is committed to addressing skyrocketing home insurance costs and rising property taxes.

Aaron Paul would join those who caved to pressure from pharmaceutical industry lobbyists, opposing capping costs on common, life-saving prescription drugs (1), forcing local hospitals to pay more for medicine (2), and forcing thousands of Minnesotans off of their health insurance. (3)

And Aaron Paul is running on a platform that calls for tax breaks for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations, which could drive up local taxes and costs for working families. His party platform also calls for creating massive new sales taxes on everything we buy, including groceries, clothing, and prescription drugs. Their new sales taxes would be used to cut taxes for the wealthy and big corporations, shifting the burden to the rest of us. (4)

Fighting back against Federal overreach and costly tariffs

Brad Tabke worked to put an end to Operation Metro Surge, voting to prohibit ICE officers from wearing face coverings, preventing their entrance into schools and daycares without a warrant, and allowing Minnesotans to sue ICE for violating their civil rights. (5)

He will continue working to safeguard Minnesota from federal overreach–protecting Minnesotans’ access to healthcare, right to vote, and ability to make ends meet without the continuing costs associated with Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran.

Aaron Paul would be a rubber stamp for Trump’s agenda and would join those who voted to give Minnesotans' personal voter data to the Trump administration and bring Trump's Medicaid cuts to Minnesota, which could take health insurance away from 140,000 seniors and people with disabilities. (6, 7, 8)

After Trump sent ICE agents to target Minnesotans, Aaron Paul stayed silent. He would join those who voted to let ICE agents enter our schools without a warrant and traumatize children, and who blocked legislation that would have protected daycares and hospitals from unconstitutional ICE raids, banned ICE agents from hiding their identities with masks, and let Minnesotans sue ICE for violations of their civil rights.

Safeguarding women’s access to healthcare and human rights

Brad Tabke has been a champion for women’s healthcare and protecting human rights for all Minnesotans. He’ll continue advocating for the rights of Minnesotans to make their own medical decisions along with their doctor.

Aaron Paul is running to join a group of extremists in the state house who want to ban abortion and other reproductive healthcare for women and pass legislation that targets and discriminates against LGBTQ people. In fact, Paul’s party supports banning abortion without exceptions for rape, incest, or risk to the life of the mother. (10)

Protecting Minnesotans from secret, unregulated AI data center projects

Brad Tabke is working to prevent shady non-disclosure agreements that keep communities in the dark. (11, 12) He’ll continue fighting to protect our neighborhoods and natural resources from AI exploitation.

Aaron Paul would join those who supported hundreds of millions of dollars in tax giveaways to bring AI data centers to Minnesota–despite residents’ concerns about the impact they could have on our utility rates and water. (13)
