"A Precarious State" Documentary
This is an eye-opening look at the conditions of Minneapolis that are affecting the entire state of Minnesota, and not in a good way. Policies like defunding the police, and a Hennepin County Attorney who has created a revolving door for crime, have led to business owners fleeing not only Minneapolis, but also the state. And when the job creators leave, they take jobs with them. Former City Council Member Don Samuels said, “One of the things that … people do not examine is the role of business in the prosperity of a region, and the availability of jobs … and so business has become sort of an enemy.”
In Case You Missed It!
Minneapolis Republican Party Chair, Diane Napper, was featured on Newsmax Friday morning, July 18, 2025, to talk about Democrat Socialists of America (DSA) candidate Omar Fateh and the city’s mayoral race. Diane discussed how the local media keeps Minneapolitans from seeing how far left the Democrats have become and how dangerous socialist policies are to the city.
And while the DSA candidate was not elected mayor, many DSA candidates were re-elected to the City Council.
On Friday, April 12, 2024, Minneapolis Republican Party (MRP) Chair Shawn Holster appeared on the Garage Logic podcast with Joe Soucheray. He discussed what he calls the “managed decline” of Minneapolis, and how the MRP plans to combat it.

We are a citywide organization comprised of Senate Districts 59, 60, 61, 62 and 63, and the former Minneapolis City Republican Committee (MCRC).
On March 25, 2023, the five Minneapolis Republican senate district organizations voted unanimously to disband and become one citywide organization. This monumental task, envisioned over a decade ago, began to take form with us successfully amending the state party constitution at the 2022 State Convention. Subsequently, CD5 disbanded MCRC, the subcommittee that managed Minneapolis municipal elections. The unification of these six organizations brings a focus we’ve never had.
For the first time in generations, the city of Minneapolis has a single gathering place for those who want to protect their homes, families and livelihoods from the destructive consequences brought on by the DFL. We are unique by design, created by local Minneapolis volunteers. This new Minneapolis Republican Party can be your voice and the beginning of our city’s recovery.
