In this episode, Republican Party of Minnesota Executive Director Anna Mathews engages with guests Dahlia al-Aqidi and Tad Jude, Republican congressional candidates in Minnesota.

Dahlia, who is challenging Ilhan Omar in the 5th District, discusses her vision for inclusivity and public safety and her opposition to Omar’s policies, which she argues have damaged the community, especially in areas like crime and police funding.

Tad Jude, competing for the seat vacated by Dean Phillips in the 3rd District, emphasizes his plan to make Minnesota more affordable by cutting taxes and reducing government spending.

Both candidates criticize their opponents for aligning too closely with Democrats’ progressive agendas. They highlight key issues like education, cost of living, and public safety as central to their platforms. The episode ends with a call for financial support and voter participation in the upcoming elections.
