2026 Endorsements

Minnesota Right to Life

Rep Drew Roach (R) HD 58B
Minnesota Freedom Caucus Member

"Right now, we are in a bare-knuckle fight for the future of our state. We don't need weak-kneed politicians who flip-flop for political expediency, we need warriors. Senator Nathan Wesenberg is that warrior. Since the day he stepped into the Senate, Nathan has been an absolute powerhouse for liberty, a fierce defender of the Constitution, and a thorn in the side of the radical left. He has done a phenomenal job, and his record proves it.

When the grassroots demanded a true conservative, Nathan showed up. He did the work, looked the people in the eye, and earned the hard-fought endorsement of the duly elected delegates of Senate District 10. That endorsement is sacred. It is the voice of the people, not the political elite.

So let’s call out exactly what is happening right now: for a challenger to hide in the shadows and wait until the absolute last minute to jump into this race doesn't just smell funny, it wreaks of a coordinated, swamp-dwelling establishment scheme. It is a desperate, backroom attempt to subvert the will of the grassroots and protect the status quo.

It is insulting, it is weak, and it is completely unacceptable.

The establishment is terrified of leaders they can’t buy, bend, or break. They can’t control Nathan, so now they’re trying to replace him. We cannot, and we will not let these insider games derail the liberty movement.

I am proud to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Senator Nathan Wesenberg. I fully endorse his re-election, and I am calling on every freedom-loving conservative to reject this establishment ambush and send a clear message: OUR MOVEMENT IS NOT FOR SALE!"

“I am proud to endorse Senator Nathan Wesenberg for re-election to the Minnesota Senate.

In the 4 years we have served together in the Senate, Nathan has consistently demonstrated the courage, conviction, and integrity that Minnesotans deserve from their elected leaders. As a fellow member of the Minnesota Freedom Caucus, I have seen firsthand his unwavering commitment to defending constitutional liberties, protecting taxpayers, and standing up for the values of hard-working families across our state.

Nathan is not afraid to take principled positions, even when doing so is politically difficult. He approaches every issue with a deep respect for individual freedom, limited government, and the rule of law. His dedication to his constituents is evident in the countless hours he spends listening to their concerns and fighting for their interests at the Capitol.

What sets Nathan apart is his authenticity. He says what he believes, follows through on his commitments, and remains accountable to the people he serves. Minnesota needs leaders who are willing to challenge the status quo and put citizens ahead of politics, and Nathan Wesenberg has proven time and again that he is that kind of leader.

I am honored to serve alongside Senator Nathan Wesenberg and wholeheartedly support his continued service in the Minnesota Senate. I encourage voters to join me in supporting Nathan and sending him back to St. Paul to continue his important work on behalf of Minnesota families.”

Sen Cal Bahr (R) SD 31

“I have known Senator Wesenberg for the last four years. In that time I have known him to be passionate about many issues. Education of our kids and making sure our schools have the resources to educate but the flexibility to shift those resources as local needs dictate. The unborn hold a special place of protection from Nate - insuring they get a chance to live life. Nate brought his experience from his time with the DNR to the Senate. His ability to speak clearly and authoritatively to many of the issues before the Environment committee. Even though he has been in the minority during his time in the Senate, he has been able to persuade enough majority members to stop spending on studies that were already completed, allow for the eating of all animals legally harvested, and stop the complete elimination of cervidae (deer) farms. While there is much work to do in all of these areas, what he has accomplished in the minority is astounding.

For these, and many others, I wholeheartedly endorse Senator Wesenberg for reelection to the Minnesota Senate. I look forward to working with Nate in the future.”

Sen John Hoffman (DFL) SD 34

“In politics today, it can sometimes feel like we’re encouraged to judge people solely by the letter behind their name. I have never believed that is the best way to govern.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work alongside Senator Nate Wesenberg. We don’t agree on every issue, and neither of us would expect that. But what I have come to appreciate about Nate is that he is genuine, straightforward, and committed to representing the people who sent him to St. Paul. Nate was first elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2022 and represents communities across central Minnesota. Prior to serving in the Senate, he worked as a wildlife biologist and has remained deeply connected to the people and communities he serves.

What matters to me is not whether someone has an “R” or a “DFL” after their name. What matters is whether they show up, whether they listen, whether they keep their word, and whether they are willing to engage in honest conversations even when there is disagreement.

Nate does that.

I’ve found him to be thoughtful, accessible, and respectful. He brings his own convictions to the table, but he also understands that public service is about people, not personalities. In an era when too much attention is placed on division and political theater, Nate remains focused on the communities he serves and the issues that matter to them.

I’ve always believed that good government requires relationships. It requires people who can disagree without becoming disagreeable. It requires elected officials who are willing to work with others, find common ground where possible, and respect differences where it isn’t.

That is why I am proud to support Senator Nate Wesenberg in his Senate primary election.

This endorsement is not about party. It is about character, integrity, and a belief that Minnesota is stronger when we elect people who are authentic, principled, and committed to service.

I ask you to join me in supporting Senator Nate Wesenberg for re-election to the Minnesota Senate.”

Steve Porter, Deer Farmer

“I fully support Nathan Wesenberg in his run for MN Senate.

I have known Nathan to be an honest man, a hard working man, and a man who will fight for the people of MN. Nathan Wesenberg is clearly the right person for this Senate seat.”

Dan Guida, Aitkin County Sheriff

“Senator Nathan Wesenberg passionately represents his constituents with a hard work, common sense approach. His energy to support the Constitution and the fight for good vs evil is never ending. I am proud to endorse Senator Wesenberg and appreciate all the support he has shown to Aitkin County in his tenure as our elected Senator in the 10th district.”

Rep Ben Davis (R) HD 6A
Minnesota Freedom Caucus Member

“Nathan is a Patriot and friend. He's as authentic as they come. He also represents his district well. He wants limited government and less bureaucracy. He fights for children in the womb and the 2nd Amendment. He has my full support and endorsement hands down.”
