Campaign websiteDemuth's campaign website stated the following:Lisa's PrioritiesTaxes and AffordabilityHelping Minnesota families afford their lives will be my top priority as governor. I will work to cut income taxes for families by reducing the lowest two tax brackets, dial back expensive car tab fees that were raised by Democrats, and finally end taxes on social security benefits for our seniors. I will also push to require that state surplus dollars be returned to the taxpayers who paid them, because a budget surplus should not be an excuse for politicians to spend more money.Eliminating FraudUnder Tim Walz's watch, fraud has exploded with billions of your hard-earned tax dollars stolen by criminals who used it to buy foreign real estate, luxury cars, and more. I will end the culture of fraud and corruption in state government and demand accountability from state workers responsible for managing the state programs that have been abused by fraudsters. I will work with the legislature to pass a non-partisan Office of Inspector General who will be empowered to root out fraud in all parts of government, and be a partner for my administration in stopping fraud before it starts instead of waiting until the fraudsters have walked out the door with your money.Learn about Lisa's "Fraud Prevention Plan."Public SafetyAs Governor, I will have the backs of our police, firefighters, and other first responders who keep our communities safe. I will invest in public safety resources for cities and counties, strengthen sentences for repeat offenders, and crack down on soft-on-crime policies from judges and county attorneys who seem to favor the feelings of criminals over the safety of the public.EnergyMinnesota needs a true all-of-the-above approach that keeps energy bills affordable for families and ensures year-round reliability of our grid on the coldest days of winter and hottest days of summer. I will repeal Minnesota's longstanding ban on nuclear energy, and reform burdensome mandates imposed by Democrats that are driving up your heating and electric bills.EducationMinnesota schools need a dramatic reset. Despite years of increased investment, our test scores have stagnated and too many kids are moving through our education system despite failing to meet basic benchmarks for reading, writing, math, and science. As Governor I will lead an education revolution that puts academic excellence and reading proficiency at the center of our agenda. I will fight to keep woke gender and racial ideology out of our classrooms and focus dollars in the classroom instead of on growing the education bureaucracy that is driving up local property taxes across Minnesota.Jobs & Business EnvironmentAs Governor I will work to make Minnesota a magnet for business investment and job creation in all corners of the state. I will issue an executive order on day one of my administration to cut permitting timelines by at least 25% and work with the legislature to pass meaningful permitting reform. Minnesota has a chance to bolster our country's supply of precious metals which would grow our economy across the Iron Range and boost our national security so we no longer have to rely on adversaries like Russia and China. Minnesota can return to its place as a top destination for business investment, but only if we are no longer an outlier in business tax rates, mandates, and other business measures.— Lisa Demuth's campaign website (June 14, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
