not for you

Learn why Ron is wrong for Minnesota
Ron Schutz is Running to be Trump’s Lawyer
Schutz Wants to be Trump’s Enforcer in Minnesota
The Attorney General’s job is to fight for Minnesotans, but Schutz would use the office to enforce Trump’s agenda.
-
The day after Trump was re-elected, Schutz started trying to become Trump’s top legal enforcer in Minnesota. Trump’s 2024 campaign centered on getting revenge against his enemies, yet Schutz still wanted to be Trump’s enforcer.
-
Schutz said he doesn’t think Trump would do anything illegal, even after Trump’s regime shot two Minnesotans dead, tried to illegally cut billions from our state, and has engaged in the most corrupt behavior imaginable.
Schutz Would Not Defend Minnesota from Trump’s Cruelty
Trump has illegally tried to cut billions of funding from Minnesota — money we pay in federal taxes — from Minnesota's public schools, health care, child care, roads and bridges, law enforcement, disaster preparedness, food stamps, and more.
-
Schutz wouldn’t protect Minnesota from Trump’s illegal attacks. He called Attorney General Ellison’s lawsuits against the Trump administration “petty political nonsense” and “political theater,” even though those lawsuits protected over $7.3 billion in funding for Minnesota.
-
Minnesota already pays more in federal taxes than we get back from the federal government. Trump wanted to keep more of our tax dollars in DC, instead of sending them back to Minnesota to create jobs, improve our lives, and help our neighbors in need. AG Ellison is standing up to those cruel attacks. Trump wouldn’t.
Schutz Would Not Defend Minnesota from Another ICE Surge
Trump’s ICE agents left two Minnesotans dead, assaulted and illegally arrested countless more of our neighbors, and caused serious harm across our state. AG Ellison sued Trump to end Metro Surge and defend Minnesota from ICE’s brutality.
-
Ron Schutz said AG Ellison’s lawsuit trying to end Operation Metro Surge was just “wasting taxpayer money.” Schutz clearly wouldn’t stand up to another ICE surge.
Schutz Won’t Help You
Afford Your Life
The Minnesota Attorney General’s job is to stop corporations from breaking the law and ripping you off. AG Ellison has sued price-gouging drug companies, broke up an illegal price-fixing conspiracy driving up your grocery costs, and more.
Schutz does not think it’s the Attorney General’s job to make life affordable.
-
Schutz said it’s “preposterous” to expect an attorney general to help make life affordable. Listen to him yourself:
-
Schutz won’t help Minnesotans afford their lives because it’ll hurt his bottom line. Schutz has significant investments in many of the companies that AG Ellison sued for ripping off and harming Minnesotans, including big pharma companies like Pfizer and Eli Lilly, big tech companies like Amazon and Facebook, big tobacco company Philip Morris, big oil company ExxonMobil, and more. Schutz won’t police their illegal behavior because he’s too busy profiting from it.
-
Schutz also has massive investments in companies building data centers across Minnesota. AG Ellison is working to stop data centers from running up massive power bills, then forcing all of us to pick up the tab. Schutz wouldn’t do the same because he’s too busy profiting from these data centers.
Schutz Won’t Fight Fraud
Schutz Would Play Politics with Fraud Instead of Fighting It
AG Ellison has convicted over 350 people for Medicaid fraud, and even worked across two years to pass major, bipartisan, fraud-fighting legislation.
-
Schutz fought to block AG Ellison’s bipartisan, fraud-fighting bill. AG Ellison’s bill put more cops on the beat to fight fraud, increased criminal penalties for fraudsters, helped Minnesota recover more money from fraudsters, and more.
-
Schutz played politics with fraud by urging Republican lawmakers to oppose the bill. Fortunately, Schutz was too extreme even for Republican lawmakers. They ignored him and overwhelmingly voted for AG Ellison’s fraud-fighting bill. AG Ellison’s anti-fraud bill was signed into law over the summer, no thanks to Schutz.
The Minnesota Attorney General is supposed to be the People’s Lawyer. Schutz would use the office to help Trump and line his own pockets, instead of fighting for Minnesotans.
Minnesotans need a watchdog in the Attorney General’s Office, not Trump’s lapdog.
