Rep. Anderson Calls Walz Decision a ‘Major Turn of Events’

Minnesota House Agriculture Committee Co-Chair Rep. Paul Anderson, R-Starbuck, said he was not entirely surprised by Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s decision not to seek a third term, but called it a “major turn of events.” “I noticed he blamed President Trump for a lot of the things happening in Minnesota, and he’s only been in office for a year, and some of the issues of fraud go back four, five, or six years.” Anderson also highlighted the governor’s record on biofuels and sustainable energy, noting the importance of continuity in state policy. “The governor was a strong supporter of sustainable aviation fuel. I’ve worked with him in that area for the last couple of years. He was a proponent of ethanol. And so I hope that whoever steps in his place will have those same feelings.”
