What are the Primary Elections? Is it necessary to vote then or wait until the General Election in November?

Absolutely you should vote in the Primary Elections! The primary election determines which candidates will be on the ballot for the November General Election.

Even though there are several candidates running for each of the different offices in the Primary Election, only ONE Republican and ONE Democrat will advance to the November ballot.

The following Republican Candidates have been endorsed and are being supported and recommended by the Redwood County Republicans:

U.S. SENATOR – Adam Schwarze

U.S. REPRESENTATIVE DISTRICT 7 – Michelle Fischbach

MN GOVERNOR/LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR – Kendall Qualls and Brian Nicholson

MN SECRETARY OF STATE – Tad Jude

MN STATE AUDITOR – Nate George

MN ATTORNEY GENERAL – Ronald Schutz

MN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE 15B – Geri Theis

MN SENATE DISTRICT 15 – Braxton Seifert

You may only vote for candidates from one political party. If you vote some Republican and some Democrat, your ballot will be thrown out and will not count.

Absentee voting begins June 26, early in-person voting begins July 24, or you can vote on Primary Election Day, August 11 at your usual polling location.

This is your chance to select the candidates you want on the November ballot and to join our Redwood County Republicans in supporting the candidates. There are many opportunities to get involved by helping with fundraising, door-knocking, phone calling, and displaying yard signs.

Please take the time to learn about the candidates and choose those that best represents the Republican conservative values. Be a part of the success in electing Republicans across the board in Minnesota!
