What's Happening in Minnesota
Iron Range · Mining & Economy
The Iron Range Feeds Minnesota. St. Paul Treats It Like a Side Issue.
7,000 jobs. $1.6 billion in economic activity. Iron ore shipped through the Twin Ports for 10 months a year — and St. Paul can't find the urgency to protect it. Directive 11 exists because Greater Minnesota is not a talking point. It is the economic backbone of this state and it will be treated like one.

Minnesota House Fraud Prevention Committee
Committee. Committee. Committee. But No Money.
Rep. Kristin Robbins presented the "Waste, Fraud and Abuse in Minnesota" report to the House Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Policy Committee. Her conclusion: the Walz administration accepted, tolerated, and refused to hold anyone accountable. This committee dissolves at the end of session. Directive 01 doesn't.

Minnesota · Governor 2026
Retired Special Operations Veteran. Not a politician. Republican by conviction — no donors, no strings.
A resident with a plan — built for the Residents of Minnesota.
Not a politician.
A resident.
Tom Berhane is a retired Special Operations Veteran who immigrated to Minnesota in 1987 and built his life here. He served 21 years — 18 in Special Operations — from before 9/11 through the Afghan pullout. He came home to a state being mismanaged into the ground.
He's Republican by conviction — not by obligation. No party machine. No donors to pay back. He has a VA disability rating, a fixed income, and nothing to prove to anyone except you. That's why he can tell you the truth.
Directive 09 — Veterans
What Does Minnesota Owe You?
If you served, there's money on the table. A deployment bonus window that closed without warning. A property tax exclusion you may never have claimed. Use the Resident Veteran Portal to calculate exactly what you're owed — and what Directive 09 does to put it in your hands automatically.
