Eric Lucero, a public figure and commentator, has recently posted several statements on social media addressing Minnesota politics and state governance. His posts focus on the actions of Governor Tim Walz, electoral reforms such as Ranked Choice Voting (RCV), and a federal investigation related to civil rights.

On July 9, 2025, Lucero criticized Governor Tim Walz in a tweet stating, "While @Tim_Walz is clueless what a woman is, Walz is experienced forcing taxpayers to foot his $430,000 legal bill." The post references both the governor's stance on gender issues and an alleged legal expense attributed to taxpayers.

Later that day, Lucero commented on electoral reform efforts in Minnesota. In his tweet from July 9, 2025, he wrote: "Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) proven to propel Democrats and Socialists to election victories. In other news, MN Secretary of State Steve Simon pushes for RCV across the entire state." This statement links RCV with political outcomes favoring certain parties and notes the advocacy of Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon for expanding RCV statewide.

On July 11, 2025, Lucero addressed a new federal development involving Governor Walz’s administration. He stated: "Federal civil rights investigation has been launched in response to @Tim_Walz's goal to move MN backward with his demands to discriminate within government." The post alleges discriminatory practices within state government under Walz’s leadership that have prompted federal scrutiny.

According to additional information provided for context: "Eric Lucero is a Republican member of the Minnesota Senate known for his vocal criticism of Democratic officials and policies."
