Minnesota State Representative Walter Hudson posted a series of statements on July 21, 2025, addressing the current political climate in Minnesota and expressing concerns about recent state policies and governance under Democratic leadership.

In his first post at 16:45 UTC, Hudson questioned the lack of Republican candidates for upcoming statewide elections, stating, "There's never been a better environment for Minnesota Republicans. So why aren't more candidates stepping up for the statewide opportunities in 2026?"

Later that day at 18:36 UTC, Hudson criticized recent criminal justice policy decisions, referencing an individual convicted of murder being released as a result of legislation supported by Democrats. He wrote, "As we learn that a literal axe murderer will be released as a result of policy passed and supported by Minnesota Democrats, I'm reminded of this exchange in the House Public Safety Committee which highlights the mentality which leads to such insane policy."

At 21:08 UTC, Hudson addressed concerns about alleged misuse of public funds through nonprofit organizations connected to political allies. He commented, "This all sounds very familiar. It's indicative of the culture of fraud which dominates Minnesota under Democrat rule. ️Seize on a benevolent cause ️Raise or appropriate money ️Funnel it to 'non-profits' who employ your political allies All under color of law."

Hudson's remarks come amid ongoing debates over criminal justice reform and nonprofit oversight in Minnesota. The state has seen increased scrutiny regarding both parole policies and the allocation of public funds to nonprofit organizations with political connections.
