He let fraud slide.
Nearly six years in the legislature, and billions of dollars pushed out the door to state programs.* Putnam voted for the spending. He never voted to stop the fraud draining it.
He voted for illegal immigrants over Minnesota taxpayers.**
Driver's licenses. Taxpayer-funded healthcare. Rental assistance. College tuition help. Putnam voted to hand all of it to people who broke the law to get here—funded by people who didn't.
He blew through an $18 billion surplus.
Minnesota had an $18 billion surplus. Putnam and his party spent every dollar of it. Then they raised your taxes by $10 billion anyway—gas tax, sales tax, car tabs, even a proposed tax on social media. Putnam took a pay raise while he did it.***
He sold out Minnesota girls.
Putnam voted to let transgender males take spots on women's sports teams.
He lied about Social Security.
Putnam promised to end the tax on Social Security. Then he voted to keep it.**** He'll say anything to win a vote—and forget it the moment he's back in St. Paul.
But if you want a THRIVING Minnesota, vote BERNIE PERRYMAN!
While Putnam took a paycheck—Bernie Perryman took action.
Bernie Perryman helped launch a state effort to root out the fraud that's cost Minnesota taxpayers billions of dollars — roughly $3,800 per family, every year. While Putnam voted to keep sending money out the door, Perryman worked to find out where it was going.
