KOHLER / CHRISTOPHER
PRESS RELEASE
MY ROOTS
My name is Brad Kohler. Many of you know me as a former UFC heavyweight professional fighter and three-time MMA World Champion. Since then, I have been recognized as an author, inventor, small business owner, and mentor. From the experiences in my life, the family values and standards I hold myself to, and my business background, I believe I am the best candidate for this office.
COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE
I am here today asking for your support because I want to represent you as the next Governor of Minnesota. My relentless commitment to serving the people of this great state has driven me to pursue this opportunity to lead. As governor, I will focus on making Minnesota a better place to live, work, and raise a family.
When elected, I will work to reduce your taxes—ALL TAXES—ensuring that families and businesses can thrive without the burden of excessive government spending. I will also prioritize enforcing the rule of law and ensuring that our policies support safe, secure communities. Minnesota must be a place where legal and responsible residents feel respected and protected.
Public safety will be a cornerstone of my administration. I will increase funding for our police, fire, and peace officers, ensuring they have the resources and support necessary to create safer streets and neighborhoods across the state.
I think we can all agree that Minnesota, like our nation, faces significant challenges. Many of our current leaders have failed us by putting partisan politics above the needs of the people they were elected to serve. It’s time for a new direction—one driven by commitment, hard work, and a clear focus on the future.
The change we need starts here. Together, we can restore faith in our government and build a Minnesota that works for everyone. I look forward to earning your trust and serving you with integrity and dedication.
Brad Kohler for Minnesota Governor
MY ROOTS
My name is Rev. Tim Christopher. Many of you know me as a dedicated community leader, pastor, and advocate for public safety and strong family values. As an Associate Minister at Berean Missionary Baptist Church in Minneapolis and the founder of Shepherds Works, I have spent years working to uplift our communities, mentor our youth, and stand for what is right. My faith, my commitment to service, and my belief in hard work and accountability have guided me in everything I do.
From my experience in ministry, community outreach, and public advocacy, I have seen firsthand the challenges facing Minnesotans. I understand the importance of leadership that puts people before politics, and I am ready to bring my dedication and vision to the office of Lieutenant Governor.
COMMITTED TO EXCELLENCE
I am stepping up in this race because I believe Minnesota deserves leadership that is bold, principled, and committed to the well-being of its citizens. My lifelong dedication to serving the community, fighting for safer streets, and standing for faith and family values drives me to take action. As Lt. Governor, I will work alongside Brad Kohler to restore trust in our government, promote economic growth, and protect the rights of every individual.
When elected, I will work to ensure that every Minnesotan, regardless of background, has the opportunity to succeed. This means reducing burdensome taxes that hold working families and small businesses back. It means standing firm in our support for law enforcement, ensuring they have the resources they need to protect our communities. Public safety is not a political issue, it’s a necessity. Too many neighborhoods are suffering from rising crime, and weak leadership has allowed it to continue. That stops here.
As Lieutenant Governor, I will continue the work I have done for years—holding leaders accountable, advocating for policies that strengthen our communities, and making sure that Minnesotans feel safe and empowered in their own state.
I have spoken out against failed policies that harm our most vulnerable communities, and I will continue to do so in office. The people deserve leadership that prioritizes action over empty promises.
A STRONGER FUTURE FOR MINNESOTA
Minnesota is at a crossroads. We have seen the effects of poor leadership—higher crime, economic struggles, and communities that feel abandoned. We need real solutions, not more of the same political games.
The time for change is now. Together, Brad Kohler and I will fight for a Minnesota that is strong, safe, and prosperous for all. I look forward to earning your trust and serving you with faith, integrity, and determination.
Rev. Tim Christopher for Lt. Governor
