2022 MN Governor's race: on Corporations


Tim Walz: A place for both large corporate farms and family farms

When Walz touted low unemployment, [Republican opponent Scott] Jensen talked about inflation. When Walz said there was a place for both large corporate farms and family farms, Jensen said purchase of agricultural land by foreign corporations would happen "over my dead body," though state law already bars such purchases.

Walz went after Jensen as well, accusing him of seeing only negative statistics and neglecting the positive numbers. "If you're rooting against Minnesota being at the top, having the strongest state finances and the lowest unemployment … if you're rooting to see failure, that's what you're going to get," Walz said. "But it's not the job we're applying for."

Walz blamed Jensen's no-new-spending rhetoric for the failure of the budget and tax compromise at the Legislature and noted that tax cuts and spending on public schools and public safety were victims of the impasse.
