Episode Details

The race for Minnesota House 44B just got interesting.
No Republican on the ballot, a long-time Democrat incumbent, and TJ Hawthorne running as a liberty-minded independent.

TJ Hawthorne joins Good Morning Liberty to talk about his campaign, why he is running independent, and how he wants to bring Defend the Guard, family court reform, emergency power limits, and occupational licensing reform to the Minnesota Legislature.

This conversation covers Minnesota politics, independent candidates, libertarian ideas, small-government policy, Defend the Guard, National Guard deployments, COVID-era overreach, red tape, food shelves, local community action, and why state programs often create the incentives they claim to fix.
