Jude wins GOP race for Minnesota secretary of state

Tad Jude, a former legislator and MAGA activist, has won the Republican nomination for secretary of state in Minnesota. Jude, who has expressed a desire to eliminate the elections commission, will now face three-term DFL incumbent Steve Simon in the general election. This victory secures the GOP nod for the position, positioning the former legislator to challenge the current office holder in the upcoming race for the state's top election official role.
