Here to Stay

We held our own in one of the most polarizing, negative environments ever. Our young party learned a lot. We will change and progress.

We are the Independence Party…and we are here to stay.

We offer innovative ideas, rock-solid policies and bold solutions.

We respect Minnesotans and won’t go negative.

We believe in our youth, and will fight for their future everyday.

We have the best candidates!
