11.12.2025 03:16 β π 14 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0ST PAUL β Today, the DFL Party released the following statement in response to Chris Madelβs announcement of his candidacy for Governor: βChris Madel built his career defending violent and exploitative criminals. He represented fraudsters, rapists, and pedophiles, getting many of their charges and cases thrown out along the way. Madel desperately wants to be seen as a pragmatist, yet he jumps to defend criminals charged with hate crimes against our communities. With such a checkered history of clients, he lacks a moral compass to be Governor. He would take Minnesota in the wrong direction,β said Minnesota DFL Chair Richard Carlbom. βThe contradictions continue. Despite claiming to be βtough-on-crime,β Madel fights to let criminals get out with little consequence. The platform of law-and-order that Chris Madel campaigns on is a farce built on years of defending Minnesotaβs worst.β After an Illinois man bombed a Minnesota mosque and attempted to set fire to an abortion clinic, Madel defended him in court, claiming he βhas done his level best to turn a new page in his life.β Madel got child pornography charges dropped for a man facing allegations of knowingly engaging in crimes involving sexual materials with a minor. Madel has defended clients who made violent threats against public officials and members of law enforcement. One client threatened to murder FBI agents over their arrest of a man charged with giving material support to ISIS.

Minnesota democrats issued a statement attacking their opponent solely on the basis of his criminal defense work. They essentially cite fulfilling the requirements of our Constitution as evidence of lacking a moral compass. A reminder that the erosion of the rule of law can come from all directions.
