Harry Niska called Governor Walz a king for protecting the Boundary Waters from mining. But look at his own record on data centers, and a pattern shows up: backing bills that skip environmental review and water protections.

Brian Walker on primary night results, Niska's ladder-climbing, and why HD 31A needs a neighbor in St. Paul, not a party climber.

Brian Walker reflects on Night to Unite in Ramsey: the neighbors who walked away, and why he believes honest conversation beats agreement every time.

Headlines vs. Reality: Brian Walker fact-checks GOP education proposals on vouchers, teacher pay, and special ed funding for HD 31A voters.

Brian Walker on the SAVE Act: why he supports voter ID, but not new hurdles that could keep eligible Minnesotans from voting. Read his take.

Republicans lead healthcare with culture war fights before they say one word about your insulin bill. Meanwhile Mayo made $1.5B, Sanford made $1.1B, UnitedHealth made $5.48B in a quarter. Bring healthcare back to people, not shareholders.

"My name is Brian, and I used to be a Republican." A Ramsey former-farmer-turned-candidate on leaving the party, and an invitation to talk as neighbors.

I read the GOP's 'Preserve Civil Rights' plank line by line. Here's what it actually says, and what it leaves out.

Where I'm from, we have a saying: all hat, no cattle. Looks the part, doesn't do the work. That's this platform. Sounds like prosperity for everyone, delivers tax breaks for the wealthy and lectures for everybody else.

We have a representative who runs to the cameras and the spotlight. We have a representative who makes sure he’s in the headlines. Here’s what I know about true leadership and representation: it’s about showing up, working hard, doing what’s right, taking blame, and giving credit.

None of that is happening for us now.

I want to be a representative for the entire area. I’ve learned that real solutions come from listening and understanding, not arguing and blaming others.

My goal in St. Paul would be to never be given the spotlight, the headlines, or the interviews. I want to be known as the representative who rolled up his sleeves and actually got the work done without any of that. That’s when I would know that I did it right.

I believe we should all be free to be who we are, to love who we want, to praise any God we choose, to choose our own political ideology, to make our own medical choices. What I don't believe is that we're free to hate those we disagree with.

Be brave enough to stand up for what you believe. Be brave enough to stand up for others' civil rights. Be brave enough to be who you are.

I want to represent all of 31A, even when it makes people angry. I want to represent my neighbors before I represent a caucus.

Happy 4th of July. Be safe, and say hi when you see me out and about.

Girls sports? Brian Walker asks the question Niska won't: if this is really about protecting girls, where's the bill on the abuse they actually face? Where’s the investment in their sports? Read Brian's response to the Supreme Court's ruling and Niska's bad call for Minnesota to be next.

Brian Walker grew up row cropping soybeans and milo in Kansas, putting up thousands of bales of hay and learning to drive a tractor before he was eight years old. He also watched equipment get auctioned off. Both experiences followed him to Minnesota. As a candidate for State House in District 31A, Walker is pushing to eliminate the estate tax on family farms passed down within the family — because he knows what it looks like when a farm does not survive to the next generation.

Fraud is a big topic, and rightfully so. No one likes it. Not a democrat, not a republican. And sadly, everyone is to blame.

I’m Brian Walker. I spent time on the Ramsey Planning Commission and Parks & Rec. I learned what it means to actually represent residents, and want to take that to the Minnesota House for Ramsey and Andover.

Brian Walker rode horses across Gettysburg — the same ground where Memorial Day was born. Here's what that hallowed field taught him about division, unity, and why moving forward isn't optional.

Every summer, without fail, I spend at least a week in the Boundary Waters. My history with the BWCA and Quetico goes back to the early ‘80s, which is when I first fell in love with the silence and the scale of the North Woods. Since then, it has become a true family tradition.

I voted Republican most of my life. January 6th changed that. Now I'm running as the DFL candidate in 31A—against Harry Niska, the House Majority Leader who's more focused on managing a caucus than representing Ramsey and Andover. Strange origin story. Right moment for it.

Nowadays, the party has become more important than the people for our politicians. It’s time to change that. Government should be boring, productive, and add value to its citizens.
