Groundswell for Gov. Tim Walz to resign continues to mount as Minnesotans learn how much fraud has occurred on his watch.
After seeing a story on X about a fraud case involving $14 million for a fake autism center, one Minnesota mom was fed up and took action.
“I’ve never really been political, but I had to do something,” said the mom, who goes by Minnesota Lady America First on X. “Having a child on the spectrum, I was angry. For something this big to happen in our state, Tim Walz had to know about it. I’m just hoping enough people wake up.”

Citing “financial mismanagement and a loss of confidence among the state’s citizens,” she recently launched a Change.org petition calling for Walz’s resignation.
“Sign this petition if you believe that Minnesota deserves better leadership, accountability, and a government that truly serves its people. Your voice is crucial in making a change that could benefit generations to come. Join us in demanding Governor Walz, Peggy Flanagan, Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar and Steve Simon resign for the betterment of our beloved state and its hardworking families.”
More than 11,000 names have been added to the petition, “Demand Governor Tim Walz Admin Resign in Minnesota,” which lists issues of questionable integrity of state leaders, a faltering state economy, widespread fraud, betrayed public trust and denying aid to Minnesotans truly in need. The petition has been active for only a month after being created on Nov. 21.
“While addressing such systemic problems is challenging, it is clear that changes in leadership are often necessary to restore trust and rebuild our communities,” states the petition. “Therefore, we are calling for Governor Tim Walz, Peggy Flanagan, Keith Ellison, Ilhan Omar and Steve Simon’s resignation. It is time for new leadership that can deliver on promises and rebuild the connection between government and its constituents, ensuring transparency, integrity, and progress for all Minnesotans.”
Federal prosecutors estimated during a press conference last week that fraud in Minnesota could be as high as $9 billion since 2018.
The petition has gained traction as U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon publicly called for Gov. Walz to resign in a recent letter due to his handling of the massive fraud in his state.
