MN-SEN: Former Minnesota GOP chair David Hann joins U.S. Senate race
Former Minnesota Republican Party Chair David Hann got into the U.S. Senate race Thursday, adding himself to a field that could get even more crowded in the new year.
Hann, a former Minnesota state Senate leader, is running for the seat that Democratic U.S. Sen. Tina Smith will leave at the end of 2026.
“We need to have representation in Washington that is going to work with the administration and not just be obstructionist. I think the Democrats in Minnesota have proven over the past few years that their primary motive, primary direction that they're heading for is simply to oppose everything that the administration is trying to do and oppose Donald Trump,” Hann said.
He said that if elected, he’d take a different approach. Hann said he’d assist Trump in advancing policies around immigration enforcement, taxation and regulations for businesses.
