Minnesota Democratic gubernatorial candidate Amy Klobuchar is under scrutiny from her Republican opponent, Lisa Demuth, for not addressing the ongoing fraud scandal in the state. A review of Klobuchar's press releases from January 2022 to December 2025 revealed no mention of the Feeding Our Future scandal, which involves allegations of over $250 million in fraud and could total $9 billion in social services fraud overall. Demuth criticized Klobuchar for not holding hearings or addressing the issue despite her long tenure as a senator. Klobuchar has since focused her campaign on fraud, promising a state audit on her first day in office. Demuth argues that voters will remember Klobuchar's inaction on fraud as they head to the polls in November.
