Rep. Tom Emmer pledged 56 more districts before Election Day. A running log of every stop, next to what public access voters in his own district get, for both candidates, by the same rules.

What the MN-06 candidates tell reporters, checked against the public record by the same rules for both. First up: St. Cloud LIVE's profiles of Tom Emmer and Doug Chapin. Updated as new coverage runs.

Thirteen questions to both campaigns for Minnesota's 6th District. Chapin answered all thirteen. Emmer did not respond, so his column is built from his votes, bills, and public statements. Every cell shows its source.

MN-06 Watch sent every declared candidate for Minnesota's 6th Congressional District the same five questions. Two responded. One withdrew. The incumbent did not respond.

Minnesota's Sixth is the state's largest and fastest-growing congressional district. Since the DFL nominee entered in July 2025, eighteen news stories have named both candidates — the same number as a district eight points safer. Five explanations tested against the record: competitiveness, the death of the St. Cloud Times, a district split between two television markets, an incumbent who has not appeared beside his opponent once, and the broadcast owner whose family giving to Emmer-affiliated committees rose nineteenfold across three cycles. Published with the full coverage corpus and a transaction-level FEC spreadsheet.

Two data centers, a county moratorium, and one question in every hearing: who pays for the grid? The strongest case for and against — jobs, taxes, the grid, your electric bill, water, noise — and where Rep. Tom Emmer stands on the energy question underneath it all.

Why Minnesota changed its flag, who decided, what every symbol means, and why a settled question keeps getting relitigated. With the June 2026 Minnesota Poll: 30% approve, 50% disapprove — but 55% of Democrats like it and 2% of Republicans do, a 53-point split on a piece of cloth. The full documented record, plus the no-penalty Confederate precedent and the vote that can't pass.

A document comparison. The Election Integrity Network published a 116-page Model Election Laws Handbook on May 14, 2026 — with free state IDs, notice-and-cure procedures, multi-database verification, pending-status protections, and good-faith standards for officials. The same network champions the SAVE America Act, which contains none of these safeguards and adds federal preemption, criminal liability, and a private right of action. Every claim sourced to the bill text, the handbook, federal statute, or Supreme Court case law.

A 12-month audit of how Minnesota's ten members of Congress posted on X. 10,554 original posts. 99 flagged. Five members at zero. Same methodology as the national audit, applied symmetrically across the delegation.

A 90-day audit of 122,106 congressional posts on X finds Republicans and Democrats apply totalitarian-regime labels to opponents at statistically indistinguishable rates. The asymmetry that does exist lives in different rhetoric entirely — and it's substantial. Published with full methodology and a 110-post audit trail.
