Why He's Running
After 25 years, Betty McCollum has become a rubber stamp for the failed policies coming out of Washington. She writes the checks as a senior member of the Appropriations Committee — and when $9 billion was stolen in COVID fraud, she said nothing. When Tim Walz’s administration let it happen, she praised his “effective leadership.”​
Minnesota deserves better. Wikstrom will bring the same accountability, problem-solving, and purposeful approach to Congress that he’s brought to everything he does.
"I’m not a politician. I’m an engineer. When something’s broken, you fix it. You don’t make excuses. You don’t blame someone else. You roll up your sleeves and get to work.” — P. C. Wikstrom
