MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell files to run for Minnesota governor

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell filed paperwork Wednesday to run for Minnesota governor.

While the paperwork doesn’t certainly mean he is running, Lindell said he is 98% sure he is. The CEO filed with the Minnesota Campaign Finance and Disclosure Board to run as a Republican against Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN).

He told Minnesota Public Radio that he would make a decision as early as Dec. 11.

Lindell is a conservative personality also known for his efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 election. He owns Lindell TV, which has Pentagon press credentials alongside other conservative outlets and influencers.

A judge ruled in September that the MyPillow CEO defamed voting machine company Smartmatic for his claims that the machines “rigged” the 2020 election. He supported President Donald Trump against former President Joe Biden then. (Read more from “MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell files to run for Minnesota governor” HERE)
