From Fighter to Governor: Brad Kohler's Vision for Minnesota
Manage episode 482028437 series 2845745
What does it take to transform a struggling state? According to Brad Kohler, it requires someone who isn't afraid to fight—literally. The former UFC fighter, world champion, and successful entrepreneur brings his competitive spirit to politics as he campaigns to become Minnesota's next governor.
"Minnesota needs someone with a spine who isn't afraid of opposition," Kohler declares in this candid, no-holds-barred conversation. With a background spanning from wrestling championships in Ohio to winning three world titles in MMA, Kohler has now set his sights on what he calls his toughest fight yet: restoring Minnesota to its former glory.
Kohler's economic vision is radically simple—eliminate business taxes completely. "We're going to put up red flares to build our economy and bring business people back to Minnesota," he explains, contrasting his approach with current leadership. His plan includes cutting what he describes as 20% waste from the state's budget, implementing toll roads, reopening the Iron Range for mineral extraction, and expanding airports to create a quarter-million new jobs within five years.
On social issues, Kohler pulls no punches. He advocates strongly for Title IX protections for female athletes, opposes transgender participation in women's sports, and promises day-one action on immigration. "The money goes to our people—the people who work for it here in Minnesota are the ones who deserve it," he states emphatically when discussing his priorities.
Perhaps most striking is Kohler's positioning as a political outsider unbeholden to special interests. "I will not owe one person when I get in office," he promises, rejecting PAC money and emphasizing his independence. "I'm just one of those guys who doesn't quit. Everything I've ever done, I've reached the pinnacle."
Whether you're concerned about crime, education, taxes, or Minnesota's economic future, this conversation offers a fascinating glimpse into an unconventional candidate's bold vision.
