MINNESOTA VETERANS - THIS DEMANDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION People from all across Minnesota have been flooding my inbox and DMs with the same video, begging me to shine a light on what is allegedly happening in Kandiyohi County. The claims circulating are deeply disturbing: Kandiyohi County Administrator Kelsey Baker is allegedly moving to convert space inside the County Veterans Service Office (CVSO) - the very office that exists solely to serve those who served - into a Muslim prayer room. Veterans who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan, many of whom carry PTSD from combat against jihadist forces, would allegedly be forced to share that sacred space with Islamic prayer. The video making the rounds expresses raw fury over this, correctly noting that a veterans’ office is not a place for Islamic conversion, especially not on the taxpayer dime. If these allegations are true, it is horrific. It is a slap in the face to every man and woman who bled for this country. A county building dedicated to veterans should remain dedicated to veterans - full stop. I am not stating these claims as fact. I am stating what is being widely alleged and shared by Minnesota veterans and residents. I want to verify whether this is true. If you have firsthand information, documents, emails, meeting notes, recordings, or any additional details about plans involving the Kandiyohi County CVSO and a prayer space, please send them to me immediately. Tomorrow I will be reaching out to the appropriate parties - County Administrator Kelsey Baker, the Kandiyohi County Board of Commissioners, the Veterans Service Officers, and any other relevant officials - for official answers and clarification. Veterans deserve an office that serves them. Not one that is allegedly being repurposed. Minnesota deserves transparency.

This will not be ignored.
