Episode 400 - The Andrew Parker Show, "The Wild & Wacky World of Minnesota Politics," with Special Guest Brian McClung

In this hard-hitting episode of The Andrew Parker Show, Andrew welcomes political strategist and former Deputy Chief of Staff to Governor Tim Pawlenty, Brian McClung, for a no-holds-barred breakdown of the political landscape in Minnesota—and why what happens here could shape the national conversation in 2025 and beyond.

From the chaos at the State Capitol to GOP challenges, Brian and Andrew explore:

• The failure of leadership in the 2024 Minnesota legislative session
• The DFL’s overreach on spending, social policy, and corporate taxes
• The rise of “one-party rule” in St. Paul and what Republicans must do now
• What to expect from the special session—and why it matters to your wallet
• Angie Craig’s U.S. Senate bid, suburban battlegrounds, and how CD2 flips red
• The urgent need for the GOP to craft a compelling, positive vision
• The growing influence of women in Republican leadership
• Why competence, clarity, and confidence—not chaos—must define the new Right

Plus, McClung pulls back the curtain on his PR work at the Capitol, fighting for ambulance providers, rural investment, and smarter tech and tax policy. Learn how real-world advocacy and strategic messaging can shape legislation—and elections.

Whether you're a political junkie, campaign pro, or engaged citizen, this episode delivers straight talk and real strategy.
