The Research Is Free. Producing It Is Not.
The August 2026 primary is over. What it paid for — the datasets, the records requests, the time to read a statute before writing about it — is still running, and still free to read.

In August 2026, 103,743 Minnesotans voted for a first-time grassroots candidate the party machine wrote off. That campaign ended. The thing it turned into did not.
This site now publishes sourced research on Minnesota law and policy — more than a hundred pieces, every claim tied to a public dataset, every article ending with a list of what could not be verified. There is no paywall, no advertising, and no list rented or sold to anyone. It is paid for by Minnesotans who want the work to keep existing, and it is organizing ground for a run in August 2030.
No PAC money. No corporate donors. No national party apparatus.
Contributions to Madgett for Minnesota are not tax-deductible. Under Minn. Stat. § 10A.20, subd. 3(c), a campaign committee must disclose the name, address, and employer — or occupation, if self-employed — of any individual or association whose contributions to a statewide candidate exceed $200 in the aggregate within the year. Corporate contributions are prohibited under Minn. Stat. § 211B.15, subd. 2, which bars a corporation from making, and a committee from accepting, a contribution “of any money, property, free service of its officers, employees, or members, or thing of monetary value” to promote or defeat a candidacy. Statutory text verified against the Office of the Revisor of Statutes on September 9, 2026. This is a description of the committee’s reporting duty, not legal advice about yours.
Organizing, sharing the research, and correcting it are all worth more than a check.
