Patriot,

Brad Kohler here.

I didn’t come from a privileged background. Opportunity wasn’t just handed to
me.

I had to FIGHT for everything I’ve got.

As a kid, I grew up in an abusive home. Things weren’t easy.

Every single day was a STRUGGLE…

But nothing compared to that day when I was shot POINT-BLANK in the chest.

The bullet ricocheted off my sternum, but by a MIRACLE, I survived.

Luckily, I had a few people who believed in me. Who helped me into a better
situation.

My uncle took me under his wing and introduced me to wrestling.

That’s where I found discipline, purpose, and strength.

It gave me a reason to believe I could build something better.

But life kept testing me.

I put my dreams on hold for years so I could raise my kids. I made hard
sacrifices—ones no one ever saw—because being a father came first.

Eventually, I found my way into the ring. I became the Godfather of Minnesota
MMA, a three-time world champion, and a UFC veteran.

And just when I thought I’d made it, life knocked me down again. I was
diagnosed with an incurable blood disorder. But I fought back—and I won.

Then in 2008, I crashed my ultralight plane. The stabilizer impaled me. My leg
was nearly severed, and I had to be airlifted from the wreckage.

That day should have ended my story—but I wasn’t done fighting. Not even close.

After that, things got really dark. I lost EVERYTHING.

I spent seven months in jail — and faced a system designed for you to FAIL.

Then, I was homeless. Hungry.

Most people would’ve given up. But I DON’T QUIT.

I turned setbacks into FUEL.

I built businesses.

I invented the Combo Hitter. I STARTED AGAIN—because that’s what Americans do
when life knocks us down: we get back up.


<[link removed]>

I’ve learned one thing again and again: quitting is NOT acceptable.
<[link removed]>

And that’s why I’m running for Governor.

Minnesota is a state with enormous potential.

But TOO MANY families are struggling.

TOO MANY small businesses are barely hanging on.

TOO MANY people feel forgotten by their leaders.

I know what that feels like—because I’ve lived it. And I’ll never forget it.

Unfortunately, Governor Tim Walz doesn’t get it. Not even close.

He has SINGLE-HANDEDLY destroyed what was once a great state with his RADICAL
policies and CARELESSNESS.

If we want a better future for Minnesota—one built on real opportunity, not
EMPTY promises—we need a change NOW.

We need to bring leadership back to the people.

And that starts by kicking Tim Walz OUT OF OFFICE.

KICK WALZ OUT>>>

I will make public safety a TOP priority.

I’ll END this Defund the Police BS.

I’ll make sure you keep MORE of your money.

And I’ll make sure you have a say in YOUR GOVERNMENT.

Everything I’ve survived—every scar, every loss, every comeback—has prepared
me for THIS moment.

I’ve been at rock bottom. I’ve had nothing. And I fought my way back, and rose
as a Champion because I believe in SECOND CHANCES.

If my story resonates with you, I hope you’ll stand with me
<[link removed]>
—not because I’m perfect, but because I’ll NEVER stop fighting for you.

STAND WITH BRAD NOW >>>
<[link removed]>
KICK WALZ OUT>>>
<[link removed]>

I beat all of the trials and tribulations thrown my way in life, and with your
help, I will beat Tim Walz too.
<[link removed]>

Thank you,


<[link removed]>

Brad Kohler
