Overview
- State Rep. Mike Wiener and four other Republicans advanced four articles alleging Walz concealed fraud, interfered with oversight, prioritized politics, and failed to safeguard public funds.
- Wiener says at least 10 GOP lawmakers support the resolution, and he intends to present it when the legislature reconvenes on Feb. 17.
- Removal would require a House majority and a two‑thirds Senate conviction, and the 67–67 split in the House makes advancement uncertain without Democratic support.
- Walz has denied wrongdoing, cast the probes as politically driven, and recently exited the 2026 gubernatorial race.
- The impeachment push follows federal investigations that began with the 2022 Feeding Our Future case and a December estimate from a U.S. attorney that $9 billion or more may have been stolen across 14 programs.
