Minnesota state government employees say they wrote to Kamala Harris, DNC, 'warning' about Walz as VP pick

"We tried our best to keep the public informed as our tweets are public. Maybe Kamala Harris turned a blind eye to fraud like her running mate?," the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account - which says it represents more than 480 current staff members at the Minnesota Department of Human Services - posted on X.

"Over the years, our messages have not changed. We need fraud to stop in Minnesota and good governance to be restored," it added.

Neither the DNC nor Harris' team immediately responded to Fox News Digital's requests for comment.

Minnesota is currently at the center of a widening fraud scandal as federal prosecutors continue to unravel scandals, including one of the nation's largest COVID-era fraud cases.

The Times reported that over the past five years, according to law enforcement authorities, several fraud schemes proliferated in parts of Minnesota's Somali community. A number of individuals allegedly created companies that billed state agencies for millions of dollars' worth of social services that were never delivered.

State Rep. Marion Rarick, R-Minn., told Fox News Digital that she has been looking into the fraud in her state since she was asked to serve on the Fraud Prevention and State Agency Oversight Committee in January. She said she reached out to the whistleblowers behind the Minnesota Department of Human Service Employees account earlier this year to ask if they would speak to the newly-formed fraud prevention committee. 

"They agreed," Rarick said, adding that she has been communicating with them ever since, including an in-person meeting.

State Rep. Kristin Robbins, R-Minn., also praised the group, saying on X that the whistleblowers are "heroes." 

"We have been meeting with them for months and they are trying to clean up state gov't after @Tim_Walz ['s] utter failure to hold his agencies accountable," she said.
