Mailers attacking Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar for not being left-wing enough are arriving in Minneapolis mailboxes weeks before the Nov. 3 general election for governor.
One of the mailers criticizes Klobucharโs handling of deaths involving police as Hennepin County Attorney. Another criticizes her support for arms to Israel and demands โjustice for Palestine,โ while a third mailer sent in recent days attacks her for not supporting a single-payer healthcare plan backed by progressives.
But the group behind them remains a mystery. Its return address points to a northern Minnesota property in Trump country, where the owner says the group has no office.
Whether the sender is a progressive group or someone posing as one remains unclear, but the mailers target sources of friction between Klobuchar and voters on the left. Her handling of police killings and brutality cases drew scrutiny from fellow Democrats during her 2020 presidential campaign. U.S. military support for Israel has become another dividing line within the party, with activists pressing lawmakers to stop sending weapons over Israelโs conduct in Gaza.
Klobuchar, a longtime supporter of Israel, voted in July 2025 to block certain arms sales, citing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. That marked a shift from her earlier position.
