Will Stancil's Election Campaign

Will Stancil’s Election Campaign

Will Stancil ran in the DFL primary for Minnesota House District 61A in 2024. He lost to Katie Jones, finishing with 36.43% of the vote. This page documents two incidents from the campaign that are referenced elsewhere on the wiki.

The postcard

During the primary, mailers were sent to District 61A voters reproducing screenshots of tweets in which Stancil had told other users to harm themselves, including one in which he told another user to “guzzle bleach.” The screenshots were presented without the surrounding context of the exchanges. I don’t know the contexts myself, but I’m pretty sure at least half of them were justified.

The opponent’s statement

One of Stancil’s two primary opponents, Isabel Rolfes, issued a public statement on August 10, 2024, regarding the mailer.
