Download Headshot

Ryan Wilson is a father, husband, business entrepreneur, and lifelong Minnesotan. He founded a successful small business that grew into a globally leading firm. He is also a Little League baseball coach. Wilson volunteers on several non-profit boards that aim to help our youth and improve our communities. He was a key volunteer for Let Them Play, a group that represented tens of thousands of families and fought to reopen youth sports during Governor Tim Walz’s lockdowns. As a constitutional attorney, he successfully defeated Governor Walz at the Minnesota Supreme Court when Walz was found to have violated election law. He also helped to successfully defend President Trump in the same court when a left-wing group tried to remove Trump from the ballot. Wilson ran for state auditor in 2022 on a platform seeking to hold government accountable and ensure the hard-earned tax dollars of Minnesotans were not being wasted. He came closer to statewide victory than any Republican candidate since 2008. Wilson is a proud fourth-generation Minnesotan. Along with his wife, he is raising his family in the state where they both have deep and wide family and community roots.
