In 2016, while Nadeau was deputy chair of Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District Republican executive committee, the group decided not to endorse Donald Trump for president, a move which Nadeau said "was a hard decision" but was made to help down-ballot candidates. [4]

[1] [5] [6] When Johnson announced he would not run for re-election, Nadeau ran for the seat, gaining the endorsement of Johnson and the Star Tribune Editorial Board.

Policy positions

Nadeau is anti-abortion and opposed the removal of the two-parent notification requirement for Minnesotans under 18 seeking abortion access. [10] He opposed increasing funding to the Minnesota Attorney General's office to hire more criminal prosecutors, saying he would rather move attorneys in the consumer protection department. [11] Nadeau voted against legislation ensuring workers would earn one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, saying it was a burden on small businesses. [12]
