Meet Lindsey Wilharm

In a political landscape often dominated by familiar names and entrenched interests, Lindsey Wilharm emerges as a refreshing candidate for U.S. Senate. With a vision rooted in Christian values and a commitment to restore our country, Lindsey is not just another elite career politician; she is a common middle class citizen, mother, and a servant of God, dedicated to advocate for the other common people of this country. Lindsey prides herself on being transparent and honest. She is deeply reflective of her all her experiences and is not ashamed to share about the mistakes that have shaped her into the incredible, God fearing, and obedient woman and mother she is today. 

​​

Background and Experience​

 

Lindsey Wilharm was born in Switzerland. Her parents, who are native to Minnesota, were residing there on a work visa. She was not granted Swiss born citizenship, therefore at just a few days old, she was taken to the U.S. Embassy where she was documented as a U.S. citizen. This circumstance shaped how she views the acquirement of citizenship in all countries. Her parents moved back to the United States when she was still a baby, and temporarily went to Ohio. They moved back to their home state of Minnesota when she was about five years old. From then on, Lindsey spent her upbringing and formative years in Minnesota, like the four generations of her family that proceeded. 

 

Lindsey descended from immigrants of Germany and Finland who came to Minnesota with little to nothing. Through hard work and dedication they helped contribute to Minnesota becoming a great state to live. A couple of the businesses they owned included a creamery in Northern Minnesota, and a formerly well known Pharmacy in the Twin Cities called Wilharm Drug. Her ancestors entrepreneurial history planted an early seed in Lindsey's heart to someday contribute by owning and operating a business as well.

​

Lindsey was raised in Apple Valley, a south suburb of the Twin Cities. She had a typical suburban upbringing, but also got to experience the beauty of northern MN when they traveled to Grand Rapids to spend time with family. She was an extremely intelligent child, with a deep love for knowledge and school. Most of her free time outside of school was spent playing hockey. She thrived in the competitive atmosphere, and loved being part of a team. Being born in 1992, she experienced a true millennial upbringing. This meant that her childhood was enriched by limited use of technology, while also getting to experience how it was increasingly incorporated into daily life. Even though she was quite young, she vividly remembers the September 11th terror attacks, and the transformation America went through as a result. As she entered her teen years, the global financial crisis hit, and she unfortunately witnessed as many peoples lives drastically changed. The economy tanked and the people around her lost jobs, financial security, and in some cases, even their homes. Many people in Minnesota, including her parents who were moderate conservatives, plunged themselves into liberal ideology. This was not necessarily because of principles, but out of social support or necessity.

​

By the time Lindsey entered high school she was heavily interested in politics. She would indulge in conversation and debates with peers or any adults willing to give her the time of day. Her perception of politics were shaped by the war on terror, conditions of the economy, and non-stop news broadcasts that were the steady background noise of her childhood. She easily fell victim to the perception that liberal ideology was morally superior, and she abandoned her lukewarm christian upbringing because her faith no longer seemed compatible with her studies. She was first in her class throughout most of high school, excelling in both liberal arts and the sciences. Towards the end of her high school career, her health took a huge hit following a vaccine injury from the newly approved vaccine, Gardisil. This experience would later serve as a driving force for her passion in natural healthcare.

 

Her senior year, Lindsey fell victim to the Minnesota sexual health ideology that taught her that abortion was an acceptable option for an unwanted pregnancy. When she found herself pregnant at the age of 18, she was assured abortion was the only acceptable and normal choice to make to secure her future. Following the abortion, she was immediately plagued psychologically by the burden of that irreversible, and intensely immoral decision. Lindsey has since developed a staunch pro-life position; and an intense disdain for the Minnesota sexual health education system, that promotes abortion as an acceptable decision. It is a disservice and failure to young women to not vehemently warn them of the life long burden, and psychological impact, that can result.​

​

Education​

 

Lindsey went all the way to the country of Panama for her first year of college. She was admitted to Florida State University in Tallahassee for political science, but took advantage of their first year abroad program. Having already completed her general requirements in high school, she immediately jumped into studies including political philosophy and psychology. She immersed herself in the culture of Panama making almost exclusively local friends who provided her unique, and authentic, Panamanian experiences. The cultural immersion of her relationships were often significantly more educational than her studies. Through her friends she learned a fair amount of Spanish; and got to learn about the social political landscape and economy of their country. Her friends were part of the upper echelon of society, and had families deeply integrated into politics. She experienced the far reaching power of the upper class that she otherwise never would have fully understood from her middle class upbringing. There was corruption on every level of the government, from the president, to the policemen. She saw how the whole country was run by who you know, and not what you know, as well as how much you were willing to pay. It drastically opened her eyes to the reality this was happening in the United States, a much larger government, on a much larger scale.

 

Panama was burning with entrepreneurial spirit. It seemed like anyone willing, was able to start and succeed in creating a business. Lindsey realized much of what prevented more people in the United States from doing the same, was simply mental barriers that were fortified by society. She decided that taking out a loan to complete college was a poor decision, and would only prevent her from carrying out her entrepreneurial dreams; she ultimately decided to drop out and return home to Minnesota.

​​

Work and Motherhood​ 

​

When Lindsey returned home to Minnesota, word of her keen intelligence caught the attention of a struggling auto repair shop owner. The business was struggling to stay afloat due to his high overhead costs, extreme debt, and dozens of maxed out personal credit cards. At just 19 years old, Lindsey took complete control of the business. She was able to manage the finances, pay off the entirety of the debt, and put the business on a thriving path towards success in under a year. Ultimately she decided to leave the job due to poor compensation.

 

At the age of 20, Lindsey got pregnant again. Despite pressure from her family to have another abortion, Lindsey knew that having a child would not hold her back, but simply give her more motivation to succeed. She got engaged and planned a future with her fiancée, confident she could fulfill all her dreams. Fortunately, her fiancée shared her vision for entrepreneurship and having a family business. Following the birth of their son he and Lindsey started a business that would enable them to have the family dynamic they desired. Their hard work, dedication, and lifestyle sacrifices, allowed Lindsey to be able to care for their baby without childcare or any government assistance. They took over what was left of a dying construction company that consisted of minimal equipment and a few maintenance accounts. The company evolved and grew rapidly gaining employees, assets, and new skillsets. Eventually they were able to purchase a building for the company, ensuring stability and continued success.

 

Operating a small business quickly dissolved her former liberal ideologies she had acquired in high school. The policies and restrictions implemented by Minnesota's liberal government constantly created obstacles and unnecessary challenges for them as small business owners. In the entirety of their business operation, not a single policy Minnesota passed, eased the burden of running a small business. Despite the challenges brought on by the government, they always found a way to succeed and ensure the wellbeing of their employees. Throughout this time Lindsey and her fiancée had two additional children and Lindsey was primarily able to focus on motherhood while taking on an advisory role of the business. 

 

Throughout this time Lindsey continued her pursuit and love for knowledge. She was determined to heal from the vaccine injury she acquired in High School, and reverse the many symptoms she had been suffering as a result. Following the birth of her first child, she went to the Mayo clinic seeking answers for her health, but only received an abundance of pharmaceuticals that caused more problems than they fixed. She quickly discovered that the current health care system was more concerned with profits and masking symptoms than solving root causes. Lindsey therefore became passionate in researching natural health care. She desired to heal herself and save her kids from also being victims to the medical system. She is proud to have raised her three children completely outside of the boundaries of the standard health care system.

 

Motherhood has been the most important, impactful, and fulfilling endeavor that Lindsey has partaken in. Nobody prepared her for the overwhelming love she experienced when having children of her own. She is deeply saddened that she was discouraged from doing so because of her age. Everything Lindsey did in life became exceedingly more meaningful because of her children. She is absolutely certain that without them, she would have spent years chasing success and happiness in empty and unsatisfying ways. Her absolute greatest success in her life is being a mother and raising God loving children; she is even more proud of herself for doing it young.

​

It took many years of research, and ultimately divine guidance from God, but she eventually successfully healed herself from over a dozen chronic symptoms and auto immune issues. Throughout this time, she learned the inner workings of how the government influences health care. Pregnancy, childbirth and caring for children, illuminated many faults rooted in financial incentives. Unfortunately these faults are often perpetuated and caused by government oversight and policies. 

​

Following the birth of her third child, Lindsey returned to college at Northwestern Health Sciences University believing her best chance at fixing the health care system would be to acquire formal credentials and get involved. Despite perfect grades while managing a household and business, this pursuit was cut short with the discovery of her fiancée's many affairs. After ten years of being only engaged and never married, she was put in an unthinkable position of having to walk away from everything they built together over the last decade. She was stripped of the business and financial security and found herself on the path of blind faith, knowing that God must have other plans for her life.

Faith 

​

Lindsey took an unconventional and rocky path towards finding Christ and becoming a devout Christian. She spent the beginning of her adulthood deeply entrenched in New Age ideology. Following her experiences in Panama, she regained belief in God, but naively thought there must be truth to all religions. Lindsey loved learning about the world's many faiths. She dabbled in all of them, adopting the parts she liked, and leaving the rest. Her pursuits regarding natural health perfectly complimented spiritual health and she quickly discovered how closely connected the two subjects were. She was devoted to being morally upright and adhered to most of the Ten Commandments, believing in karma as punishment. Lindsey tried a multitude of treatments desperately seeking healing, but she could gain temporary relief from her symptoms. Ultimately, she remained unhealthy and spiritually lost. At some point in 2020, in utter despair, she called out to God begging Him to save her. She had a divine encounter where He sternly spoke to her for the first time saying, "He had sent the Savior". Lindsey knew immediately and intrinsically that meant that Jesus Christ was absolutely real; and that her life, health, and future depended upon truly knowing Him. She began to direct her prayers to Christ, and asked Him to be revealed to her. She prayed for guidance on how to heal and was given divine direction on which treatment protocol would be the one to bring her the healing she desperately desired. Lindsey started the treatment protocol at the same time she devoted herself to Christ. What resulted was complete healing and reversal of all her symptoms.

 

Lindsey became devoted and obedient to Christ having overwhelming confidence and faith that she found the one and only religion anchored in complete truth. Ever since, Lindsey has been walking blindly by faith, never knowing what is next. She obediently follows the path God lays before her as He continues to provide in ways she never could have imagined. She has learned that God does not give anyone the entire map to their future, but instead reveals each next step when they're ready.

 

Some of these steps have included consuming the entire Bible, deeply engaging in theology, and even reading the Quran from a Christ centered perspective. Lindsey recently affirmed her faith in Christ by becoming a catechumen in the Orthodox church and is awaiting to be received. Throughout this journey of deepening her faith and theological knowledge, Lindsey did not realize it would lead her to engage in politics. However, in hindsight, it seems that God was preparing her for politics during her entire life.

 

In late 2025 Lindsey felt called by the Holy Spirit to run for U.S. Senator in Minnesota. Lindsey is not motivated by money or power, she is only motivated to be obedient in carrying out the will of God. She decided that is exactly what she was looking for in someone representing Minnesota in politics. No other candidate in Minnesota has ever adequately and proudly stood upon the foundation of Christian faith, and therefore she believes it is her duty to do so. No matter the outcome, she believes God has plans for what her campaign will accomplish in people's heart. Her vision and prayer for America's future is that the country reunites in their love of God and remains a beacon of freedom for the entire world.
