The daughter of Republican Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Jeff
Johnson was stabbed to death in a botched murder-suicide over the
weekend — leading her father to abruptly suspend his 2026 campaign. 

Hallie Marie Tobler, 22, was discovered dead with multiple stab wounds
inside her locked apartment in St. Cloud after cops responded to a
medical emergency on Saturday evening, according to the St. Cloud Police
Department. 

Tobler’s husband, 23-year-old Dylan Michael Tobler, was also critically
wounded inside the home with what investigators believed to be
self-inflicted stab wounds, police said. 

Dylan, who is now in stable condition, has been taken into police
custody and is expected to be hit with homicide charges in connection
with Hallie’s death following his release from the hospital, cops added. 

Johnson, a former St. Cloud city councilman who launched his bid for the
Republican nomination for Minnesota governor in March 2025, has decided
to suspend his campaign following the “tragic loss” of his daughter, the
Minnesota Republican Party said in a statement Monday. 

“There are no words that can adequately express the sorrow we feel for
Jeff and his family. The loss of a child is unimaginable, and our
thoughts and prayers are with them as they grieve this devastating
tragedy,” the statement said. 

“Out of respect for his family and the enormity of this loss, Jeff has
suspended his campaign for Governor of Minnesota. We ask all Minnesotans
to join us in lifting up the Johnson family during this incredibly
painful time.” 

Johnson ran a campaign that was tough on crime, immigration and fraud in
the North Star State, which has become the battleground of ICE
operations and clashes between protesters and federal officers in recent
months. 

House Speaker Lisa Demuth is the current frontrunner among GOP
candidates in the state’s gubernatorial race, followed by US Army
veteran and former business executive Kendall Qualls and “My Pillow” CEO
Mike Lindell, according to KSTP. 

Four-term US Sen. Amy Klobuchar is running as the unchallenged
Democratic gubernatorial candidate in her home state after Gov. Tim Walz
suspended his campaign last month.
