About six years ago, Boelter was appointed to the Minnesota Governor's Workforce Development Board by Democratic Gov. Tim Walz. But what exactly does being appointed to that board mean?

State records show Boelter served two consecutive three-year terms on the development board, first appointed by then-Gov. Mark Dayton in 2016. Three years later, Walz reappointed him.

A spokesperson for Walz's office gave this statement to WCCO on Tuesday:

"There are thousands of volunteers of all political persuasions who serve on hundreds of these boards. That particular board has over 60 people on it. The Governor does not interview applicants for these roles and he does not know Boelter. They are not appointments to a position in the Governor's cabinet. These boards and commissions have no authority to make decisions, change laws, or implement policies."

According to the development board's website, it "represents key leaders from business, education, labor, community-based organizations, and government," with the board providing "a venue for workforce stakeholders building on a shared vision and mission."
