The two NFTs make up half of Jensen’s “Scott at the Fair!” collection, with 25,000 of each edition available to purchase for $5.
Purchasing one of the NFTs unlocks access to a rewards program of prizes throughout the campaign, such as the opportunity to meet Jensen and watch a Minnesota Vikings football game with former Viking Matt Birk.
Because the purchase constitutes a donation to Jensen’s campaign, there are limitations on who can purchase the NFTs and in what quantity. Maximum donations are $4,000 per person or $8,000 per couple.
Jensen will take on incumbent Gov. Tim Walz, a member of the Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, in the state’s 2022 gubernatorial election.
