The funny thing about thin skin is how easy it is to get under it. Another blogger here recently wrote an article about Rep. John Kline skipping CD2 day at the Minnesota State Fair. The writer rightfully took John Kline to task for missing the one designated day at the State Fair where voters from […]
http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1 I have been seeing stories reported in the news that have raised some questions about what direction Pres. Bruininks is taking the U of MN in. Everything starts and finishes with the Gopher football stadium, which was partially funded by the school (state of Minnesota) and TCF Bank. It seems like Pres. Bruininks wanted […]
I find it very interesting that U of MN President Robert H. Bruininks wasn’t at the rally. Recently, funding was affected to the U of MN stem cell research program, which I believe doesn’t use only embryo stem cells but also adult stem cell’s. Why did Pres. Bruininks vow to getting alcohol sales back to […]
On Saturday, I reached out to one of my DFL contacts and he helped me obtain three VIP tickets so that I would be close to the action at the “GOTV For A Better Minnesota Rally”, with my friends Alex and Nate Kado. We went out and volunteered, at the Wright Building Saturday morning, in […]
Yesterday I read an article in the Star Tribune about how Joel Pourier stole more than $1 million from a charter school in Minneapolis. Pourier was hired by the school in 2002 as a finance director and was later promoted to executive director. When he applied for the position he listed on his resume that […]
Tonight a DFL Congressional District 2 Central Committee meeting was held at Lakeville’s Heritage Library. The meeting was called after the results of the primary showed that Shelley Madore won over DFL party endorsed Dan Powers. The committee needed to vote this evening to see if Madore would receive the party endorsement. It was great […]
Yesterday I went out to the Dakota County Fair to volunteer at the DFL booth. We had some volunteers and a candidate (Sigrid) in attendance. Sigrid Iverson is running for MN State House for 36B. It was a beautiful Minnesota day and I was surprised with the turn out of fair goers for the first […]
We are getting really close to the primary, August 10th to be exact. I saw the results yesterday of the KSTP/Service USA poll and it showed that Mark Dayton had around 43% of the vote and Margaret Anderson Kelliher had 27%. Leaving Matt Enteza with 22%. When you look at any type of poll, you […]
Three months ago today, I received the DFL endorsement to be the State Senate candidate in District 36. I was both excited and scared at the same time. Yesterday, I read this quote on my father-in-law’s Facebook page: “Regardless of your present situation you should proceed immediately to set a goal to achieve something so […]
Earlier this month I received my first piece of campaign literature from Education Minnesota about endorsed gubernatorial candidate, Margaret Anderson Kelliher. The piece was part biography to introduce educators to Kelliher and part legislative record showing how she has been a supporter of education in Minnesota. Within the last week, a new piece by Education […]
