Representative Leadership

Logical Lady Sue Jeffers reports...

I stopped by the SD 41 endorsement convention to drop off some literature and ended up staying for the fun. The 308 people who showed up, read that part again, the 308 people who showed up had one thing on their mind, representative leadership.

Representative leadership has been missing for a long time in this district. One so called representative had been around almost 18 years, since 1990. Almost two decades of incompetence and ignorance of what was important to the people in this district. Almost two decades of telling his district they trend blue. No Ron, they don’t.

Taped to the chair backs was a lit piece that included endorsements and recognitions from the Sierra Club, the Transportation Alliance, AFSCME, MAPE, and the GOP Feminist Caucus (what IS that?). He proudly proclaimed support from the League of MN Cities, the Suburban Transit Association, the Coalition of Greater MN Cities, the MN Public Transit Association and the MN Transportation Alliance (LL notes - the same MN Transportation Alliance whose president - Doug Zila - is the DFL endorsed candidate for HD 35A...Correction - Zila was not endorsed this weekend - he just ran for endorsement LL).

Signs posted around the auditorium included Commuters Go for Erhardt, Drivers for Erhardt, Ron Builds Bridges. Another list of supporters included Jim Ramstad, Neil Peterson, Marty Seifert, Randy Johnson, Al Quie and Arne Carlson.

The signs and all the mainstream media present…well for a minute there I thought I was at a
DFL convention. I too will be waiting for Lori Sturdevant’s column; my elation may have gotten the better of me and I may have been a bit uncharitable to the RINO’s and the few RINO supporters there. OK, I was and I am not really very sorry.

Thank you SD 41 for decisively endorsing candidates who believe in limited government, lower taxes and fees, life, liberty and property rights. Thank you for soundly standing up for values and principles. Thank you for endorsing candidates who can actually articulate a winning message to all voters in your district. Thank you for showing up.

We know there is a lot of hard work ahead. We know there are lots of opportunities to help these candidates get elected. I personally pledge to help door knock for your endorsed candidates Jan Schneider and Keith Downey. Many of my new friends from the guest section are going to help too. A clear message, great conservative candidates, hard work is exactly the combination needed for conservatives to win.

A perfect example of the DFL, RINO assisted, incompetence was the transportation override vote, we have 89 more seats to target. Thank you SD 41, let’s get busy!

PS Neil Peterson deserves a bonus point for addressing his vote for the override in his opening remarks. I will not be sad to see both men go away, I only hope both have the grace and sense to go away quietly.

  • I am getting sick and tired of the pity party that Ron and Abeler are throwing around. Neither of these men will go quietly, unfortunately. They are both arrogant idiots. Get over it this is not the party leadership tossing your rear ends to the curbs it is the people that worked their tails off to get you elected for so many years!
