Rep. Kurt Zellers speaks at Reid Johnson's Campaign Kickoff
April was an incredibly busy month! We had conventions, socials and training sessions which so many of you participated in. We on the Executive Committee offer a heartfelt thank you to all the delegates, alternates precinct leaders and neighbors who have shown up and taken an interest in political issues here in SD-45.
April excitement culminated in the MNGOP Convention this past weekend where our elected delegates had the difficult task of choosing the Party’s candidate to endorse to run for Governor of Minnesota. In the end, Tom Emmer won the support of the majority after two ballots were cast. Marty Seifert was gracious in defeat as he immediately encouraged supporters to take off their Seifert stickers and put on Emmer stickers. We have a fantastic slate of statewide and local candidates who need our support now through November.
Our thanks to Marty Seifert, Bill Haas, Phil Herwig, and Leslie Davis with their volunteers for their hard work on hard-fought campaigns. Tom Emmer won the endorsement April 30 after Marty Seifert conceded when the third ballot was being counted. Here's the Emmer state convention video:
