I just read the cute comment by Roger Reinert who got a little free publicity in a non related Trib story today:
“I have nothing to officially announce this afternoon,” he said, referring to Tuesday’s news that he will run for the state Senate seat being vacated by Yvonne Prettner Solon.
Like a lot of other politicians in the one party state of northeastern Minnesota Roger knows that when one pol retires the underlings get a bye into an advanced office……….if they can win the primary.
I’ve got the names of over 2,000 contributors in his district who GAVE donations to Let Duluth Vote to stop the Red Plan. Since Roger was for the Red Plan he could be in for a very tough primary. Hell, I’d help manage the campaign of any decent pro voter candidate who wanted to challenge him for what I suspect could be a pretty easy victory in the August primary.
Filing closes on Monday. If anyone is interested they should give me a call.
