Republican Congressman Chip Craavack keeps getting bad news. It was just announced that his family is moving to New Hampshire and today it appears he is in a fight over whether his campaign owes $32,000 to the law firm belonging to the brother of his campaign manager.
Yesterday Chip defended the Republican Congress’s intransigence on the debt limit negotiations meanwhile one of the big stories in his District’s biggest City today is how the government shut down my cause a year delay in work on the new airport. How many times will similar stories crop up across Chip’s huge district if the Government is shut down and Chip starts running for reelection? What will his District even look like? The drawing of lines for reapportionment has yet to be finalized. I doubt that the New Hampshire residency will complement his campaign even in a different Minnesota District.
