Press Release: <\/p>\n
Harry Welty will file for Congress this morning at the Secretary of State\u2019s office for Minnesota\u2019s 8th congressional District which will pit him against Congressman Pete Stauber in the August 13th Republican Primary. It is Mr. Welty\u2019s fourth attempt to unseat Stauber prompted by Stauber\u2019s support of former President Trump despite Trump\u2019s call for the January sixth, 2001, attack on the Nation\u2019s Capital. <\/p>\n
According to Welty, \u201cUnlike Pete Stauber who twice broke his oath to God to defend our democracy, Harry Welty never thought treason was \u2018our way of life.\u2019\u201d So says a bookmark advertising Welty\u2019s recently published book<\/a> \u201cNot your usual Republican.\u201d Subtitled \u201cPro-Trump = Anti-Lincoln,\u201d the book\u2019s sales will be used to finance the Welty campaign. <\/p>\n Welty is a household name in Duluth, a city that accounts for one third of the vast Eighth Congressional District\u2019s vote. He has served on the Duluth School board for three terms and brought suit against the Duluth District when it denied voters a chance to vote on a half billion dollar school building plan in 2008. A locally celebrated snow sculptor Welty is also a writer and active blogger at lincolndemocrat.com. The first page of Welty\u2019s book notes that polls show that 65% of Americans fear for the nation\u2019s democracy. Welty is calling on all Eighth District voters regardless of party preference to vote in the upcoming August 13th Republican primary. This Minnesota voting right can assure that Congressman Stauber\u2019s name will not appear on the Republican ballot in the Fall election.<\/p>\n For more information contact Harry Welty at:<\/p>\n XXX-XXX-XXX or email him at harrywelty@charter.net.<\/p>\n More information can be found at www.weltyforcongress.com<\/a> or www.lincolndemocrat.com<\/p>\n
