Ever since I ended one of my columns with the tag line saying I didn&#8217;t know what an AI ap would say about me I wondered in fact what it would say. Frankly the response which was returned in a second impressed me. When I emailed myself the link each portion of it listed where the information came from. None of it was picked up from my blog or other websites I manage. The closest was whatever it gleaned from the Duluth Reader website although at the end it directs Anonymous (which was me) to read further at Lincolndemocrat.com<\/p>\n<p>ChatGPT said:<br \/>\nHarry Welty is a long-standing figure in Duluth, Minnesota&#8217;s political landscape, known for his independent views and frequent candidacies. His career spans education, local activism, and multiple runs for Congress.<br \/>\nen.wikipedia.org<br \/>\n+2<br \/>\nreddit.com<br \/>\n+2<br \/>\nduluthnewstribune.com<br \/>\n+2<\/p>\n<p>Duluth School Board and the Red Plan<br \/>\nWelty served three terms on the Duluth School Board between 1996 and 2017. He was a vocal critic of the district\u2019s \u201cRed Plan,\u201d a nearly $300 million facilities overhaul that involved closing several schools and building new ones without a public referendum. Welty co-founded the &#8220;Let Duluth Vote&#8221; initiative, advocating for community input and transparency in the decision-making process.<br \/>\nfox21online.com<br \/>\nmprnews.org<br \/>\n+1<br \/>\nduluthreader.com<br \/>\n+1<\/p>\n<p>In 2014, Welty was censured by the school board for publicly disclosing confidential information, including the purchase price of a former high school property and a privileged attorney letter related to an internal investigation. He acknowledged the breach and voted in favor of his own censure as a public apology.<br \/>\nduluthnewstribune.com<\/p>\n<p>Congressional Campaigns<br \/>\nWelty has run multiple times for Minnesota\u2019s 8th Congressional District seat, challenging Republican incumbent Pete Stauber in the GOP primaries of 2018, 2020, and 2024. Despite identifying as a Republican, Welty is a staunch critic of former President Donald Trump and the current direction of the GOP. He positions himself as a &#8220;Lincoln Republican,&#8221; emphasizing traditional conservative values and expressing concern over the party&#8217;s alignment with Trump.<br \/>\nreddit.com<br \/>\n+4<br \/>\nfox21online.com<br \/>\n+4<br \/>\nduluthnewstribune.com<br \/>\n+4<\/p>\n<p>Public Persona and Activism<br \/>\nBeyond politics, Welty is known for his creative snow sculptures displayed outside his Duluth home. These sculptures often carry political messages; for instance, he created a snow sculpture depicting President Trump as a New Year\u2019s baby in 2019, which was later vandalized. In 2022, he crafted a sculpture supporting Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.<br \/>\nreddit.com<br \/>\n+3<br \/>\nnewstribuneattic.wordpress.com<br \/>\n+3<br \/>\nfox21online.com<br \/>\n+3<br \/>\nfox21online.com<br \/>\nfox21online.com<\/p>\n<p>Welty also maintains a blog, lincolndemocrat.com, where he shares his views on politics, education, and local issues.
