Here’s the press release:<\/p>\n
Republicans in Saint Paul’s Senate District 66 have endorsed Greg\u00a0Copeland to run in the April 12 special election. Ellen Anderson is vacating\u00a0the district after nearly two decades in office.<\/p>\n
“We are running this race to win”, says Copeland, former manager of the City of\u00a0Maplewood.<\/p>\n
“Last fall’s elections show that people across all party lines are concerned\u00a0about the economy, the efficiency of our government, and this nation’s future”,\u00a0Copeland said. Copeland is running on a platform of job creation and property\u00a0tax reform. “I’m running to protect families and businesses from job-killing<\/p>\n
taxes and ballooning government spending. The people of this district deserve a\u00a0representative in the Minnesota Senate who will work on their behalf over the\u00a0next two years as part of the majority”.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
