If you live in Senate District 35, it’s Primary day today.<\/p>\n

And I urge you to get out and vote for Andy Aplikowski.<\/p>\n

I almost never “endorse” candidates – but I’m going to urge those of you who live in 35 to vote for Andy. He’s a long-time friend of this blog, a former mayor of the MOB, and more importantly, a solid conservative who will do is bit to keep moving the Senate to the right.<\/p>\n

It’s a very red district – so, in effect, the election is happening today. \u00a0If the Democrats field someone, it’ll basically be a warm body on the ballot for appearance’s sake.<\/p>\n

He’s running in the primary against former long-time State representative Jim Abeler. Abeler’s a good guy; he’s been right on a lot of issues (he was as solid Second Amendment guy as they come). But he was a reliable vote for spending more money; he was one of the “Override Six” back in 2007, which voted to override Governor Pawlenty’s veto of the DFL’s epochal gas tax hike.<\/p>\n

Anyway – get out and vote for Andy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
