Sixty three percent of us wanted more moderate representation in the last election.  I have concerns about the votes that have occurred with the new representative in the areas of education, healthcare and eldercare. –Virginia Kearney

This time around, let’s get the pragmatic, moderate, positive tone that Edina needs in the State Legislature. Let’s support Kevin Staunton.

I’m thrilled Kevin is in the race.  He  listens across party lines, researches and evaluates thoughtfully before making decisions. He is just the kind of representative that we need in government during these challenging times.

We need leaders with courage to address today’s problems today–not put them off for someone else to solve tomorrow. -Kevin Staunton

Kevin Receives DFL Endorsement with 81 Percent of Votes

Thank you to all who came out for the 41A DFL District Convention on March 6.  With the help of supporters and volunteers we moved from the caucuses on Feb. 2 to the district convention on March 6 as the clear choice of our party. 

I am honored to receive the support of Edina Democrats.  I look forward to working hard and winning in November.  We need to restore responsible, moderate representation for Edina and I intend to do just that. 

What’s Next?  It is time to campaign and reach the rest of Edina.  I knocked on 7,000 doors in the last campaign and I’m gearing up to do the same thing beginning this month.  What I know about Edina is that we like to do things right the first time and take responsibility–responsibility for our community, for our finances and for our future.  Right now, our current representative isn’t doing that.  His solutions are penny wise and pound foolish. It is time for change.

I am concerned we are creating high-cost problems for the future.  There is not a single state education system that has been allowed to fail and then rebounded–regardless of resources.  We cannot attract new business and emerge as the leader Minnesota once was by allowing this and other valuable infrastructure to deteriorate.

This will not be easy.  But, together we can make it happen.  Consider helping by talking to your friends and neighbors, making a donation or signing up to volunteer.

Once elected, I can still not do it alone.  We also need more responsible voices in our state government.  The democrats endorsed another great candidate, Steve Elkins (41) for the Minnesota Senate.  Take a look at his campaign and then let’s work to put a team together to solve Minnesota’s challenges and make sure we maintain the quality state we have all enjoyed. (If you are in 41B, your incumbent was endorsed, Paul Rosenthal.  Be sure to visit his website and give him your vote and your support.  He is doing a tremendous job for you.)

As always, thank you for your interest and support.  If you have questions, let us know at 952 836-1020 or kevin@stauntonforhouse.org.  Send us your e-mail so we can stay green and keep in touch.
