We have a country and a state where people are trying to rip each other apart and score political points. That’s not Kevin Staunton. Kevin is a common sense leader who knows how to roll up his sleeves and gets things done. – Mayor RT Rybak, Minneapolis
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
Campaign Kick Off: Kevin and Mayor Jim Hovland
This time around, let’s get the pragmatic, moderate, positive tone that Edina needs in the State Legislature. Let’s support Kevin Staunton. –Loren Hooyman
When the Legislature convenes in January of 2011, it will face a deficit of $6 Billion. Our current representative and his party’s candidate for Governor are wedded to an ideology dictating that only cuts to spending can address the deficit. Their approach guarantees dramatic cuts to our schools and dramatic increases to our property taxes.
I believe in a more responsible approach; an approach that faces the painful reductions we must absorb while preserving (and improving) the things – like our schools, transportation infrastructure, and environment – that have always made our community and our state a great place to live.
Put simply, this campaign is about whether we are going to dismantle the Minnesota Miracle and give up on our future or take responsibility for making the tough decisions today that will bring the next generation of Edina and Minnesota citizens the quality of life we have been so fortunate to enjoy.
I look forward to working together in the months ahead.
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.
