With Minnesota State Sen. Justin Eichorn (R-Grand Rapids) having resigned in disgrace last month, the party primaries took place Tuesday evening to set up the general election tilt for April 29.
Since this district is heavily Republican, the winner of the GOP primary will likely coast to victory. I didn't have a proverbial dog in the fight, but I know definitively whom I didn't want to emerge victorious --- Jennifer Carnahan. And if her statement after her loss is to be believed, she totes didn't want it either.
Thank you everyone who supported me today in the special election. It was a short runway and our campaign was severely outspent, but proud of the work we did and the new connections made (so happy I don't have to door knock anymore).
This is odd to say, but I'm thankful I don't have to go to St. Paul and didn't win. I love being Mayor of Nisswa, have a new business to focus on this summer season and love living in my bubble that is the Brainerd Lakes Area.
Come by City Hall or my shops and say hello when you are in the area!
I wouldn't put it past her if this campaign was more an effort to gin up business for her shops. Anyhow, I can at least be in solidarity with Jenny in that I too am thankful she doesn't have to go to St. Paul.
For the record, Keri Heintzeman will move on to the special general election in two weeks against DFLer Denise Slipy.
Congrats, Keri!
