I'm happy to say our campaign waged an aggressive challenge and put District 53A back in the conservative column -- thanks to help from so many of you!  We capitalized on strong public support for spending reforms, smaller government, jobs and economic growth.   I now look forward to joining a committed Republican Majority in the House that puts principled governance in action at the Legislature in January!  

But that's only the half of it -- Republicans, in a scarcely believable turn-over of the MN Senate, came up with 15 newcomers to achieve a 37-30 majority there - adding up to Republican control of both bodies of the Legislature.  See all vote totals at this Secretary of State website:
