US Representative to the House, District 3
Jim Meffert
I'm very familiar with Meffert's stand on the issues, and agree with them fully.
State Senator District 47
Leo Foley
Leo Foley is a centrist Democrat who has done a great job to date.
State Representative District 47A
Denise Dittrich
Dittrich has been a great representative.
Governor/Lt Governor
Mark Dayton/Yvonne Prettner Solon
Dayton will implement progressive Minnesota-like policies, and push for (or allow the legislature to develop) sane tax policies (i.e., tax the rich more, then get stuff done). The election is quite close, so every vote for Dayton counts, depending on what numbers you accept.
Secretary of State
Mark Ritchie
Ritchie showed himself to be an excellent secretary of state during the ... well, you remember, we need not speak of those days ...
State Auditor
Rebecca Otto
Otto is a progressive, conservation oriented highly competent auditor. Anderson, seeking to get her job back, was a moron. See this.
State Attorney General
Lori Swanson
Lori Swanson kicks ass as Attorney General
County Sheriff
James Stuart
I picked Stuart based on his experience.
County Attorney
Brad Johnson
Close call. I've heard from people who know people who are people and Ive decided to support Johnson.
Soil and Water Conservation Districts 3 and 4
I am opposed to all of the candidates. I will write someone in. Any suggestions?
Mayor of Coon Rapids
Tim Howe
Tim seems to have done a fine job, and the opposing candidate, Dave Nelson, has not allowed interviews or otherwise distributed information about himself as far as I can tell.

Hmm, I've never paid the Soil and Water Conservation District dudes much attention. I probably should though, since soil and water conservation is very important to me. What do you know about them that I should?
First, we know this: No one knows what they do. Second, there is often a crazy faction, I think, that runs for this office.
You can read all about them here:

I too am totally sane since I rob people and get stuff done with the money. Only the rich, though. Bastards.
Hmm, I see what you mean.
How about Greg Laden?
If nominated I will not run. If elected I will not serve.
Public office should be conscripted. The desire to run for an elected office is a disqualification, imo.
You're it, Greg.
