MN GOP Endorses Rep Mark Olson for MN Senate 16

SC Times:

PRINCETON — Republicans in Senate District 16 on Thursday endorsed Rep. Mark Olson to be their candidate in a special election this fall to replace Sen. Betsy Wergin, R-Princeton.

Olson won the endorsement against Big Lake Republican activist Alison Krueger on the second ballot, Krueger said.

“The people who liked Mark showed up,” she said afterward. “If people in the district don’t like what happened, that can still change at the primary voting booth.”

Krueger’s name will remain on a Sept. 9 primary ballot, but she said she signed a pledge at the convention not to actively campaign for the seat.


I've said it before, Olson is going to win unless the opposition exposes Olson's PRT boondoggle.
