TERI'S TAKE
A NOTE FROM OUR SD50 CO-CHAIR, TERI HOVANEC
Independence Day is a chance to remember and celebrate the progress our nation has made since
its inception and a reminder of the spirit of the American people and their ability to overcome
adversity.
“Saving democracy” has been the battle cry of the 2024 election cycle. It is important
to remember that a healthy democracy allows for diverse perspectives and healthy debates, which
are imperative for effective governance and policy-making. For Republicans, maintaining a
democratic system means upholding the rule of law, promoting limited government, and ensuring
that the government's power is derived from the consent of the governed. For Democrats . . . well,
let’s just agree that they are struggling in understanding what the definition of “democracy” is.
Republicans continue to advocate for policies that reflect their values and principles while
contributing to the stability and prosperity of our communities and our state. SD50 is beyond
excited to have two solid candidates for Minnesota House 2024 in Owen Michealson (50A) and
Bob Gust (50B). We will be posting details on events and fundraisers for both Owen and Bob to
be held in the coming months that will give SD50 constituents opportunities to meet the candidates
and understand why we are so excited they are running. To have two exceptional candidates for SD50,
both of whom are strong conservatives who believe in the strength of our democracy, is worth
celebrating this July 4.
It's going to be a very exciting election season! Together we can do this!
