Hann Responds to false media claim

President Donald Trump's  ground game & investments remain strong in MN. Now that Harris' lead has been cut in half since choosing Walz as her running mate, the Democratic ticket's lead in MN is - literally - within the margin of error. https://conta.cc/3Xhow2h

SwipeRed

Tad Jude, Bob Gust are both using it. CD3 has it - Ron Eckstam is talking with them about adding messaging on Absentee / early voting education. SwipeRed IS a key method to get OUR voters to the polls with knowledge about our candidates. ATTACHED are the instructions on HOW to download it / set it up. PLEASE do so right now – it doesn’t take long. We need all leaders using it. Call Ron Eckstam 612 508 2004 for 1) questions on setting it up and / or for 2) setting up a Zoom or in person training session for other volunteers helping you with the campaigns. 28 precincts in SD50 * 10 leaders / volunteers per precinct * 25 messages sent over the next 60 days = 7000 ‘touches’ of our voters. More than door knocking / calling. And you can message them in your pajamas.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR MN HOUSE SEATS 50A & 50B



GOP ENDORSED CANDIDATE  OWEN MICHAELSON 50A

A Note from Owen: 

As I write this newsletter we are approaching Labor Day, the traditional start to campaign season.  I have been working hard since my endorsement.  The purpose of this newsletter is to inform you of what I have been working on and tell you of upcoming events. I have been visiting neighbors in Bloomington and Edina precincts.  My goal is to visit every precinct and as many voters as I can by election day.  If I am to represent our city in the Minnesota House, I need to understand what people think.  I get many questions regarding my time on the Edina School Board.  I was the only member on the School Board that opposed the mandatory closing of schools during Covid.  My opponent supported the closing of schools.  Our kids are still suffering academically and mentally from that closure.   I advocated successfully for reading support programs for our youngest children.  Ability to read is the key to success in school.  Unfortunately, when the legislature approved this program, schools were mandated to implement the program without the money to support it. 

Lawn Signs: I would like to place a lawn sign in the yard of all my supporters.  If I can put one in your yard, send me an email to Owen4House.com.  Put “Lawn Sign” in the subject line and your name and address in the email.  We will put them in your yard on September 6 or shortly after.  We will collect them after the election.

Edina League of Women’s Voters 50 A Candidate Debate September 10: Please join us at the Edina City Hall at 6:30 pm for a debate between Owen and his opponent.  You will be able to submit questions which will be asked of both candidates.  Help support Owen at the debate and learn why he is the better candidate to be our representative at the Minnesota House. 

Meet Owen: Owen will be available to meet anyone on Saturday mornings at Jerry’s on Vernon.  He will be available on Saturday mornings from 7:45-8:45 am in the restaurant area.  This will be on 9/7, and 9/21.   

SD50 “Tailgate party” and Chili Cook Off Friday September 13: 5:00 pm start at Rosland Park Edina.  Meet Candidates from SD 50, SD46, and SD51.  Owen will be there along with Republican candidates in other races. Share your thoughts with them and enjoy the company of other good Republicans.  Cost is only $10 per person or $25/Family.  Kids 5 and under are FREE.  To sign up go to https://openwith.link/sd50gop....

Early Voting begins Friday 9/20: You can vote at the Edina or Bloomington City Hall weekdays during office hours beginning Friday 9/20.  Choose a time that is convenient for you, but make sure your vote is counted.  Otherwise vote on Election Day, Tuesday November 5 at your local precinct.

Website for Dalia Al Aqidi https://www.daliaforcongress.o...

I’m running because we deserve better
Our district is ethnically, religiously, and racially diverse. We should be represented by someone who reaches out to include and listen to everyone. We do not do well with representatives who pit groups against each other, where each group tries to present itself as most worthy of victim status. 

We need leaders who see residents as individuals, with their own dreams for themselves and their children. We need leaders committed to serving all residents, not just the few who share their political tribe.  We need leaders who are more interested in constituents than themselves, who will fight for all communities and hard-working families, rather than slices of the population and foreign influences. We need someone to better reflect our values in Washington.
Meet Dalia at the SD50 Tailgate Party on September 13th!

BORDER | DEBT | FOREVER WARS 

My top priorities are the border, debt, and forever wars. The 3 issues are inextricably linked. You can’t have a country without a BORDER… you can’t have a country $36 trillion in DEBT… You also can’t have a border when you defend everyone else’s borders more than your own. These critical issues can be addressed on day 1 of Donald Trump’s presidency. These three issues can drastically change our country and help add value back to American citizenship. That is our ultimate goal to bring value back to your citizenship.

Meet Royce at the SD50 Tailgate Party on September 13th!
