RTPP State Candidate Forum Was Standing Room ONLY
The Rochester Tea Party Patriots held their first debate for the State of Minnesota’s legislative offices Thursday evening in front of a packed room with over 90 attendees. Even though not every candidate joined us for this extremely informative discussion, it was a very successful and insightful event.
It was disappointing that the Post Bulletin and other media outlets decided not to join us so that they could have had the ability to report firsthand about our event and the responses that the candidates gave to the questions directly from the audience.
We were glad to hear answers to questions ranging from the state budget to education and health issues coming from the audience. With the candidates we heard from we were able to learn more about where they stand and what issues are important to the people of Rochester and our surrounding communities. We thank Mr. Quam, Mr. Rolih, Mr. Senjem, Mr. French, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. O’Connell, and Mr. Benson for taking part in our discussion.
