I missed that former LT Governor (State Senator elevated to that office automatically against her preference) Michelle Fischbach is running against Colin “Pelosi!” Peterson.
It’s time to finally send him packing. Frankly it’s a must win.
Former nominee (16/18) Dave Hughes is also running. John Kline was elected on his third try if you recall.
Collin Peterson was elected on his 4th try. He ran for Congress in 1984, 1986, 1988 and 1990. He failed to get the nomination in 1988 because he was considered a perennial loser. He came back anyway on that 4th try to knock off GOP incumbent Arlan Stangeland.
The prior GOP nominee, Dave Hughes, is very cash-poor. He has only $18,500 on hand. State Sen. Michelle Fischbach has under $85k. Another candidate is leading in the money race, a Dr. Noel Collis has $129k.
Peterson still has over $900k. Dems are not going to be short on $$, as they have fully directed the biggest $$ to the freshmen members in GOP districts. Last I checked months ago, most will have at minimum $1 million, and likely far more.
