RELEASE: MNGOP ISSUES CALL TO ACTION!
Aug 1, 2016The Republican Party of Minnesota last week released the following email to voters, urging voters to stand with endorsed candidate Jason Lewis in next Tuesday’s Republican primary.
Jason Lewis is the Republican-Endorsed candidate, and for VERY good reason!
Vote for Jason in the primary, Tuesday, August 9th!
Or vote early,
After the largest Republican caucus turnout in history, the 2nd Congressional District Republicans representing those caucus-goers endorsed Jason Lewis at their convention.
And for good reason! Jason Lewis is the strongest candidate and draws the clearest, sharpest contrast with radical Angie Craig!
At the time, Darlene Miller’s campaign manager blasted the Republican endorsement process and insulted Republicans in a memo to supporters, a strange way to start asking for Republicans’ votes in the primary:
“Jason Lewis won the endorsement. So what.”
“The endorsement now has very little effect on the Republican primary”
“Currently, the endorsement process is not capable of winning primaries”
“Disappointingly, the Republican Party brand is badly tarnished”
Now trailing Jason badly in the polls, the Miller campaign is apparently trying to make it look like she is the Party’s candidate with these phrases in a recent memo:
“the Republican Party and Darlene Miller”
“Republican Darlene Miller”
To be clear, Jason Lewis is the Republican Party’s endorsed candidate and has a huge lead. And if Miller wishes to earn the support of 2nd District Republicans, she needs to explain her close ties to national Democrats:
Darlene Miller may be running in the Republican primary, but our choice is Republican-Endorsed Jason Lewis!
Vote for Jason Lewis Tuesday, August 9th!
Or vote early.
Jason Lewis spent 25 years on the air as a voice in the conservative movement. An active Minnesota resident for two decades, he and his wife Leigh have two young daughters, Lindsey and Lauren. Jason organized the first annual tax rally that has become a tradition in St. Paul, with thousands gathering to fight to keep more of what they earn. Jason is also an author, public speaker, and started his career as a business owner running Lewis Motor Supply, a small business founded by his grandfather.
