State Rep. Phil Krinkie of Shoreview was the fourth Republican to announce his candidacy for Congress in the 6th District, announcing his intentions on February 25, 2005. Krinkie chairs the House Taxes Committee, and has been called "Dr. No" at the Capitol for his frequent "no" votes on spending bills. He says he's running for Congress because he's concerned about issues such as deficit spending and the Patriot Act.
His campaign ended on May 6, 2006 when the District 6 convention endorsed Michele Bachmann for the seat.
