Capitol View

Walz raised more than the entire GOP field in the 1st

The Rochester Post Bulletin and A Blue Stem Prairie (which supports DFL Rep. Tim Walz) have been closely watching the fundraising race in Minnesota's 1st District.

I was reminded to check the FEC site today after the campaign for DFL Rep. Tim Walz issued a news release saying Walz has $750k in the bank. That's more than the four GOP candidates combined.

Remember, money ain't votes. If it were, Gil Gutknecht would still be representing the 1st.

And will you be labeling the support for candidates by all blogs you cite, or am I just special? Bluestem Prairie is not part of the Walz campaign, and I hope it was not you intent to have readers infer that it is. Is wasn't, was it?

I never intended that - just wanted to alert newer readers that you support Tim Walz. With all of the blogs out there (and more and more readers paying attention in this election year) I'm trying to be as clear (and as fair) as possible. No ill intent was intended.

Thanks for clarifying that. I look forward to your doing so.
