David Sturrock - 7th District
SNAPSHOT
David Sturrock hopes to follow in the footsteps of Republican congressmen John Kline and Mark Kennedy in Minnesota. Both knocked incumbent DFLers out of Congress, and helped forge an ideological split in the Minnesota congressional delegation with four Republicans and four DFLers.
Sturrock's challenge is that he faces Collin Peterson, a member of the "Blue Dog" coalition and one of the more conservative Democrats in Minnesota.
Sturrock has been a delegate to the congressional district and state Republican Party conventions, an alternate to the Republican National Convention, a member of the Minnesota Republican State Central Committee, and a steering committee member in Minnesota for President Bush, Gov. Pawlenty and Congressman Kennedy.
He has served on the Marshall City Council and is also a member of the Marshall Chamber of Commerce, as chairman of its Government Affairs Committee.
