I know this man. Ashwin Madia is unquestionably the most, and I mean the MOST authentic candidate I have ever known. He is a fresh, principled face on an increasingly bitter battlefield. I have seen Ash remain composed and honorable while others meltdown in rattled hysteria. This is the man and the attitude I want representing me in this critical time.

All they can do is attack, there is no substance to be found. I don’t live in the 3rd district but I’m hoping those residing there make the right choice (Madia).

Rainman what you are saying is not true. During the endorsement fight Madia said repeatedly that he would let the Bush tax cuts expire, which is in fact a tax increase on just about everyone. It wasn’t until very recently that he started qualifying that by saying for people making over $250,000 figure. Madia has trouble telling the truth, and that will not go over well in this district. Interesting how in the report about negative campaigning KSTP calls Madia out for lying about running a positive campaign on the ads he approves.

More spin from a free falling Paulsen campaign. They are desparate and will try and slant the true story on Madia any way they can. To set the record straight on taxes: Madia has stated often that he would fight to extend the tax cuts for earners that make less than $250,000.00 a year net. This includes 98.6 % of all small business owners. Yes, those of you making more would have to loose some of your generous tax breaks that have helped us get $10 trillion dollars in deficit….probably not an appropriate time to extend these freebies to you folks, sorry. When we balance the budget, let’s talk.
