Maureen Reed has issued a statement about Elwyn Tinklenberg’s decision to drop out of the Sixth Congressional District contest. The former Independence Party Lt. Governor candidate is now one of two contenders vying for the DFL nod to challenge incumbent GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann. Here’s the statement:
“First and foremost, I want to thank El Tinklenberg for his dedication to public service. He has worked hard on behalf of the citizens of the sixth district and this state as Mayor of Blaine, State Transportation Commissioner and as a Congressional Candidate. El is a tremendous public servant. I wish him the best in his future endeavors.”

Maureen Reed has a good chance at the endorsement from the DFL.
My read on the situation is that it’s a dead heat between Clark and Reed. It’s a long way off from the endorsement and Reed is working doubly hard at getting it, while bringing in great in-state fund raising numbers.
In my opinion, Reed is the best candidate. She’s not tied to an extremely partisan voting record, she’s an expert in health care and education and she’s able to speak plainly and clearly on many topics. I really do hope she gets the nomination in the end.

good statement by Reed. I think she is the best candidate to unseat Bachmann.
