Tinklenberg campaign chief has record of defeating GOP incumbents

Dana Houle has a track record of knocking out Republican incumbents. In 2006 he helmed Paul Hodes’ campaign in New Hampshire, defeating the sitting Republican after losing by 20 points two years earlier. Then in 2008 he oversaw Jim Himes’ successful challenge to 10-term Republican incumbent Chris Shays in Connecticut. Now Houle will be leading Elwyn Tinklenberg’s effort to unseat Michele Bachmann in Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District.
