As with the 8th CD, that means a strong field of candidates. Republicans should be concerned that Democrats are putting up good candidates.
Down here in the 1st CD, we have a Slate of good candidates as well. Dan Feehan appears to be the strongest of the bunch who will likely be the DFL Candidate to take on Carla Nelson or Jim Hagedorn. This is Hagedorn's 3rd try. Both he and Carla Nelson a State Senator from Rochester, are both Trumpers.
There was an interesting letter about them in our paper, the Post Bulletin, about their silence about all the shit that has gone down with Trump since last fall. Both have embraced Trump in all his policies. Dan Feehan an Iraq war veteran, worked in the Obama administration for a time. He is also an area raised man with a very god head on his shoulders. He knows the issues and is aware of all the Republican lies.
What Democrats need to stay tuned on are the issues that affect every day people. Health Care, the Farm economy, Education, fair taxation , good paying jobs, good wages, etc. The fact that Republicans want to gut Social Security and Medicare, will punish the growing population of Seniors in the 1st CD. Not to mention in the rest of Minnesota.
