Letter: In support of Katie Sieben

To the editor,

Partisan gridlock has been strangling progress at all government levels. For some, working together and compromise have become bad words.

That’s why I’m concerned about Janis Quinlan and her campaign for state Senate. Back in April she was quoted in the South Washington County Bulletin that she would “vote along the (Republican) party line.”

To me that spells trouble. That means she would have voted to shut down state government in 2011, voted to borrow $2.4 billion from our local schools and voted for policies that increased local property taxes by double digits.

We don’t need another right-wing ideologue in the state Senate. Vote for Katie Sieben, a proven leader who will work with her partners across the political aisle to end gridlock and move Minnesota forward.

Sincerely,

Ed Kranz

Hastings
