I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you and the people of Moorhead for the warm welcome I received in your community as I begin my task of convincing the citizens of western Minnesota that I am best suited to represent them in the United States Congress.
Throughout the next eight months I will be taking my message of hope, opportunity, security, jobs and a welcoming place for our young people, to each and every voter in the 7th Congressional District.
I hope you will join me as I work to demonstrate that I am the candidate best equipped to work with President Bush for Minnesota values, and with President Bush to get things done for our region.
