Diana Klisch, St. Joseph
It is no wonder we only see Anne Buckvold lawn signs across the city of St. (Joseph) and across our district.
She cares, she is reasonable, she works hard and she gets things done. These are all qualities I would like to see reflected at our Minnesota Legislature. On the issue of the Northstar extension, she brought people together across party lines – in our community and at the Legislature. I know she will be a great representative because she listens well and knows that compromise is part of good statesmanship. She wants to work for the people to get the best possible outcome for us all.
She helped get Republicans leading on this issue of rail investment. A lead Republican-created legislation to extend Northstar, and a majority of Republicans went along with the bill, HF3691. Then it passed all committees in the Republican-led house. What has happened to derail this initiative? Republican rhetoric has been anti-rail since the session blew up. Republicans are divided – our Legislature is stuck. We need government for the people by the people that works together as a team for the common good. Anne is the one to represent us to work to solve the problems with good policy creation and get things done.
Let’s send Anne Buckvold down to St. Paul so she can help pull apart the log-jam and work in a spirit of collaboration on the many problems that face our cities, state and ultimately the country and world. I support Anne and hope she will get your vote in November.
