Wednesday evening, Republicans in House District 43B endorsed Brian Grogan on the first ballot to challenge Rep. John Benson (DFL-Minnetonka) this November, in a special endorsing convention. Grogan faced conservative activist Jeanette Cope for the endorsement.
Grogan promised to fight at the Legislature for smaller and more efficient government, a business-friendly climate, K-12 education, and individual liberty. He sees the residents of HD43B as center-right politically, and therefore sees himself in a good position to unseat Benson. He also cited his existing campaign infrastructure, supporters, and experience from his 2008 challenge of Benson as resources to help him begin his campaign immediately.

Dear Delegates, Alternates and Attendees and fellow Republicans of Senate District 43:
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all of you and to your families and friends. Out of respect for these Holidays and the priorities and preparation for this special time of year, the Nominating Committee meeting and interviewing of candidates is being rescheduled to a time in January 2010. I will keep you informed of the actual dates.
With the 2010 elections less than one year away and given the magnitude of their importance, I am also writing to provide you with an update and to inform you of the endorsement process.
First, you may have been contacted by some individuals interested in running for the Senate Seat, or the 43 “B” House Seat. We are pleased to have people interested in running and we are also confident that other qualified and experienced candidates will be coming forward to seek our party endorsement and ideally be elected by the public to serve as our representatives.
Second, the process of endorsement will occur at our SD43 BPOU Convention on Saturday, February 27, 2010 at the Wayzata Central Middle School. If at the BPOU Convention we are unable to endorse a candidate, then we will be required to make those selections as voters in the Primary Election on September 14, 2010.
Prior to the SD43 BPOU Convention on February 27, 2009 the Nominating Committee will meet and interview all the proposed candidates seeking Republican endorsement. The Committee will review their legal legitimacy, backgrounds and qualifications for elected office to ensure we are endorsing Republicans for candidacy in 2010. These interviews will occur in early January after the Holiday Season.
Thank you for your time and interest in the “grassroots” activities of our Republican Party. The world is run by those who show up. Enjoy this Holiday Season with your family and friends. If you have any questions regarding the endorsement process, then please feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely and Respectfully,
Greg Merz, Chair SD43 Republicans |
