QUOTE GOP puts forth candidate for House District 27A
By Sarah Stultz, AlbertLeaTribune.com
Thursday, April 24, 2008 9:14 AM CDT
Albert Lean Erik Larsen is ready to make a difference in Minnesota politics.
If he gets the endorsement from the Republican Party during its nominating convention for the district next week, he will run against incumbent District 27A Rep. Robin Brown, a DFLer, this November.
Now, he works for the National Federation of Independent Business as a field sales representative. He spends his days driving around seven counties in southern Minnesota talking to small business owners.
He majored in business in college and has recently taken up a hobby of studying economics.
Outside of work, Larsen has been a board member and past president of the Bayside Skiers and played Freddy Jones in the “Scooby-Doo” ski shows during the summers of 2005 and 2006.
Other than the ski shows and sales, does anyone know what other experience he has?

QUOTE She defends her record with this? "a year of working at the State Capitol under her belt. She said she is a “professional educator” and possesses a master’s degree. She said she has life experience and shares the values of the district’s voters." 
I just hope he has more life experience as compared to Brown.

Maybe Brown can walk & chew gum at the same time. Does that count?
If SHE was a GUY, we'd be up in arms about the poor job our rep has done. UN-pc, so sue me!

I cannot find a single thing that was accomplished by her during her term. Please correct me with a list of her accomplishments.

Umm. The choice is between a poor unaccomplished educator-legislator, or a under employed former brick layer - NFIB representative. Talk about a plethora of great choices.

Brown was author of the bill for the park clean up. One for Brown.
My impression is that she's not very visible as far as accomplishments go. It's as if she's on the perifery of things. Maybe it is because she's new or that she's not very aggressive/assertive. My impresion is just "Blah."
So I am willing to be open to other's impressions. It's still a few months [feels like years] until the fall election. Educate me.
btw: I'm a democrat. Am I the only one unimpressed  so far with Mrs. Brown?

Garage Logic had Grand Meadow Superintendent Joe Brown and his wife, teacher and our state representative Robin Brown in his crosshairs yesterday. Give it a listen...jump ahead to the 24 minute mark.
It's priceless listening.
