Word to the Wise for SD50 Voters

My friend Steve Taylor reminds us of a few important details at Enlighten New Brighton. Rae Hart Anderson has decided to run again for the state senate. She has a number of signs up in the district. Anderson is not the Republican candidate for the office. She sought the endorsement of the SD50 BPOU but was soundly rejected, for good reason.

Gina Bauman is the Republican candidate for this open seat. As Steve points out:

Gina Bauman is the GOP endorsed candidate and is the only true conservative in the race. Gina earned the endorsement at the SD50 GOP Endorsement Convention with about 90% of the vote. She has solid conservative credentials as a twice-elected member of the New Brighton City Council where she has diligently advanced fiscally responsible, limited government policies. While she is best known for her demonstrated knowledge of fiscal matters, she also impressed convention delegates with her strong stands on the need for government accountability, personal responsibility, and pro-family values that resulted in the impressive show of support for endorsement.

Rae Hart Anderson no longer has any affiliation with the GOP and is not a candidate in the upcoming primary election. She was the endorsed candidate in the last election four years ago where she had to struggle to barely get the required percentage of votes for endorsement after multiple ballots. Back then many of the delegates did not feel that any of the candidates were worthy of endorsement and were leaning toward not making an endorsement at all. Anderson sought the SD50 GOP endorsement again this year and, as noted above, was soundly rejected in favor of Gina Bauman.
