Republican State Convention delegates will soon endorse the person they want to replace Sen. Al Franken in

the U.S. Senate. Many people – perhaps you – are still undecided, still have questions.

To help, we’ve taken a page from Ronald Reagan’s famous 1975 speech (before he was President), when he said the Republican Party should be “raising a banner of no pale pastels, but bold colors which make it unmistakably clear where we stand on all of the issues troubling the people.”

Nearly 40 years later, we need bold colors and bold leadership more than ever. And we need to be unmistakably clear on where candidates stand on the issues.

Thank you for reading. As always, I’m as close as 218/721-2163 if you wish to discuss the issues or simply say hello. I look forward to seeing you in Rochester.

Part of running for office is letting Minnesotans know where you stand on all the issues, so that voters can make informed decisions. These aren’t one-party issues, either.

Conservative Democrats (Reagan Democrats) share many of the same beliefs we Republicans have, so we need a candidate experienced at reaching them, as well. That’s Chris.

Chris Dahlberg will always give Minnesotans clear, direct answers.

Mike McFadden – No Mr. McFadden is attending the Republican State Convention in the hopes of getting the endorsement, but it’s really a moot point because he has said all along he’ll continue on to the primary no matter what.

Julianne Ortman – No full repeal Sen. Ortman said: “I’m not a full repeal person. I think the House of Representatives has voted 40 times to repeal it. The Senate is not going to repeal it. So if plan A is ‘Let’s do a repeal,’ we better start talking about Plan B. Because plan A got nowhere.”

Mike McFadden – Still reviewing In July 2013, Mr. McFadden said he was still reviewing the U.S. Senate bill. He did applaud the Senate’s work, which is troubling given the bill’s door-opener to amnesty without securing the border first.

Julianne Ortman – Changes her mind On April 22, 2014, Sen. Ortman’s “yes” vote on the Minnesota Senate’s “anti-spying” bill (SF2466) was the opposite of a position she’d earlier put forward. On her own Facebook page, Ortman defends the unwarranted accessing of cell phone data with programs like Project Kingfish.

Mike McFadden – Open to revisions Mr. McFadden said, “I would consider expanded background checks, specifically closing that gun show loophole.”

Julianne Ortman – Proposes taxes In an April 4, 2014, article, MinnPost said Ortman would need to “downplay the more moderate reputation she had as state senator from Chaska, a reputation that includes legislative proposals to raise taxes when the state was facing budget deficits.”

MinnPost went on to say that her tax increase proposals in 2009 and 2011 “cost Ortman the Republican endorsement for her state Senate seat in 2012.”

Chris Dahlberg – Yes Since the time my civics teacher encouraged me to volunteer with a political party when I was 16, I’ve worked with the Republican Party in Minnesota. I was honored at age 18 to be elected as a delegate for the 1980 state convention, where I first saw the importance of Republicans uniting behind one strong candidate. I still see the importance of respecting that process, and that’s why I am pledging to abide by the party’s endorsement.

Chris Dahlberg – Full repeal Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster. There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that our health insurance system is in dire need of reform. Healthcare is primarily a state issue. The answer is to immediately repeal Obamacare and replace it with free-market solutions that include allowing individuals to purchase plans across state lines and health savings accounts that encourage consumer participation.

Chris Dahlberg – Leave it alone There is no question mark at the end of the Second Amendment. It reads: “A well-regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

Its meaning is crystal clear. Unfortunately, many are working to take away this fundamental right. I don’t accept this. I will never waver from this belief.

Chris Dahlberg – Let’s cut taxes! We have a $17 trillion national debt, which is $55,000 for every man, woman and child in Minnesota! We don’t need to keep raising taxes, we need to prioritize and focus. When everything’s a priority, nothing’s a priority.

Washington politicians place the same emphasis on giving out free cell phones – I believe they’re called Obama Phones – as they give to providing flak jackets to Marines in Afghanistan!

Chris Dahlberg – Secure our borders I’m a fourth generation Minnesotan whose Finnish relatives settled on the Range over 100 years ago. We are a country of immigrants, and I am certainly not against legal immigration.

First, we secure the border. Period! Then, let’s discuss a new 21st Century immigration policy that puts America’s interests first.

Chris Dahlberg – Protect our civil liberties Senator Franken has been AWOL when it comes to protecting Minnesotans from government overreach like the NSA’s collecting data on U.S. citizens, or the IRS targeting of conservative and Tea Party organizations. The Constitution is clear in protecting our right to privacy. It is very troubling to me when elected officials, even from our own party, compromise on these basic and common sense issues. I will fight at every turn to protect our civil liberties from being compromised.
