To the Editor:
I’m disappointed in Erik Paulsen. When he first entered Congress, I thought of him as someone who could be trusted to act like a Minnesotan, not another politician. But his recent actions show that if he ever was that person, he isn’t now.
His “attack dog” campaigning style is intended to confuse the voter into voting for him by purposefully misrepresenting his opponent’s record. That “detention center investment” by Dean Phillips amounted to $680, according to CD3DFL. That is thousands less than the $5,400 Erik Paulsen has received from PACs funded by those centers, according to opensecrets.org.
It’s clear that all Congressman Paulsen is interested in is getting re-elected. He doesn’t want to improve politics, he doesn’t want to run a clean campaign and he certainly doesn’t want informed voters.
