Republicans, independents and Democrats coming together to reject corruption and pave a path not paid for by corporate lobbyists, but by grit, sweat and our stories. Right. And pundits said they told me can't be done. We shrugged and we did it anyway. 18 months ago we got to work. We knew it wouldn't be easy. We did it anyway. And now I'm proud to stand before you as Southern Minnesota's next representative in Congress.
