We have no explanation for this news

Austinstory Loyal readers may remember that Tim Walz defeated Gil Gutknecht in 2006. This news was widely reported and duly certified by the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Thus we  are stumped by an article in the Austin Daily Herald, Davis to again challenge Walz, that begins:

In his second run for congress, Rochester resident Brian Davis said he would again focus on solutions to issues varying from immigration and health care to energy.

“As an engineer and doctor, I’m used to looking at the problems we have in energy and health care,” the Republican said. “Then with the 2006 election, I saw the direction Congress was going … and decided that it was time for me to step up to the plate.”

Davis, a radiologist oncologist, lost the 2006 election to Rep. Tim Walz, DFL-Minn., in the state’s first district race. He repeated a similar platform for his bid this year: reducing energy prices through greater focus on U.S. drilling, nuclear power and coal production; market-driven federal policy on health care; and increased enforcement of illegal immigration.

That must have been an enlightening interview. No word on how Republican primary challenger Senator Dick Day fits into this picture.

Does Rupert Murdoch own the Austin Daily Herald?
