One of the hardest working journalists in Minnesota, the New Ulm Journal's josh Moniz has hustled his way into the league of larger papers' coverage this cycle, joining the Mankato Free Press's Mark Fischenich and Post Bulletin's Heather Carlson as one of our must-reads.
With last night's catch of Mike Parry's strange and tasteless remark about Governor Dayton popping pills, it's likely that more folks will start following the young reporter. Blois Olson writes in today's Morning Take:
DRIVING: A quote that will drive part of the news day today, from the Brown County GOP picnic last night. Via YouTube from the New Ulm Journal’sJosh Moniz, video of CD1 candidate for Congress State Sen. Mike Parry. QUOTE: “I sat across from Gov. Dayton. This is a scary man for the state of Minnesota. I negotiated with him. I asked him to resign. I fought him when he tried to take away the veterans benefits. I stood up to him and he lost…I wanted 21 reforms for the state of Minnesota without budging I got 13…The most liberal Governor in the United States. When you sit across from him and watch him pop 15 to 16 pills while you’re having a meeting, it’s scary. We all know how scary Obama is, its at the same level.” WATCH: http://bit.ly/NlmqmP
FOLLOW: Josh Moniz is a must follow on Twitter if you’re tracking the CD1 race. @Josh_Moniz
