Bluestem's been following Nathan Miller's write-in campaign for Minnesota Senate District 9 for the last two weeks, from our September 13 entry, After losing primary, has Miller launched write-in campaign, attacking "establishment GOP"? through Pelican Rapids Press examines challenges facing Nathan Miller's write-in campaign for MN9 seat.
Now the Fergus Fall Journal has posted a lively article, Not done yet: Senate District 9 candidate becomes write-in. Bluestem's favorite passage in the James Allen report:
. . . Miller said he is adamant that he only wants to represent the people and not the Republican party.
“He’s (Rasmusson) out there touting now or has been, that (Sen.) Bill Ingebrigtsen said I would fit in really well down there you know. Jeff Backer, Bud Nornes, all these other people that claim he’s (Rasmusson) a conservative or a Republican or whatever he is. Those people, although we might be coming from the same party, we may be coming from different wings of it and I know those people fall in line down there and that is not my intention with the party. My intention is to always be speaking about truth, transparency and integrity, as well as standing up for our constitutional freedoms. That doesn’t go well with party politics,” said Miller.
Miller discussed how a supporter in Stillwater, on a previous weekend, at a campaign event for a person running for senate down there told the Miller supporter that they didn’t want that Miller guy down there.
“They don’t like the cowboy hat, they don’t like the shirt, they don’t like the gun, they don’t like any of that stuff. That’s too much. No, no. It’s literally coming down to appearances and what it is that I look like or dare I contend to take on the party bosses or the powers that be,” said Miller. . . .
