In an e-mail to the Anoka County Union, Jim Wilson, 27, Ramsey, announced that he plans to challenge Abeler for the Republican endorsement in District 48B.
Married with two children, Wilson is a systems engineer (IT). He spent five years in the U.S. Navy and was honorably discharged.
You would think that Wilson was a day late and a dollar short, given that Abeler’s endorsing convention was last weekend, but the Chair of his Senate District indicated that another convention is on the horizon.
But Senate District 48 GOP Chairman Dan Emery said that a candidate has expressed an interest in seeking the party’s endorsement for the seat.
Emery has been in touch with the Minnesota State Republican Party, which has told him that it would prefer that an endorsed candidate be in place prior to filings opening for office in early July, he said…
At this point, no date has yet been set for another endorsing convention in House District 48B, according to Emery.
Has the MN GOP’s bullying had an effect on Abeler? Nope.
Abeler has had no second thoughts about voting for the bill and to override the governor’s veto, he said.
“I voted my conscience,” he said.
