MINNESOTANS FOR REAL REPRESENTATION is a volunteer, grassroots, political action organization in Minnesota's Third District.
We have one goal.
TO REPLACE CONGRESSMAN ERIK PAULSEN IN 2018.
We take this pledge very seriously. We know that replacing Paulsen requires a massive effort and a lot of money. We're up against the Koch Brothers and other billionaires whose networks fund Erik Paulsen, advance a radical agenda and infiltrate every state. But we've got boots on the ground in the Third District to serve as a grassroots, countervailing force. Surrounded and supported by local citizen-activists, Minnesotans for Real Representation is developing and executing key strategies to flip Minnesota's Third Congressional District in 2018.
Why are we doing this? Paulsen is advancing the extreme Trump/Ryan agenda, and failing to providing his constituents with anything that resembles real representation. A real representative would actually meet with his constituents in a face-to-face town hall. A real representative would not vote for policies that will harm his constituents.
As a conservative Republican in a moderate to left-leaning district, Paulsen has a 97.2% Trump Score on fivethirtyeight.com, one of the highest Trump scores in the House. But in 2016 Hillary Clinton took the district by more than nine points, which was a clear rejection of the harmful Trump/Ryan agenda.
Many of the good people of the Third District voted for Paulsen thinking he would be a moderate voice in Congress, but his votes tell another story. Paulsen supported the unpopular and harmful AHCA bill that would hurt his own constituents, and a Tax Reform bill that will raise taxes on people in nearly every tax bracket while ballooning the deficit.
That's not right. That's why we're taking action to Replace Paulsen.
Minnesotans for Real Representation is not affiliated with any candidate or candidate's committee.
