Albert Lea resident and financial advisor, Rich Murray is seeking election for District 27A State Representative. “We seem to keep pushing everything down to our kids and grandkids — all the problems — and we need to stop that,” he said. “We need to take a look at things now and get some of the problems solved.

Current Discussions
Recent poll confirms that Minnesotans want better government. “There is a political volcano that’s gone off in Minnesota. We’ve got more than three-quarters who say that they never, or only some of the time, trust government,” Jacobs said. “We’ve got 55 percent who say that the federal government’s power is too much. We’ve got 61 percent who said they’d rather have smaller government with fewer services, and about half believe that President Barack Obama is moving the country towards socialism.”
