Letter - Cunniff over Franson in District 8B

Letter - Cunniff is listener, problem solver
If you are tired of divisive partisan politics, vote for Bob Cunniff.

Letter - That is the definition of an ineffective legislator
Rep. Mary Franson does not represent Greater Minnesota values and, by her own admission, will not have a strong voice for her constituents in House District 8B if she is re-elected.

Letter - Bob Cunniff represents core values of community
I have spent the better part of 20 summers at my family cabin on Lake Ida. To me, Alexandria is a second home, the citizens my neighbors. I cherish Alexandria’s common sense community values of hard work, fairness, and love of neighbor.

Letter - Comments seem to mirror the boiler plate DFL description
Playoffs are on. Games are tense. When our less-than-gifted kids come up to bat, the opposing coach is out of the dugout yelling and waving at his outfielders to come in closer to the infield, because “he’s not hitting it anywhere.”
