Congressional Candidate Tom Emmer Opens Campaign Office in Otsego

As part of his bid to fill the upcoming vacant seat for Minnesota's Sixth District, congressional candidate Tom Emmer recently opened a campaign office in Otsego.

The office opened Aug. 8 with more than 150 in attendance, according to a campaign representative. The office is open weekdays 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. in suite 112 of the Otsego Marketplace, at 9175 Quaday Ave. NE. 

“It was inspiring for so many people from across the sixth district and beyond to be in attendance," said Emmer.  "All of these party leaders, legislators, donors, activists and volunteers are citizens concerned about this country.  They're willing to take a stand to protect what's important to them and help me bring a pro-growth message from Minnesota's Sixth District to Washington."

Emmer, a former state representative and 2010 gubernatorial candidate, entered the race in June after U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann announced via YouTube she would not seek re-election in 2014.
