Tim Utz was endorsed by the HD 50A Republicans on Tuesday night. From Tim's campaign website:

I am seeking your support for Minnesota State House 50-A. “We the People” must take charge of government and personal responsibility for our lives. I seek to represent the citizens of in Minnesota House seat 50-A, making sure Minnesota stops expanding, takes a time out, self evaluates, goes on a diet, and gives Minnesota citizens our constitutional freedoms back.

On Wedneseday night 62A endorsed Dave Shegstad, and 62B endorsed Jeff Gunness. From the SD-62 website:

Conservative small business owner and property rights advocate, Dave Shegstad received the Republican endorsement for his run against DFL incumbent Jim Davnie in House District 62A on Wednesday, June 25th.

The brief convention was held at the Kenwood Community Center.

Shegstad spoke about LRT issues, the need to stop pushing business out of Minnesota and talked about ideas to bring industry back to Minneapolis. One of Dave's suggestions was to try to attract lucrative turbine manufacturing to Minneapolis to create new jobs.

Shegstad's first leap into politics was when he ran for Minneapolis' Ward 9 City Council seat in 2005. The bid was unsuccessful, but Dave says it was a learning experience and he's ready to take on Davnie this fall.
