Former investment banker; outsider with no voting record
Led by former Minnesota U.S. Sens. Norm Coleman and Rudy Boschwitz, a dozen past and present Republican senators hosted a fundraiser Wednesday for Mike McFadden, one of Sen. Al Franken's leading GOP challengers.Held at the National Republican
Senatorial Committee's Capitol Hill headquarters, the private fundraiser may be the clearest indication yet that McFadden, a former investment banker, has piqued the interest of the GOP establishment in D.C.
"Republicans are impressed with his fundraising and the fact that he is the only candidate to put together a campaign worthy of a statewide race," said an analyst for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. "It also doesn't hurt that
McFadden is an outsider with no voting record."
With Franken rated as one of the Congress' most liberal lawmakers, his seat has long been a target for Republicans angling to recapture control of the Senate.

Creator, conscience, and constituents, in that order
We need to change for the better. Congress and the President spend too much time and effort on divisive partisan squabbles that accomplish nothing. The issues confronting us have already crossed party lines. If America is to compete
in the global economy and give our nation the chance to succeed, we need to focus on real solutions, not simply jostle for partisan gain. What happens in Washington--or doesn't happen--has a direct effect on the lives of all Americans.
But first we need leaders who are not afraid to come together to solve problems effectively.
My home-grown Minnesotan values guide me and my personal decision-making priorities of 'Creator, conscience, and constituents,' in that order, provide me guidance for the tough decisions I face in my current elected responsibilities.
