Minneapolis, MN – The Republican Party of Minnesota issued the following statement on Bloomberg News’ recent attacks on Kim Crockett, the GOP-endorsed candidate for secretary of state:

“Kim Crockett is a highly qualified candidate for Secretary of State and is widely respected as an experienced policy expert. These terrible attacks on her character, launched by the Democrats and repeated by the corporate media, are irresponsible and designed to shut down a much-needed debate about election policy. Instead of ad hominem attacks, let’s talk about common sense measures like Voter ID in Minnesota. That’s what voters want and deserve. Kim Crockett will get the politics out of the secretary of state’s office and administer our state’s elections with fairness and impartiality.” – Republican Party of Minnesota Executive Director Mike Lonergan
