David Gerson launches second challenge to Kline

by Naph on March 27, 2014

South St. Paul Republican David Gerson kicked off his second challenge to Republican U.S. Rep. John Kline on Monday.

Gerson, whose website describes the 46-year-old as a “pro-life, pro-business, limited-government conservative who believes in the U.S. Constitution and the Republican platform,” will seek the 2nd District GOP’s endorsement in the race, though he won’t challenge Kline to a primary campaign, as he did last year.

Gerson told Minnesota Public Radio he opposes Kline’s vote to raise the federal debt limit, as well as support for bills that have led to government surveillance programs.
