Rudy Takala's Columns

Roger Crawford

McCall & Sawalich; Dec. 13 Simply Right Guest List

The most newsworthy items in the race for chair of the Minnesota Republican Partycome courtesy of Terry McCall & Brandon Sawalich. I received word from Brandonthat he is thinking about it;  I received news (originally from CoreySax) that Terry McCall is also thinking about it. (Click hereto read more about the movement for McCall on MPR.
 
 
I first met Brandon in 2009; I have known or at least known of Terry McCall for a couple of years longer. I also serve with Terry on the board of the Republican Liberty Caucus of Minnesota.

A "Deferred Apology" -- To Me?

 
There was a, shall we say, thought-provoking letter in my hometown newspaper a few days ago talking about my past campaign for the Minnesota House. I may not concur with all of its sentiments, but it is an interesting read nonetheless!
_________________________________________
To the editor:
 
This is gonna leave a mark! I have to publicly apologize to Rudy Takala for voting against him by voting for Crawford. This means I also must publicly admit I voted for Crawford. The shame and guilt I feel!
