State GOP responds to Clark’s candidacy

Following today's announcement by state Sen. Tarryl Clark, DFL-St. Cloud, that she's running for Congress, Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Tony Sutton issued the following statement:

"Tarryl Clark is a tax and spend liberal who has consistently voted to raise taxes on Minnesotans," Sutton said. "As a state senator, Clark has voted to increase gasoline taxes, the metro wide sales tax, license tab fees and income taxes. Regardless of who the DFL puts up, the Sixth District will have a clear choice between Rep. Michele Bachmann, who opposes any new tax increases and the Democrats who have long supported adding to the tax burden of hard-working Minnesotans."
