“Dick Day took an unusual campaign trip this month as a Republican candidate in Minnesota’s First Congressional District, which spans the whole of southern Minnesota from Wisconsin to South Dakota.

Day traveled more than 1,600 miles farther south.

The Republican state senator from Owatonna went to the U.S.-Mexican border at the invitation of the activist anti-open border Minutemen Project. He came away convinced that pressing for controls on illegal immigration will be the key to a victory against incumbent Democrat Tim Walz.”*
