    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 21, 2013 INTERVIEWS: Tom Jensen 919-744-6312 IF YOU HAVE BASIC METHODOLOGICAL QUESTIONS, PLEASE E-MAIL [email protected], OR CONSULT THE FINAL PARAGRAPH OF THE PRESS RELEASE Franken in solid position for reelection Raleigh, N.C. – PPP’s new survey of Minnesota voters finds Al Franken comfortably leading all potential challengers. Franken leads Michele Bachmann 55% to 38%. He leads Jason Lewis by 54% to 37%. Franken bests Republican Mike McFadden 51%-36%. He leads Julianne Ortman 52%-35%. Julie Rosen trails Franken 36%-52%. Rounding out the bunch, Rich Stanek faces a 36%-51% deficit against the Senator. Franken himself is popular, with a 51% approval rating to 42% disapproval. Bachmann is deeply unpopular, at 34% favorable, 60% unfavorable and 7% not sure. Lewis has an 18% positive rating and 19% negative rating; 63% were undecided. McFadden garners positive views from 4%, negative ones from 10% and none from 85%. Julianne Ortman also has a 4% favorability rating, but her positive number comes with a 15% negative rating. Rosen garners a 9%-13% spread with 79% expressing no opinion. Rich Stanek stands at 11% positive and 14% negative. 75% have no opinion of him. “Al Franken has proven to be a pretty popular Senator,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. “Add to that a relatively weak Republican bench in Minnesota and he’s looking like a clear favorite for reelection.” President Barack Obama has a 50% approval rating in Minnesota to a 47% disapproval rating and 3% of voters who aren’t sure.

  • 2018 Election Preview
    2018 Election Preview Introduction With the 2018 Midterm Election just over a week away, and more information than ever swirling around the candidates, the Medical Alley Association Government Relations team is here to help you cut through the noise. We have put together an overview of the races you need to know about here in Minnesota, but please note: This preview does not try to predict the outcome of these races. Rather, it provides historical context and attempts to give you a better understanding of the races’ backgrounds heading into Election Day. After the election, look for a recap of results, along with what they could mean for MAA members and their likely impact on public policy for the next two years. Overview Minnesota is like most states in that, although the election between Presidential elections is colloquially known as the midterm election, every state-level, statewide office is on the ballot, as is every congressional and state House seat. What makes this election unique is that both U.S. Senate seats are up, as is control of the state Senate. That makes this so-called “off-year election” action-packed. This preview will touch on three of the state-level statewide offices: Governor/Lt. Governor, Attorney General, and Secretary of State, as well as both U.S. Senate elections. It will also take a look at competitive congressional matchups and key races in the state Legislature, where control of both the House and the Senate is up for grabs. A quick index of recent electoral results for each race is located at the end of the preview.

    SENATE RACE Candidate: Jeff Sessions (Incumbent) - No Major Party Opposition State: Alabama Party: Republican Issues ObamaCare: “Sessions has expressed grave concern over the unwise and controversial health care law, which was upheld by the Supreme Court on a narrow 5-4 ruling. He disagrees with the Court's decision that individuals can be required to purchase health insurance, believing that if the government can tax individuals merely for choosing not to buy something, then it gains the power to coerce them into taking other actions that it desires as well. Sessions has stated that it is unwise, even dangerous, to entrust politicians with such broad authority over the lives of the citizenry. What is more, the health law remains unaffordable, regardless of the constitutional questions. It will add $17 trillion to the nation's long-term unfunded liabilities—more than twice the unfunded liability of Social Security. Senator Sessions fully supports efforts to repeal this unaffordable law and replace it with smart steps that reduce costs, improve competition, protect taxpayers, and empower the individual consumer.” Source: http://www.sessions.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/health-and-wellness?page=11 Debt: “Senator Sessions believes we should grow the economy – not the government – and that we should create more jobs instead of more debt. In the U.S. Senate, he has earned the reputation as a tough fiscal conservative. At every turn, Sessions works hard to limit spending, keep taxes low, and fight waste, fraud, and abuse. He knows that low taxes lead to economic growth, and he believes that Americans know how to spend their hard-earned money better than politicians in Washington.
