Dear Friend,

I want you to hear it from me.

With the encouragement and support of Minnesotans from Stillwater to Saint Cloud, today I am announcing I have filed the forms necessary to pursue Minnesota’s 6th District seat in Congress, currently held by Representative Michele Bachmann.

Minnesotans understand the challenges facing our State and our nation. As a State Senator, I talk every day with families and businesses facing economic challenges head-on. As a Mom and Dad, my husband Doug and I must often make the same difficult decisions about balancing the rising costs of college, health care, and energy.

I see these challenges, and believe they present great opportunities. On issues ranging from health care to caring for our veterans; from energy independence to relieving the burdens on small businesses; from helping parents ensure their children are ready to start school to developing a 21st Century work force; we have an opportunity to address our nation’s challenges while also creating new opportunities for jobs and growth.

For the past few years, the 6th District’s representation in Congress has been about missed opportunities. We’ve watched opportunities slip away -- opportunities to build our local infrastructure, to modernize our transportation system, and to create good jobs and a strong business climate.

It’s time to deliver more than a sound bite. Representative Bachmann’s biggest accomplishments are creating controversy instead of creating good jobs, and working the talk show circuit instead of helping working families. I am ready to go to Congress to put our community’s interests first -- to fight for Minnesota’s working families, seniors, children, small business owners, and veterans.

With your support and help, I’ve won tough campaigns before and, with your support and help, I know we will do it again. I’m proud to have earned the DFL endorsement in each of my campaigns, and this campaign will be no different: I will seek and abide by the DFL endorsement, and I will not challenge the endorsement in a primary. The future of those in the 6th District is too important to let party politics get in the way.

I hope you’ll join me. A winning campaign needs passion, energy, and good ideas. If you talk to people across Minnesota, they will tell you I bring those qualities to every campaign.

I can’t do this without you. A winning campaign also needs resources to connect with voters. I hope you will join our campaign today.

With your help, we can transform our challenges into opportunities for progress. I ask for your support as we build a winning campaign.

Sincerely,

Tarryl Clark

1. I'd vote for her in a "Saint Louis Second"... and that's just the problem!

Best of luck with your campaign, Ms. Clark!

7. Are you from L.A.?

Know anybody who does short films, any photographers? She needs someone to make a better video for her, someone who will film some way so that the sun is not in her eyes. She speaks really well and has a great message. She seems to have experience and to be competent. She needs help with the filming of her ad. Any experts out there? She is squinting too much. Her voice is great!

6. Can't wait for that debate...

I wonder if Bachmann will wear her tinfoil hat?
