Not BREAKING, NON-Exclusive - Sullivan is NOT In
Posted by Andy on September 24th, 2007
I just had an email from Brian Sullivan arrive an hour or so ago.
Dear Friends,
When Jim Ramstad announced his decision not to run for re-election as the Third District Congressman, I received many calls encouraging me to seek the Republican nomination, and I agreed to consider doing so. I appreciate the trust many of you have shown in me by asking me to get into this race. It would be an honor to serve the Third District as its Representative in the U.S. Congress. However, the timing is not right for my family or me. As a result, I have decided not to enter the race to replace Jim Ramstad as Minnesota’s Third District Congressman.
Mia and I had a third daughter this past April, and I acquired another business in May. It is simply not possible for me to disengage from either my family or my businesses at this time to run for this office. I will continue to serve as Minnesota’s Republican National Committeeman, and I will work hard to elect a Republican Congressman in the Third District.
Jim Ramstad has served our state and our country well these past 17 years as our Third District Congressman. He deserves our gratitude for his selfless commitment to public service. Our family wishes him all the best.
Best Regards,
Brian
It was a retry email for it to get to me with a special note. Seems the first one got bounced back earlier in the day.
Anyways, Brian Sullivan is out of the 3rd CD sprint, as you’ve no doubt heard or seen elsewhere.
I think that is for the best. I think conservatives in Minnesota have Mr. Sullivan right where we truly need him (until 2010…. just saying……). He’s on the Republican Party State Executive Committee as well as a representative to the RNC. I have a good feeling he’s holding people accountable and making sure the party has a strong conservative advocate in both places.
