Minnesota GOP elects discredited Enron lobbyist to restore integrity and accountability

Since when has this been part of the republican party in Minnesota??

The part about Enron is a throwaway because he only worked for six months at the end.
It is more telling that he works for the Heritage Foundation and Rep. Paul Ryan

The guy who headed up Mark Kennedy's campaign in their 30 point loss to Klobuchar. What a brilliant pick.
