Your View: Clark Johnson would be fair to all his constituents

By Mike Bidelman, St. Peter

— As a long-time Terry Morrow supporter, I encourage your consideration of Clark Johnson for the seat in the Minnesota House of Representatives that Morrow vacated.

Clark Johnson is a principled, practical, pro-growth progressive who will fairly represent every person in District 19A.

He is the strongest and most sensible successor to Mr. Morrow.

When casting your vote Tuesday, choose Clark Johnson.
