I find the Minnesota Campaign Finance Disclosure Reports of Republicans and Democrats to be very interesting. I thought I would start to pull them into one area on my blog for easy access since we are entering campaign season again.
A couple interesting observations: In Otremba's reports you will see a substantial amount of money comes from a number of different Indian Tribes in Minnesota.
Also, a majority of financial support from individuals and special interest groups are not actually within Todd & Douglas County.

Senator Bill Ingebrigtsen (R-Alexandria: MN SD11)
The senators finances are quite different because you will see a lot of individual support from family and supporters within his district. I should also note that I did work on his advisory committee and it was truly and enjoyable campaign with real grassroots efforts.

The Mayor
- Americas Small City Mayor
- Clarissa, Minnesota, United States
- A friend of mine said: "WOW. It must be weird to be addressed as "The Honorable Nathan McLaughlin." I said it was, however, I've learned as Mayor people learn to drop "The Honorable" portion pretty fast, and insert other descriptive adjectives and verbs most of which shouldn't by typed or spoken out loud.
The City of Clarissa
