This election is about the future, not the past.  We need to change the people that represent us both on the state and federal level for the exact same reason.

For some reason politicians today believe that what they did in the past matters today and that they deserve credit for everything that is right in the country and the state, but none of the blame for what is wrong.  That attitude creates a stagnant environment that is not conducive to future growth.  To point to the past and say “look what I did for you there” and act like that is why you should be re-elected is akin to calling the voters stupid and laughing at how you are pulling the wool over their eyes.

It’s time to change our leadership in this state.  It’s time that Kent Conrad and Earl Pomeroy retire and we send a couple of guys – Matt Mechtel and Dwight Grotberg – to take their places.  These men have been cast aside by their own national party for the simple fact that they can’t raise millions of dollars in out-of-state cash like the current incumbents have.

In the same vain, it is time to send some new faces and some younger eyes to Bismarck that will have a fresh perspective on common sense.  If the best reason you can come up with as to why you should be re-elected is that you have been there 20+ years then your time is done, let someone else with a little more energy and a little more passion give it a shot.

On Tuesday, vote to send Matt Mechtel to the United States Congress, Dwight Grotberg to the United States House, Stuart Savelkoul (Dickinson) to the North Dakota House, and Chad Berger (Dickinson) to North Dakota Senate.

Let’s change the faces of North Dakota politics in one unified way. 

Let’s send the message that we the voters will set your term limit and all the money in the world won’t change that fact.
