Conrad: I Only Come to North Dakota To Campaign
Over the weekend I checked on “Kent Conrad in the news. If found an article that ran in the ContraCostaTimes. This article also ran in the GF Herald, but that’s where I saw it first.
The article talked about differences in the Conrad campaign versus the Grotberg campaign. I picked up on very interesting quote by Senator Conrad:
So Senator Conrad has admitted that he only comes to North Dakota to campaign. Not to do one other thing. I wonder why that is.
Well we’ve all seen the article Rob ran on the shabby little apartment that Senator Conrad claims is his residence. Here’s a picture of Senator Conrad’s official residence which amounts to a mailing address:
Here's the apartment building:
This apartment is owned by GKC apartments. On his financial disclosure form he lists this as “Conrad Brother’s Partnership.” This property is assessed at $280,900. Since this building is a sixteen-plex the value of Kent Conrad’s official residence at $17,567. That’s not much for a big important Senator.
So I got to wondering where does he REALLY live? Well that’s also on the Internet. I’m not going to give his address but his “secondary residence” is valued at $935,740. Remember though the Washington DC real estate market has exploded in recent years.
I suppose by now you’re wondering what Senator Conrad’s real residence looks like. Well thanks to friends in low places I was able to find out. (Out of respect for his privacy I smudged out the street number).
So now we know why Senator Conrad only visits North Dakota to campaign. He wouldn’t be caught dead to be seen in his stinky old Bismarck living room. It also shows why Senator Conrad has to pose in front of his grandparents former house when he pretends he’s a North Dakotan.
North Dakota should be represented by North Dakotans in Washington. Right now we have three bureaucrats in Washington that only come home to campaign.

Conrad said his campaign strategy is simple: Do it all the time, not just in an election year.
“When I come home, I don’t just sit in the living room,” Conrad said. “I go from town to town.”
