Related: About this forumRematch between Rep. Angie Craig, Tyler Kistner could cost more than $11M
A closely-watched race in Minnesota could help decide who controls the next Congress. Democratic Representative Angie Craig is facing a rematch against Republican Tyler Kistner.
The district stretches from precincts in Woodbury through Mankato and now includes all of Le Sueur County.
Rep. Angie Craig is stressing her recent endorsement by the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association and her support for abortion rights. . .
One complicating factor is third-party Legal Marijuana Now candidate Paula Overby. Six years ago, Overby got nearly 29,000 votes, enough some analysts believe to tip the 2016 race against Craig and allow Republican Jason Lewis to win.

(6,616 posts)1. I am in complete agreement, Ms. Overby.
However, the stakes are a bit higher (no pun intended) that your platform at the moment. Once we get control of Congress, we can legalize it completely.

If she and her "party" really cared about legalizing weed they'd support Democrats rather than splitting the vote and helping put Republicans in office.

She does not care about the bigger picture.
