Benson Wins!
The votes are in and the unofficial totals are: Benson 9711 Welti 8823
I received a call at 10:58 on election night from Representative Andy Welti to congratulate me on the win. I want to thank him for his 6 years of service to the people of District 30B and I wish him the very best.
I have so many people to thank for this win but I first need to thank the people of 30B who had the confidence to elect me to represent them in St Paul. I am truly humbled and honored and my promise is to serve you faithfully.
I have to thank my wife for being there for me from the very beginning. Together we lit dropped and knocked on over 10,000 doors in 30B.
I also have to thank all those who were part of my campaign team and gave a tremendous amount of time and effort.
I also had very valuable assistance from individual campaigns teams in Stewartville, Eyota, and Plainview. A special thanks to Representative Drazkowski and the Plainview Elephant Club.
After a few days of rest and celebrating with my mom for her 80th birthday it will be time to get busy. There is a lot of work to be done in St Paul and we have to hit the ground running!
