A new conservative group on the scene

The Pi Press says former Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer has hit the airwaves touting a new group called Minnesota Majority. Kiffmeyer appeared on an ad touting the group during Gov. Pawlenty's weekly radio show.

The group's website has entries from Jeff Davis and Drew Emmer. Davis is also affiliated with Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Marriage, which worked to define marrage as one man and one woman in the constitution (i.e. ban gay marriage). You can review that group's finance reports here.

Emmer blogs at Wright County Republican.

One issue that Minnesota Majority will tackle right away is health care. They have scheduled townhall meetings on the issue for January.
