Bachmann beats Immelman
Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann easily won the 6th District GOP primary on Tuesday.
Bachmann, a first-term incumbent, defeated GOP challenger Aubrey Immelman, an associate professor of psychology at St. John's University. Immelman, a first-time candidate, did not accept any campaign contributions. He walked across the congressional district last month to draw attention to his campaign. Bachmann now faces DFL candidate Elwyn Tinklenberg, a former state transportation commissioner, in the general election. Bob Anderson is also running in the 6th district as an Independence Party candidate.
