Emmer uses new web site to answer Seifert
State Rep. Tom Emmer, R-Delano, is launching a new web site for his gubernatorial campaign.
The site, emmertruth,will be devoted exclusively to answering negative attacks from the other Republican frontrunner, Rep. Marty Seifert, R-Marshall. In a message to fellow Emmer supporters, Rep. Mark Buesgens, R-Jordan, said the Seifert campaign has gone negative because Emmer has caught up in the GOP delegate race.
"The Seifert attacks are coming in the form of direct mail, phone calls, press releases, e-mails from surrogates, literature at conventions, and whispers in the back hallway," Buesgens wrote. "Let me be clear: this is not a two-way street. The Emmer campaign has not initiated a single attack on Marty's record or personal life. Tom is running a positive campaign about returning prosperity to Minnesota and prefers to talk about job creation. We have answered Marty's negative attacks and will continue to set the record straight."
