Paulsen invites Stanek to the SOTU
GOP Rep. Erik Paulsen invited Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek to President Obama's State of the Union. Stanek, who served in the Minnesota House with Paulsen, is in his second term as sheriff of Minnesota's largest county by population.
"Congressman Paulsen invited Sheriff Stanek because he wanted to show his appreciation for all that the Sheriff and his office do to keep Hennepin County residents safe," Paulsen spokesman Tom Erickson said in a statement.
