Congresswoman Bachmann looks forward to debating Tarryl Clark. Voters deserve a clear picture between the two candidates - a taxpayer advocate like Michele who fought against higher taxes and failed bailouts or a spender like Tarryl who never met a tax increase she didn't support.
He continued:
Congresswoman Bachmann is eager to highlight the vast differences between her and her opponent. Voters deserve a clear picture of the candidates; instead Clark for Congress has only offered gimmicks and rhetoric.
MPR has not yet received confirmation of Tarryl Clark's participation in the Midday debate.
UPDATE: Clark's camp has confirmed that they'll do the Midday debate.
