Reed campaign: Bachmann trying to 'enhance her national star power' with Palin visit
Maureen Reed's campaign is weighing in on news that conservative superstar Sarah Palin will come to Minnesota in April to campaign for U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann.
"It is not surprising that Michele Bachmann continues to court the extreme right of the national Republican Party, while neglecting the needs of the district," campaign spokesman Trevor Willett said in a statement. "This is just another example of Bachmann trying to enhance her national star power rather than working on preventing home foreclosures, creating jobs, or offering solutions to address our health care crisis."
Palin, like Bachmann, brings polarizing rhetoric that devides people, he said.
"Maureen Reed is not a politician and has spent years as a doctor and businesswoman working with Democrats, independents, and Republicans dialing down fear and anger to get things done," he said. "Maureen's only priority in Congress will be the interests of the 6th District. The issues of today are too important for our representatives in Congress to spend their time courting the spotlight."
