The 8th CD Republicans meet this weekend in McGregor to endorse a candidate for Congress. A source has told me that a Pine County man named Mike Cummins will be nominated for that endorsement, but that there remains discontent within GOP circles for the long delay in finding a candidate and the relative obscurity of the candidate being offered.
The word from this original source is that GOP regulars are shopping for an alternative, someone with any kind of elected experience. But if such a person hasn’t stepped forward yet it seems unlikely they would now.
I have a call into Mr. Cummins, who has been out of town, and hope to find out more soon.
