I don’t get it. Pam Cunningham is the Republican endorsed candidate for The House of Representatives District 53A, right? But she drives a Prius, she is on a school board and she works as a nurse for a charity organization. Next you’re going to tell me that the school board was dominated by teacher-endorsed members and she calls her fellow board members friends. With that kind of background she may be able to work with both Democrats and Republicans and get something positive done in the legislature. Wow, that would be different, but then Pam Cunningham is a different kind of candidate who doesn’t meet the typical stereotypes. I am impressed by her achievements and I think it is time for something new and refreshing. — Jerry Palesh, …

Instead of complaining about what was wrong, Pam set out to bring the diverse groups together and work toward solutions. The solutions that emerged were made stronger because Pam brought multiple sides …

With her second term on the District 622 School Board expiring this year, Pam Cunningham said the time is right to run for Minnesota House in District 53A.
Seeking a seat in the Minnesota Legislature seemed like a natural next step for District 622 School Board member Pam Cunningham, she said, with her current term ending this year. “I didn’t ever plan to be on the school board forever,” she said, “but I love being engaged in the community and in the politics part of it.” Cunningham recently received the Republican endorsement to run for the House seat in District 53A, which includes southern Maplewood, Landfall, Oakdale south of 10th Street and the northwest corner of Woodbury. RELATED: Oakdale Split Into Two State House and Senate Districts Over her years on the school board, Cunningham said she’s learned firsthand how decisions at the state level influence the local levels of government. …

Sorry, Pam--your party lost my vote with your divisive and polarizing social agenda. I thought you were supposed to be about jobs and taxes, not all this other nonsense. I will be voting for JoAnn Ward. more ›
