In case you've been out of the loop, Tarryl Clark is running for the Democratic nomination for the Minnesota 6th Congressional District, a seat currently held by Michele Bachmann.
Clark has a strong pedigree as an elected official in the Minnesota State Senate. She's repeatedly stood up tall for labor, small businesses, and families as a leader in the DFL Party in Minnesota. She represents the 15th State Senate district, which includes the St. Cloud area.
Clark is just the kind of candidate we need to defeat Bachmann. She understands small-town values, stands for Democratic Party values and principles, and will be a strong representative of efficient and accountable government service.
We have an outstanding shot of beating Bachmann in 2010, despite Bachmann's ginormous fundraising haul. Bachmann narrowly defeated former Blaine mayor El Tinklenberg in 2008 after Bachmann's infamous McCarthy-ist call for a "penetrating expose" of who loves the country and who doesn't.
Bachmann's words ring hollow a year and a half later, as the GOP continues to vote against the interests of working Minnesota families and in favor of the unsustainable status quo.

Full disclosure: I do not work for Tarryl Clark's campaign. I live in Tennessee now, but grew up just a block away from the borders of the 6th Congressional District in northern Ramsey County. I want Michele Bachmann out of Congress almost as much as I want Marsha Blackburn out of Tennessee's 7th Congressional District.
