Editorial Board Opinion

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: ECM Editorial Board offers political endorsements on 6 races, amendment

ECM Publishers, Inc., which publishes 20 weekly newspapers that go out to 181,500 homes, believes endorsing candidates for high political office is important.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Coleen Rowley right choice in 2nd District

The nation's growing polarization and disenchantment are mirrored in the 2nd Congressional District race between Republican incumbent John Kline and Democractic challenger Coleen Rowley.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Amy Klobuchar is best choice for U.S. Senate

We believe Hennepin County Attorney Amy Klobuchar should be the next U.S. senator from Minnesota.

She is an impressive candidate, and would be an effective senator.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Wetterling deserving of chance in 6th District

On first brush it may be easy to conclude that Michele Bachmann is best suited to represent the Sixth Congressional District. She has political savvy, knows government workings from her state senate service and rubs shoulders with the cream of the crop of the Republican Party, including President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: 8th District best served by Oberstar tenure

Regardless of the outcome of the Nov. 7 election, it is hard to argue that the winner of the Eighth District House race will not be the voter. Both candidates, Rod Grams and Jim Oberstar, would serve the district well and the citizens of the eighth truly benefit from having such choices.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Ramstad is a voice of moderation in Congress

In a U.S. Congress that is awash with partisanship and extremism, both on the left and right, U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad is a voice of moderation as he has been since he was first elected to represent Minnesota's 3rd Congressional District in 1990, succeeding Bill Frenzel, another moderate Republican.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Support transportation amendment on Nov. 7

A remarkable coalition of Minnesota interests is urging passage of the transportation constitutional amendment on the Nov. 7.

ECM EDITORIAL BOARD: Gov. Pawlenty should be returned to office

Three well qualified candidates want to be governor of Minnesota. Each is a leader, intelligent, politically savvy and dedicated to public service.
