Headline:  Erhardt right choice

Lead Excerpt: To the editor: At the League of Women Voter's forum on Sept. 27, DFL-endorsed candidate Kevin Staunton said Rep. Ron Erhardt's days of being effective in the Legislature are over because he does not have a party. Staunton's snipe reflects someone who does not understand how the Capitol works. It is an institution that is built on trust, respect and seniority. These characteristics are far more important than party labels. After 18 years of standing on principle and making tough votes, Erhardt commands the respect of his legislative peers, who have repeatedly put him in leadership positions. Ron will caucus with the party that wins the majority of the House seats. Because of his seniority and personal relationships with members from both parties, he anticipates he will likely chair a committee. His seniority, relationships and leadership position ensure that he will continue to effectively represent Edinans. On Nov. 4, Edina voters can and should re-elect Ron Erhardt, a representative whose effectiveness commands the respect of his legislative peers regardless of party….

Headline:  Erhardt has my vote

Lead Excerpt: To the editor: Ron Erhardt clearly will not "say and do anything" to stay in office. His support for increased transportation funding after the Interstate 35W bridge collapse cost him the valuable endorsement of his party and his leadership roles. Rep. Erhardt recognized that a productive state economy requires a sound infrastructure. He rejected as intolerable the neglect of transportation investment that caused August 2007's mass fatalities and persistent southwest metro traffic congestion. Rep. Erhardt put Minnesota's interests ahead of his own. He has my vote.

Headline:  Return Erhardt to seat

Lead Excerpt: To the editor: Three cheers for Ron Erhardt's decision to run for re-election to the state Legislature as a moderate independent. I am a former chairperson of the District 41 Republicans. I have worked with Ron for over 25 years in Republican politics in Edina, and for 18 years I watched him cast votes based on what is best for the people of Edina and Minnesota. He is a good and sincere man whom I continue to support. My regret about the big loss to the local Republican Party is comforted by knowing that Edinans will return him to the Legislature in November.

Lead Excerpt: After losing his party's endorsement, Edina's nine-term state representative is parting ways with the Republican Party. ¶ State Rep. Ron Erhardt, R-Edina, will file for re-election as an independent. He represents Minnesota House District 41A, which includes most of Edina.¶ Erhardt has been endorsed by the Republican Party every other time he has run for re-election, but he lost favor with delegates after voting to override Gov. Tim Pawlenty's veto of the 2008 transportation bill, which included a gas-tax increase. ¶ Erhardt said he has a better chance of winning by avoiding the primary and going straight for the general election. ¶ "My concern would be that the right-wing people that are supporting the Republicans would be out for the primary and the moderates would not come out," Erhardt said. "I've always been a moderate...." [see full article]….
