Letter: JoAnn Ward Knows What Will Boost Minnesota’s Economy

Don’t be swayed by Republican special interest group’s misleading, false attacks against JoAnn Ward.

Ward is running against Pam Cunningham in House District 53A, which encompasses the west side of Woodbury, and parts of Maplewood and Oakdale.

You deserve the truth.

They are claiming that DFL policies forced JoAnn Ward’s family business to move to Wisconsin. This is a ridiculous claim. JoAnn's husband's business is located in Hudson, Wis., and employs many Minnesotans.

JoAnn Ward and her family business worked to improve Minnesota’s small-business climate. JoAnn’s husband, Joe, even testified before House and Senate jobs committees about their experience, urging more pro-small-businesses policies in the state of Minnesota.

One of the reasons JoAnn is running for state representative is to improve the business climate in Minnesota. Ward’s small-business experience is needed in the state Legislature, and JoAnn has the experience and priorities to do what’s right for Minnesota’s small businesses.

She knows small businesses are vital to our state's economy and she will put their interests ahead of corporate special interests. 

I know that JoAnn Ward will work to get our economy back on track and create jobs. That's why I'm supporting her on Nov. 6.
