Letter to the Editor: Dotseth had failures as legislator

In my opinion, Jeff Dotseth has been a poor representative for Minnesota House District 11A. In the midst of the recent flurry of news and debate around his domestic abuse history, I feel that his failures as a legislator are getting lost.

As we head to vote, remember that Rep. Dotseth dropped the ball on legislation that was critical to funding for the Carlton County Justice Center. It is only the quick actions of county commissioners with help from Sen. Jason Rarick that salvaged that funding.

I want a representative who understands how to function effectively at the state level and will best represent our district, one who will keep the needs of all of 11A in the forefront of their actions, above party.

As I have watched Pete Radosevich over the years on Harry’s Gang and seen him in the community, I feel he will be the better legislator. Pete gets my vote.
