This came in today from the Sean Duffy campaign:
Wisconsin’s 7th Congressional District Republican Party today voted in overwhelming numbers to officially endorse Ashland County District Attorney Sean Duffy as their choice to defeat Chairman David Obey in November.
Of those who voted to endorse, Sean Duffy received 406 delegate votes, or 84 percent of the vote to Dan Mielke’s 78 delegate votes, or 16 percent of the vote.
“I’m humbled and extremely grateful to Republicans in the 7th District for their official endorsement. I’ve never seen the Party more unified or more energized. Our positive message of job creation and fiscal responsibility has clearly resonated,” said District Attorney Duffy. “Dave Obey’s big government spending spree has mortgaged our children’s future, slowed our economic recovery and driven American into record debt. The contrast between us is clear and simple – Obey puts his faith in government bureaucrats, and I put my faith in the American people.”
The Duffy for Congress Campaign has raised a record $400,000 – twice as much as any previous Obey challenger raised in an entire election cycle – while being highlighted by the Wall Street Journal and National Review Online, and named by the Washington Independent as the #3 conservative in America to watch in 2010.
Sean Duffy was first elected as Ashland County District Attorney in 2002 and has served in that role for seven years. As District Attorney, Duffy has aggressively compiled a 90 percent conviction rate. He is three-time World Champion Lumberjack athlete, ESPN Outdoor Games analyst, and former MTV Real World cast member.
Good luck Sean.
