Prepared and paid for by the Senate District 15 Republicans. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate committee.

There is a definite difference between a democracy and a republic, and that difference is the source of its authority. In a democracy the authority is based on strength of number, strength of force. In a republic the authority is a set of principles, unchanging by the whim of a simple majority, and providing an enduring stability.
A democracy is simply the deterioration of a republic -- it is a lazy man's form of government. It requires no effort and no research of candidates or long-term issues; it is simply based on what a majority of the people feel at that given time. A democracy is what Founding Father Benjamin Rush called a "mobocracy." -David Barton, Keys to Good Government, pg. 7
As Republicans we should vigorously promote and defend the constitutionally mandated form of government our Founding Fathers gave us - a republic.

About The SD15 Republicans

The area of the state that comprises SD15 has a long history of political involvement. Generally a conservative area it has been represented by both Democrats & Republicans who have overall done an above average job of serving the constituents.

As SD17 (comprising a slightly different geographic area) we had Republicans in both House seats as well as Senator for over a dozen years, when Marcus Marsh, Dave Gruenes and Joanne Benson served. As SD16 we had Senator Dave Kleis (now St. Cloud Mayor) and Rep. Jim Knoblach provide superb service for a dozen years. And currently as SD15 we are grateful for the service of Rep. Steve Gottwalt, now in his second term.
