Sarvi campaign sees good signs in CQ Politics change of status on race
The Steve Sarvi campaign in the 2nd Congressional District is hailing a change of status given the race by CQ Politics from “Safe Republican” to “Republican Favored.”
The publication notes that national Democrats similarly categorized the race and are keeping watch and could step in to help Sarvi under certain conditions.
Sarvi, an Iraq War vet and Democrat, is taking on three-term Congressman John Kline, R-Lakeville.
While the change of status by CQ Politics indicates the race is one to watch, the publication goes on to point out that Kline holds a big lead in fundraising — Sarvi had $98,000 cash on hand on June 30 to stack up against Kline’s $647,000.
Kline decisively defeated FBI whistleblower Coleen Rowley two years ago by winning 56 percent of the vote.
