Congressional hopeful Steve Wilson: when Tea Party meets Independence Party
Posted in Candidates, Minnesota Women Writers on February 10th, 2010 by Sally Jo Sorensen – Be the first to comment If Independence Party hopeful Steve Wilson was seeking the Republican endorsement, Congressman Walz might have good reason to worry. Since the conservative former Republican is pursuing the IP label, CD1 Republicans may have reason to pause instead.
An active member of an Assembly of God congregation in Rochester, Wilson can boast of impeccable conservative credentials on his resume, if he were the sort to brag. Embedded with the US Army in Iraq, he worked toward that country's reconstruction by helping small businesses get their start-up. A small businessman himself, he consulted for Land O' Lakes, assisting dairy farmers in creating business plans. Heeding the notion in Matthew to tend to "the least of these," Wilson founded a rural ministry at the Coyote Crossing Christian Ranch that served at-risk children and created a successful mentoring program that matches adult Christian role models with the children of incarcerated adults.
His political passion, however, is working to reduce the national debt, and he was a speaker at a well-attended forum on the issue in November, sponsored by the Rochester Tea Party Patriots.
RTTP activist Laura Zaborowski wrote up the presentation for the group's website.
