Dear Friends,
In the Army we're trained that when we're on a mission, every so often we should stop, recheck our compass, and change course as needed. After 19 years in the military, I know this is smart advice, not just for a soldier, but for a nation.
I’m running for Congress because our nation needs to change course.

A relatively gentlemanly race for Congress in the southern suburbs heated up in the second debate. (Editor's note: It was actually the fourth debate.)
By DAVID PETERSON, Star Tribune
The genial calm of Second District Congressman John Kline's first debate with his DFL challenger earlier this month vanished Thursday in their fourth and last encounter, nearly replaced by hand-to-hand combat between two military veterans.
EAGAN, Minn. – In follow-up to his joint interview with John Kline on Minnesota Public Radio’s “Midday” this morning (www.mpr.org), Steve Sarvi’s campaign for Congress (MN-02) is providing the following documentation on Sarvi’s position on the so-called Bush Tax Cuts. Kline continues to misrepresent Sarvi’s position, claiming Sarvi will increase taxes on the middle class.
The following originally appeared in MPR coverage of the debate between Kline and Sarvi at the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on 10/13:
"Silence" launched Oct. 29 during early morning news programs on Twin Cities network affiliates.
Steve Sarvi is on the people's side -- and he couldn't be more different from John Kline. But suddenly, John Kline wants everyone to think he's not the 92 percent Bush-Cheney and 97 percent GOP voter that he is. So what does he do? He agrees with Steve!
If you're looking for a candidate who agrees with Steve Sarvi... why not just VOTE for Steve Sarvi?!
Second District U.S. Rep. John Kline, R-Lakeville, and challenger Steve Sarvi, D-Watertown, both served their country as members of the military.
Although they have this common experience, when it comes to the pressing issues in the 2008 campaign, that is largely where the similarities end.
Their differing opinions of the war in Iraq, rebuilding the economy, funding transportation projects and governing philosophies give voters a clear choice in this election.
We feel Sarvi has a better approach on a wide range of issues, and we endorse his candidacy.
Tricia: Hi, I’m calling with the Steve Sarvi campaign. Steve is an Iraq War Veteran running for Congress in the 2nd district against John Kline.
Voter: John who?
Tricia: John Kline, your congressman who has been representing you in Congress for the past 6 years.
Voter: Never heard of him. I’m republican.
Tricia: Actually, Kline is republican as well….
The Sarvi campaign is
excited to announce its endorsement by the Independence Party of Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District. Read more.
