Mayor Tim Baldermann confirmed Tuesday he's running for Congress and has assembled a list of Republican juggernauts to run his campaign.

This race was becoming a huge headache, as the Democrats were able to recruit their top choice.
I take it this district leans GOP. Hopefully now we can hold it.
Weller’s race will be tough to hold. Although Tim Baldermann is the best canddiate to muster up.

Yes, the district leans GOP. Weller is in his 7th term, and he usually got 55%-60% of the vote. I hope that Chris McNeil runs. He’s a conservative who ran for st. rep. in 2006, and he lost the primary to a RINO incumbent. Chris is considering the race.
Weller’s seat won’t be tough to hold. Weller usually got 55%-60% of the vote. Three of the four state senators, in that congressional district, are Republicans.
