The margin of victory in Senate District 51 was wider than Sen. Ted Daley (R) expected.

Follow Eagan Patch on Twitter | Like us on Facebook | Sign up for our daily newsletter| Blog for us Ousted Eagan Sen. Ted Daley (R), who was defeated at the polls on Tuesday by Democratic challenger Jim Carlson, said voters sent a clear message by handing control of Eagan's legislative seats—and the Minnesota Legislature—to the Democrats.

Here's an idea, Sen. Daly: Since the economy performs better, the stock market has higher gains, and government actually works when Democrats are in charge, why not just let them run things from now on. That way business can have some confidence that when people run for office on a platform of jobs, Jobs, JOBS, they won't turn around, once elected, and pass 100 bills banning abortion instead...   more ›

Republican Senator Ted Daley along with the other republican legislators came to the town hall forum one year ago with Paul Ryan's radical budget plan to privatize social security and voucher Medicare rather than to have the wealthiest pay their fair share. This is not Minnesotan and this would be very bad for all of us. He is not representing us and he is not what he appears to be. He is a …   more ›

We need the honesty and integrity that Jim Carlson brought to St. Paul on behalf of the people of Eagan and Burnsville. When he represented us, there was never a question that he was too busy to answer--which is not true of Senator Daley. Jim works for the people, not for the ALEC organization. He stands for jobs and for education. Let's send Jim back to St. Paul!   more ›

Ted Daley brought two divisive Constitutional amendments to the ballot this election, instead of working for jobs. He's also taken credit for the budget turnaround, which is a very cynical lie. Does he really represent the citizens of Eagan and Burnsville? We need a senator who is not afraid to work across the isle for bipartisan job-generating solutions. We need Jim Carlson!   more ›
