What do you look for in a candidate for public office? Lots of people look for a proven record of experience and leadership. Sound judgment in times of great stress is another strong qualification for any candidate, most people would say. Another thing to look for is whether your candidate shares your political philosophy. It is this last criterion which Rahn V. Workcuff hopes informs your vote for Hennepin County Soil and Water Supervisor (Seat 3).

In his Star Tribune candidate profile ^[1]–for Soil and Water Supervisor (Seat 3)–Mr. Workcuff writes

I strongly agree that a marriage should be only between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of same sex marriages. I strongly agree that all MN residence [sic] should have affordable health insurance. even if it means new or added cost to businesses. I strongly agree that we dont [sic] need anymore [sic] increase in taxes, we are all ready [sic] being taxed to death. I strongly agree that an increase of funding should be put towards educating our children in grade k – 12. I strongly agree funding should be allocated toward natural resources conservation.

Dude, this is straight out of a Dead Milkmen song ^[2]. Do you know what the queers are doing to our soil?! Because evidently Rahn V. Workcuff does.
