Second Congressional District challenger Mike Obermueller (DFL) lobbed plenty of criticism at incumbent Rep. John Kline (R) during the first and only debate between the two candidates on Monday morning.

Minnesota's Second Congressional District race is among the 36 "most competitive" this year, according to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
Mike Obermueller's already high-profile campaign against Rep. John Kline (R) got another bump Monday, courtesy of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. Earlier in May, the DCCC added Obermueller to its Red to Blue Emerging Races program, but the committee announced this week that Obermueller has now earned a spot on the top tier of the committee's Red to Blue list. The promotion puts Obermueller among a group of 36 Congressional races nationwide that are considered to be the "most competitive." Obermueller is currently the only Minnesota candidate to have earned designation, according to a press release issued by his campaign on Monday. The DCCC's Red to Blue program pledges increased financial, strategic and communications …

Second Congressional District DFLers will gather at the Rosemount High School on Saturday to select their nominee to challenge Republican incumbent John Kline in the November elections.
Second Congressional District DFLers will gather at the Rosemount High School on Saturday to select their nominee to challenge Republican incumbent John Kline in the November elections. Kline received the unanimous endorsement from Republicans at the GOP convention at Shakopee Junior High School last week. But thanks to February's court-panel redistricting of Minnesota, Kline faces a tougher road in a second district that now includes DFL-leaning portions of northern Dakota County, as well as southern Washington County, and doesn't include Republican strongholds such as Carver County. Candidates for this Saturday's DFL endorsement include Kathleen Gaylord, a Dakota County commissioner and former mayor of South St. Paul; Mike Obermueller of…
