Mike McFadden, who ran for the U.S. Senate in 2014, confirmed tonight he is "exploring" the possibility of running for Congress in Minnesota's Second Congressional District in 2016.
McFadden, a businessman from Sunfish Lake, is contemplating a run for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives currently held by Republican Congressman John Kline. Kline announced last Thursday he would not seek re-election to Congress next year.
In an email tonight, McFadden said he was "very surprised by Congressman Kline's announcement," adding, he has "not set a timetable for a decision" about running for Congress.

In his remarks Thursday, Mills added he has not decided on whether he will run for office again in the 2016 election.
“I’m not exactly sure what the next election cycle holds for me,” Mills said. “But we do, in whatever capacity, have to stand up for our magnificent America.”

Directness in politics is what, poison? Some might say more of it might be refreshing, especially without ancillary backstabbing by "unaffiliated" PACs.
