Kathleen Bart

Biography in her words:

My name is Kathleen Bart. I have lived in Roseville for 36 years where my husband, Bill and I raised our 8 children. We are the happy grandparents to 14 grandchildren. I graduated from what is now Hopkins High School where I won the girls’ State High School tennis tournament twice and was awarded a full ride scholarship to Northwestern University in Evanston Illinois. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Nutrition Science from the University of Minnesota and a Nursing Degree from Century College. I have worked as a nurse in Geriatrics for the last 10 years.
I began my political career speaking at Roseville school board meetings against transgenderism, boys in girls’ sports and biased history education. I have been the chair of House District 66A for the past 4 years. I am running for the 66 MN Senate seat to challenge the Democrat agenda of allowing rampant fraud to go unchecked for years, burdensome taxes that keep going up, and preferential treatment given to gender confused boys over girls in girls’ sports

Dave Hammer

Biography provided by Dave Hammer
David R. Hammer is asking your support as the Republican candidate for the MN District 66 seat in the Minnesota State Senate.
The purpose of my candidacy is to provide a seat at the table as the MN Senate addresses issues impacting the people of Minnesota.  That ‘voice at the table’ will bring a range of experiences to issues.
Those experiences have been gained as a result of …
… classroom instruction at the high school and university level;
… school administration as, what may have been the nation’s youngest, high school principal;
… educational research director for the MN Dept. of Education in the area of curriculum and staffing in our schools;
… chief financial officer in both the U of MN Extension Service serving all 87 counties in MN and The Rehabilitation Services Division of the MN Dept. of Economic Security;
… purchasing manager for the MN Dept. of Public Safety; and
… audit supervisor for the MN Teacher Retirement Assoc.That experience began with formal education including a BA in accounting, an MS in school administration, and AbD in school administration.  That is supported by over 40 years of making good things happen for those of us who are proud to call Minnesota our home.

Delegates & Alternates from House District 66A Republicans and HD 66B Republicans (2 separate Local Party Units) are needed in order to achieve quorum and thus a convention can be done.

60% of the Votes will be needed to endorse a candidate.

This post is an event notice, not the Official Convention Call. HD 66A & HD 66B Republican Delegates & Alternates should have received an Official Convention Call. If you are a Delegate from the last Precinct Caucuses in February 2026 in HD 66A or HD 66B Republicans you are eligible to vote in this Senate District Convention. If you are an Alternate and are Seated in place of an Absent Delegate you will be able to vote in this Convention. — admin

#ProLifeSunday: Happy Mother’s Day May 10, 2026

Not enough flowers to say, "Thanks Mom for all you do for me."
Not enough flowers to say, “Thanks Mom for all you do for me.”

This Sunday is Mother’s Day and we would like to thank all the mothers out there for being there at every step of life.  You’ve nurtured, supported, and loved us.  You’ve made us into the people we are today.

#ProLifeSunday Thanks to Mothers

not enough flowers to say, "Thanks mom."
not enough flowers to say, “I love you mom.”

There aren’t enough flowers and presents to say thank you to mothers.

We House District 66B Republicans celebrate the entire family. We include Fathers, Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Brothers & Sisters & Cousins, Friends & Colleagues.   Our extended families have helped us grow in areas that our parents may have overlooked, or helped us to relate to our parents to know that they were once like us at one point in the past.

Cutting any part of the family out of the picture diminishes the resources one can draw upon.

While there might be a number of fantastic mothers who vote for Democrat candidates, we have to take issue with them because they support the destruction of life during a pregnancy.  They support Planned Parenthood, a taxpayer supported organization that draws upon the tenets of Eugenics that were supported by their founder Margaret Sanger and the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg who had been their attorney, as well as Senator Tina Smith who used to be a Vice President of MN Planned Parenthood.  Eugenics derived from Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution and the idea of “survival of the fittest.”  Sanger believed that there are certain undesirables in the human population.

Happy Mother's Day
Happy Mother’s Day

To end on a positive note we would like to thank all the Pro-life Mothers serving as legislators in the Minnesota State Legislature.

Happy Mother’s Day

It is a different sort of Mother’s Day this year since Roe v Wade has been overturned by the US Supreme Court and extreme abortion has been passed into law in Minnesota by party line votes. This article is reposted from saintpaulrepublicans.us and was edited for this site by permission. — admin

Weigh in with Public Comments on Metro Transit’s H-Line by May 4th

Leave a comment

Metro Transit started planning for the H-Line Bus Rapid Transit line in 2025 that starts in Downtown Minneapolis runs along the 3A Bus Route and then instead of turning at Rice Street, it continues down Maryland Avenue, across I-35E, and down to White Bear Avenue where it travels out to the Sun Ray Shopping Center. It might replace the 3A bus route.

The problem with this plan is the BRT on other lines have Stations that are a quarter mile apart. Having only 4 Stations per mile seems like an inconvenience to those that might want to ride on the line. Anyone who has ever ridden on a bus knows that they are slow and stop at multiple stops along their bus route. Eliminating a bus route that does stop often isn’t a good idea.

Other BRTs like the A-Line has many riders who don’t pay to ride on it. The stations are poorly designed with card readers often not on the side of the station that most riders approach it from. The heaters are often broken and they don’t protect waiting riders at the stations from cold winter winds.

If you want to submit your comments you can do so by clicking the link below.  While they are ending the comments by May 4th, 2026.

Perhaps Local Party Units in St Paul & Minneapolis should have townhall meetings to discuss the impact this costly transit line which will inconvenience many riders.

To comment hit the link and follow the directions on the Metro Transit website.

Metro Transit’s Project Schedule for the H-Line:

  • 2025-2026: Planning
  • 2026-2027: Engineering
  • 2028-2029: Construction

HD 66B Republicans is posting this for all residents who regularly ride the 3A & 80 Buses. Metro Transit doesn’t seem to listen to people even when they submit public comments. It’s part of the process they have to go through. They will often remove bus stops without public input. — admin
