Erwin "Erv" Rud was a 2016 Democratic candidate for District 1B of the Minnesota House of Representatives.

Campaign themes

2016

Rud's campaign website highlighted the following issues:

“

Contributors to state political action committees (PAC's) must be disclosed.:

  • Voters’ choice of candidates should be based on facts and debates. Causing voter confusion, doubt, discouragement, frustration and anger is a form of voter fraud when PAC contributors hide themselves and their agendas. It is not free speech.
  • I support the DFL proposed Disclosure Act to amend the State Constitution that would end secret contributor funding of PAC’s. See

Money must not be allowed to control our national democracy:

  • When elected, I will reintroduce Minnesota SF17 resolution in the House requesting the U.S. Congress to propose a U.S. Constitutional Amendment. If Congress does not propose an amendment, Congress will be requested to call a constitutional convention to propose an amendment clarifying that protected rights under the Constitution are the rights of natural persons and not the rights of artificial entities. This resolution also requests such amendment also state that spending money to influence elections is not speech under the First Amendment.

Minnesota state government needs to be reorganized:

  • Voting Machines Must Be Replaced. Current machines are too old and too unreliable. More voting machines need to be added to the current inventory and quick response stock needs to be available to be brought to those precincts where voting times exceeds 15 minutes.

Minnesota state government shall maintain employee numbers adequate for the tasks requiring service support.:

  • No state agency can outsource employment of any other state or country. State contracts shall be awarded to those businesses that do not outsource labor to any other state or country.

Education Must Be Supported At All Levels.:

1. Pre-K is a win-win investment to develop the rural economy.

  • It has been shown that 4-year-old youngsters learn better throughout their entire lives when they have a jump start before starting kindergarten as 5-year-olds. This early orientation allows them to be better grounded in the educational processes the rest of their lives. The average reading and math proficiency ratings for District 1B schools would be improved in turn providing students with better choices for higher level schools. Better educated people are better qualified for available jobs and international competition. These better paying jobs pay taxes paying that can reduce the growth of State taxes because they do not need the safety net programs required to provide basic necessities. THAT IS A WIN.[1]
 ”
