Ondich Files For MN State House 55B

My name is Josh D. Ondich, I am running in MN State House District 55B which consists of Prior Lake, parts of Shakopee

My name is Josh D. Ondich, I am running for state representative in state House District 55B which consists of Prior Lake, parts of Shakopee, Jordan, Spring Lake and Credit River townships.

I am running as an Independence Party candidate. Why Independence Party? I feel the DFL and GOP no longer represent the interests of the people that elect them to serve. I believe candidates of both parties that cater to special interest groups or accept Political Action Committee money only serve the interests of the groups that donated to their campaigns. My campaign will not accept PAC donations or donations from lobbyists. I feel my obligation as a public servant would be to focus on the concerns and issues of the people of Scott County.

The slogan of my campaign is “Get government out of our personal lives and get special interests out of lawmaking.” I believe we need elected officials in St. Paul that will respect the rights of everyone and not govern by special interest or ideological bias. You do have a choice in 55B this year. If you feel fed up by the status quo of the two-party and St. Paul politics as usual, visit my website at www.lookjoshup.com or email me with me questions at josh.duke.ondich@outlook.com.
