Today, Stewart Mills III “officially” announced his candidacy in Minnesota’s 8th District, causing a fair amount of déjà-vu – not only has Mills been telling reporters for months he’s been running, but he’s also still peddling the same old failed views that voters rejected in 2014.
As a reminder, Stewart Mills III:
- Says “all options are on the table” when it comes to reforming Social Security
- Opposes raising the minimum wage despite being worth between $34 and $115 million
- Takes money from the job-outsourcing, Duluth factory-shuttering Tea Party Koch brothers
- Wants to kick students off their parents’ plans, charge women more for their health care, and raise the prices of seniors’ prescription medicines
- Is “personally offended” at the idea he should pay his fair share of taxes
“Stewart Mills III may have changed his hair but he hasn’t changed his policies that would hurt the middle class, give tax breaks to people like himself who inherited millions of dollars, and make it harder for seniors to retire,” said Sacha Haworth of the DCCC. “Mills doesn’t seem to understand that 8th District voters decided in 2014 that he is not on the side of working families.”
