quitters never win

Minnesota families are disappointed as they remember former Congressman Rick Nolan’s quitters attitude in Congress. While Congressman Nolan was giving himself pay raise after pay raise, he was also missing over 30 percent of the votes at the end of his time in Washington. Rick Nolan shamefully ended his career by quitting on Minnesota families and missing 37.1% of the votes. That’s not the Minnesota way.

We can see that Congressman Rick Nolan didn’t really care much about his time representing Minnesota and he wasn’t shy about telling voters. In 1980, former Congressman Rick Nolan said, “I don’t know how I get elected or whether it’s worth it.” (St. Paul Sunday Pioneer Press, Dec. 14, 1980)

But now former Congressman Nolan is having revisionist history when it comes to his time in Congress. He tells Minnesota families that as a member in the 70’s he worked harder than members do now. But in a rare moment of honesty, Congressman Nolan admitted to barely working during his time in Congress.

NRCC Statement: “Former Congressman Rick Nolan has proven that quitting on Minnesota families is part of his constituent services. If Congressman Nolan is sent back to Congress, Minnesota families can count on him to continue earmarking money into his own paycheck while avoiding any real work for Minnesota.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Katie Prill
