Capitol Chatter: Powers announces Kline challenge
Democrat Dan Powers plans to challenge four-term U.S. Rep. John Kline in next year's election.
Powers lives in Burnsville and owns a small remodeling business.
"As a small business owner I found out how hard it can be to run a business and what obstacles can be placed in your way by government," he said. "As an independent contractor I saw the holes and traps that can snare even the diligent. I have felt how health care costs have soared with no end in sight. It is time for a change."
