Winning with the religious right vote in Minneapolis? Barb Davis White is going to try

| | Comments (0)
barbwflag.jpgMinnpost's Doug Grow this week introduced readers to Bard Davis White, the GOP endorsed candidate for the 5th Congressional district.

Davis is running on the hopes that Minneapolitans find Rep. Keith Ellison "too liberal." Davis White might need to revisit the various voting blocks in the district.

Despite the district's large number of immigrants, Davis White firmly advocates for border fences, "legal immigrants must assimilate into our culture rather than try to retain an old one," and she advocates that English be the official language of the United States.

She's staunchly pro-life in a pro-choice state. Polls consistently show that Minnesotans identify themselves as pro-choice, and the people Minneapolis and the first-ring suburbs that comprise the 5th are undoubtedly more pro-choice than the state as a whole.

She strongly opposes rights for same-sex couples saying, "That's the way of God.''

The 5th is home to one of the largest concentrations of same-sex couples in the country. It's also ranked 10th in the nation (out of 435) in gay, lesbian and bisexual population size with an estimated 42,124 eligible voters.

"With my background there's nowhere in Minneapolis I can't go and be comfortable,'' Davis White told Minnpost. Has she been to the Gay 90s?
