Madeline Island summer resident campaigning for Minnesota U.S. Senate seat

A friend and client of mine is making a run for United States Senator from Minnesota.

Attorney Priscilla Lord Faris, daughter of retired Minnesota Attorney General and Federal Court Judge Miles Lord, announced her candidacy for U. S. Senate in Minnesota on July 15.  Faris will be opposing incumbent Senator Norm Coleman and DFL-endorsed challenger Al Franken in the Senate race.

Priscilla Lord Faris

Priscilla and her husband Wayne became summer residents on Madeline Island seven years ago.  I'm proud to say I sold them their Madeline Island home.  Priscilla's no rookie when it comes to political involvement.  Her family has a long history of involvement in Minnesota politics.  Among other things, she worked for the campaign of Senator Hubert Humphrey in 1968 and she has served on the Sunfish Lake, Minnesota City Council. 

And on top of that, Priscilla Faris holds a real estate broker's license in both Minnesota and Wisconsin.

I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Priscilla and I wish her well in her endeavors, both personal and political.  Embarking on a third-party campaign is hardly an easy task.  Fortunately, Priscilla Faris has the wisdom and experience that it takes to accomplish her goal.  Her father, Miles Lord, enjoyed a distinguished career as a well-known and much-admired attorney and Federal Judge.

Kristina,

I wish Priscilla had entered the race for Senate earlier in the year, but I think she's a viable alternative that deserves consideration.  I hope she gets the media exposure her campaign deserves!
