BURNSVILLE, Minn. — Joe Teirab, Republican candidate for Minnesota’s Second Congressional District, issued the following statement on Tayler Rahm’s decision to suspend his campaign.

“I want to extend my sincere gratitude to Tayler Rahm for his selfless decision to step out of the race in order to help re-elect Donald J. Trump as President. Tayler is a strong conservative and a relentless fighter for the America First agenda. He ran a great campaign, and I can’t think of a better person to help mobilize grassroots conservatives across Minnesota. Together, we will unify and strengthen our party, retire extreme Democrat Angie Craig, and re-elect President Donald Trump with a resounding victory starting right here in Minnesota.”
