(ST. CLOUD TIMES) A Circle Pines woman and lead-abatement activist has become the first DFLer to announce a run for the congressional seat now held by Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Judy Adams said Monday she will seek the DFL endorsement in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District.
Adams, who calls herself “the lead-prevention lady,” hasn’t run for or held elected office. She says she works as a painter and lead remodeler and has used her expertise on those issues to lobby Minnesota legislators to improve state lead laws. Now Adams says she’d like to advance that cause, as well as the cause of small businesses, as a member of Congress.
