The Associated Press reported this afternoon that Patty Wetterling is considering a run for Congress. No doubt Patty’s campaign will draw renewed attention to unsolved missing person cases in our district, including that of Josh. If Patty wins the race, cases such as Josh’s will likely receive increased scrutiny and additional government resources. According to the AP report, Patty "said she would focus on children's issues, but declined to be more specific. She also said she was not considering a run out of any sense of dissatisfaction" with the incumbent. Patty is "a national expert on child safety. She's credited with several state and national legislative accomplishments, including Minnesota's 1992 Sex Offender Registration Law. She also played a prominent role in establishing the Amber Alert system in Minnesota."
