I have some relatives in Paulsen's district so I was heartened to see this on Kos:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2018/9/19/1797063/-Two-Florida-Polls-Show-Small-Gillum-Lead

In Minnesota CD-3, Cook’s Report says Republicans are thinking of giving up on Paulsen because he is polling poorly and has voted too much in line with Trump.

A new New York Times/Siena poll showed Phillips leading the incumbent 51 percent to 42 percent, mirroring private data collected by both parties. And Democrats have already reserved millions in the Minneapolis market to argue Paulsen has "voted with Trump 97 percent of the time." GOP outside groups have begun discussing shifting funds elsewhere. The race moves from Toss Up to the Lean Democratic column.

YEEEEEE-HAW!

He hasn't held a town hall meeting in seven years. He hides from constituents, votes with Trump, and is generally a waste of DNA.

And I'm pretty sure she can't stand Paulsen.

I have yet to see one positive ad from the Paulsen campaign on what he's doing or wants to do in Washington. All the ads that he endorses are hit jobs on Phillips.
