Why Should You Vote for Jim Arlt as House District 58B Representative?

In this video, Jim Arlt, a candidate for the House District 58B, which includes the Dakota County precinct of Northfield, tells you why you should vote for him.

No questions. Sixty-three seconds. Why should you be elected?

It was that simple. Northfield Patch spent the past few weeks meeting with candidates in Northfield-related races to have them tell you, the constituent, why you should vote for them in their respective races.

They could talk about anything they wanted: their experience, the issues or why they're a better option than their opponents. We wanted to take this approach because if you ran into a candidate on the street and he or she had your attention for a minute, what would they say to get your vote?
