“I am honored to have earned the confidence of so many residents in the 10th Congressional District.” Dold continued, “My campaign’s message focusing on getting Americans back to work, reining in out of control spending and keeping the U.S. safe and free is resonating. I will work to bring small business common sense thinking to Washington and bring real solu tions to our nation’s problems.”
Dold, owner and president of a Northfield-based small business is running against the 10th Districts’ perennial candidate, Dan Seals, in one of the most competitive House districts in the country.
