Brady Nelson, president of Steelworkers Local 1163 in Cloquet, which includes mill workers at Sappi Fine Papers, said he found it “disturbing” that Cravaack would call Social Security and Medicare “entitlement programs” when the recipients, working Americans, had paid into them all their lives. Instead of cutting benefits or privatizing the programs, Nelson said, Congress should raise the income level under which people must contribute to bring in more revenue. But that also would require employers to pay more in taxes and could reduce jobs, Cravaack responded.

Critics, especially DFL-leaning labor and community leaders, had said Cravaack was dodging Duluth because he didn’t want to face their charges that he has voted against labor and middle-class Minnesotans while siding with big business. They chided Cravaack for attending a $1,000-per-person Republican fundraiser in the Minneapolis suburb of Wayzata last week.
