Glen Menze
An accountant and business consultant from Starbuck who also has farmed with relatives for 30 years, Menze is making his second bid for the Seventh District seat. In 2000, he lost the general election by a wide margin to incumbent Collin Peterson. He once described himself as a “compassionate conservative Republican,” but said he now thinks of himself as “more of a populist conservative.” He enters the race pushing for comprehensive immigration reform to better control U.S. borders, permanent tax cuts and less government interference on small businesses.
