Who is Ron Erhardt?

Ron Erhardt is a Minnesotan politician and member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. A member of the Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party, he represents District 49A, which includes Edina in Hennepin County.

Until July 2008, Erhardt had been a registered member of the Republican Party of Minnesota and had always ran as a Republican. For nine terms he achieved fairly easy election victories, even when other Republicans did poorly. In 2006 he still won with 59.5%. However, during this time District 41A has gone from Republican-leaning to a swing district with candidates of both major parties succeeding in the same elections. Such as supporting Democrats John Kerry in the 2004 election and Amy Klobuchar for US Senate in 2006 while at the same time voting strongly for Republicans such as Jim Ramstad followed by Erik Paulsen for U.S. Congress, and for the subject of this article, Ron Erhardt, who won as an endorsed Republican in those same 2004 and 2006 elections with a 60% plurality.
