Simply Right in the Media

Tea Party activist Takala starts political fund

Rudy Takala, a 21-year-old Tea Party activist who recently lost a Republican primary battle in Pine County, is behind a new political action fund to support conservative lawmakers.

Simply Right Conservatives, started this week, lists Dick Kuzel as chair and David Ostenson and Connie Takala as treasurers. But Connie said it's Rudy, her son, who is behind the effort.  They have yet to raise any money but Connie said when they do, they plan to back candidates who are “constitutional conservatives."

“Simply Right has been holding meetings for over a year now, but it’s been a casual gathering of conservatives or candidates, or just people who are working for the conservative cause,” Connie said. “It’s been a chance to get together and know we are not alone, and now it’s turned into a PAC group in order to further help conservatives.”
