dbpprop:abstract
  • Andy J. Welti is a member of the Minnesota House of Representatives. A Democrat, he was first elected in 2004, defeating four-term incumbent Republican Bill Kuisle. Just 24 years of age at the time, his victory over Kuisle (who served as chair of the Transportation Committee, and was also a member of the Ways and Means Committee) is regarded as a significant political upset in the traditionally Republican area. Welti won re-election in 2006 with 52% of the vote and again in 2008 with 56% of the vote. Both contests were re-matches against Kuisle. In the aftermath of the 2008 election, he was elected by his DFL colleagues as one of eight assistant majority leaders. His legislative work focuses largely on veteran's affairs, education, agriculture and alternative energy. Welti represents District 30B, which contains parts of Rochester and largely rural areas of Olmsted, Winona, and Wabasha Counties, including the towns of Stewartville, Dover, Eyota, Chatfield, part of St. Charles, and his home town of Plainview. His parents continue to own and operate a farm located just outside of Plainview.
