Candidate Tim Meyer on losing, in a close race, to opponent Shawn Savela in the District 8B House Republican primary on Tuesday: "I just wanted to thank everyone who came out to vote for me last night. I also wanted to thank my campaign Chairman Atle Rennan and District 3A Forward Party Candidate Rich Tru for their help and support. Thanks also to the new Forward Party of Minnesota. Congratulations to Shawn Savela, who ran a great race and is the beginning of the new Republican Party in Duluth. Although we don’t entirely agree on all the issues, I like him and thank him for being willing to put himself out there to serve our community, as politics at this time is a difficult pursuit. I plan to take some time to decide whether or not to continue in politics. I wanted to thank everyone in District 8B for your kind words and encouragement, especially during the campaign's last few days. Either way, I will continue to serve my community. I love Duluth and believe the best version of our city is yet to come."
