1. Emmers lost a Gov. race..he turned to the lobbyist money..MTN..

GOP Speaker Candidate Tom Emmer Opposed Cancer Treatment Clinics as a Lobbyist in 2011

Emmer’s lobbying job was to prevent more cancer clinics from opening in the state, which would help existing cancer treatment groups to have less competition. This means fighting for less treatment options for the people of Minnesota is how Emmer made his money as a lobbyist.Nice guy..

2. Scott had 14 votes and is a strong McCarthy supporter

When Scalise withdrew from the race to replace McCarthy, Scott came in second to Jordon inside the House Republican caucus to get its nod next. Emmer should get most of Scott;s votes, maybe enough to put him over the top, but if not damn close to it.
