Related: About this forumCampaign platforms take shape for Mills, Nolan
http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/politics/3863677-campaign-platforms-take-shape-mills-nolanCandidates are dusting off issues that were mainstays in their prior matchup in 2014, like Obamacare and America's foreign policy in the Middle East. However, they're also adopting new ideas in order to capitalize on public outcry from recent controversies.
For Mills, this involves channeling uproar sparked with recently released anti-abortion videos that purport to show Planned Parenthood's sale of fetal tissue for research.
Nolan taps into populism through a new degree of emphasis on gun control following a spate of mass shootings across the nation. The most recent shooting to be widely publicized was at a community college in Roseburg, Ore. While Mills makes a practice of highlighting that Nolan is F-rated by the National Rifle Association, Nolan derided Mills as a "gun salesman" in an interview.
Nolan said while he supports the Second Amendment, there can be a balance between that and gun safety.
Mills said the 2016 election "isn't going be about guns."

Etc., etc. I'm always wary about the gun issue here in the Eighth, but if Mills is going to run on Planned Parenthood, HAVE AT IT.

a central part of his campaign. That will hurt him on the range and in other parts of his district. The fact that Mills Fleet Farm sells guns will not help Nolan attract a lot of votes in most of the 8th.
