When previewing the Republican primary for House Distrct 11 back in Novemeber, we pointed out that former Fairview Mayor Randall Shedd “may garner the backing of the AEA.” Shedd is now engaged in a runoff (TODAY!) with Danny Alldredge after no candidate was able to crack 50% in the primary, and AEA is leaving no doubt about who they support.

The below mail piece hit mailboxes in the 11th district over the last couple of days. AEA has lent their support to several candidates in recent Republican primaries, but it was mostly behind-the-scenes. Is this public show of support late in the primary a preview of what we can expect in 2014?
