That's Sen. Michele Bachmann - Minnesota's Marilyn Musgrave - or Arlon Lindner with good hair.

From the Coon Rapids Herald:

Bachmann also cited her anti-abortion stance and support for banning same-sex marriage - she sees the need for both federal and state constitutional amendments.

This letter was published in the Stillwater Gazette today:

To the Editor:

The state is over a billion dollars in the red. The governor has proposed that tens of thousands of Minnesotans be cut off from the bare minimum health care they can afford. College tuition is going through the roof. Twin Citians are spending more and more time on congested roadways and less and less time with their families. And more of our state's lakes, rivers and streams are polluted than ever before.

So what has our State Senator Michele Bachmann done so far this legislative session to improve the lives of her constituents in District 52?

Authored a resolution purporting to recognize Ronald Reagan’s birthday that was, instead, a thinly disguised piece of right-wing propaganda that would have made Joseph Goebbels proud.

• Authored a bill to designate highway I-494/694 “Ronald Reagan Beltway,â€� and spend thousands of tax dollars erecting signs announcing that.
  Authored a bill to make taking a free ride on the light-rail train a petty misdemeanor.
  
  
• These are the priorities of Michele Bachmann. Wouldn’t it be nice if District 52 actually had someone representing us at the capitol, instead of a self-serving state senator who is using her office to grandstand her way—and her extremist agenda—to higher office?

• Perhaps Bachmann should retire now and save us from further embarrassment so she can get on with her Congressional campaign legitimately, rather than have the taxpayers continue to subsidize it.
