U.S. Rep. Erik Paulsen, R-Minn., represents Minnesota's Third Congressional District. He voted against the health care reform legislation that passed the House of Representatives yesterday.

The Minnesota congressional delegation split evenly on the health care overhaul, predictably along party lines, except for Democrat Colin Peterson who voted no on the bill. Among the Republicans voting no was Erik Paulsen, who joined MPR's Steven John on All Things Considered.
