Quist is a creationist who ran for governor of Minnesota as a Republican in 1994 and 1998.
As a legislator, he stirred controversy by launching undercover investigations of gay bath houses and pornographic book stores.
He also said men are "genetically disposed" to be head of the household.
His wife, Julie, is a former radical feminist who once ran a lesbian bookstore. She later became an anti-abortion and Republican activist.
I covered this controversy in Upper St Clair, Pennsylvania (suburb of Pittsburgh) after a parent in the district wrote me for more information about Allen Quist. I was more than happy to oblige.
Both Quists were active in Michele Bachmann's campaign. Julie Quist now works in Michele Bachmann's office.
