Mulder ran unsuccessfully as an Independent Republican candidate for the Minnesota House of Representatives in 1992.[3] Running again with the party in 1994, Mulder won the District 21B election over Democratic incumbent Andy Steensma, 7,198 votes to 6,261.[4]
Tenure
In 1996, Mulder defended a state law supporting the practice of "drive-through" infant deliveries, saying "I made sure my wife stayed in the hospital five days, but then she told me it was a waste of money... I did some research and found that many mothers couldn't accord the longer stay and in most cases, it just wasn't necessary."[5]
