Former vice president Walter Mondale endorses Sen. Tarryl Clark
Former Democratic vice president Walter Mondale has endorsed Sen. Tarryl Clark, DFL-St. Cloud, in her run for Congress in the 6th Congressional District.
“I believe that Tarryl Clark can lead the 6th District in a new direction. She will unite us behind positive solutions – a stark change from the controversial comments and partisan rancor we’ve seen over the past few years. She will focus her time and efforts on listening to her constituents and turning ideas into action,” Mondale wrote.
Clark, in a DFL endorsement battle against Dr. Maureen Reed, a doctor of internal medicine and former Independence Party candidate for lieutenant governor, just recently picked up two labor endorsements.
“I’m proud to call Tarryl my friend, and I know that she will make a tremendous Member of Congress,” said Mondale.
Tarryl Clark has done great work for the DFL. However, what that means is that she has voted for many major tax increases and has a very partisan voting record. It’s going to be impossible for her to run and win in the 6th District with her voting record.
If we want to unseat Michele Bachmann the candidate to back is Dr. Maureen Reed. Reed just had an editorial in the SCTimes and recently updated her website.

Reed has broad and extensive experience in Health Care, Business, Education, Environmental Issues and the Arts. She’s is able to tackle health care reform as a Doctor, Health Care Administrator, Medical Director, and Small and Medium Business CEO who had to purchase health insurance for all her employees. Reed is a middle of the road, Minnesota DFLer with the experience to be an effective legislator and a great candidate.
