Patty Wetterling endorses Gaertner
Child safety activist and two-time 6th Congressional District DFL candidate Patty Wetterling has endorsed Ramsey County Attorney Susan Gaertner for governor.
“Throughout her career, Susan has demonstrated a passionate commitment to the families and communities of her jurisdiction. In addition to successfully prosecuting many dangerous offenders, she has led innovative projects that have made significant long-term impacts on the youth and families of Ramsey County,” said Wetterling in an endorsement letter.
And while on the theme of endorsements and the 6th District, 6th District Congressional hopeful Sen. Tarryl Clark, DFL-St. Cloud, has been endorsed by the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Minnesota Council, in her run for Congress.
“Whenever Minnesota’s workers have needed her, Tarryl has been there,” said Julie Schnell, President of the SEIU Minnesota State Council in a press release.
Meanwhile, in a definitely related matter, 6th District Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, R-Stillwater, sent out an appeal to supporters for campaign donations before the end of the month in order to meet the next quarterly fund raising report.
” I must show a solid bank account to keep the Democrats from pouring millions into my opponents’ campaigns. They’ve spent millions here before, and right now they’re gearing up to do it again!” Bachmann says in the email.
Yesterday Bachmann penned a letter to U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack encouraging him to include strong representation from Minnesota on the new Dairy Advisory Committee.
