Gaertner endorses Entenza for governor
Ramsey County Attorney and former DFL gubernatorial candidate Susan Gaertner has endorsed former House DFL minority leader Matt Entenza for governor.
In part, Gaertner credited Entenza — locked in primary battle with House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher and former U.S. senator Mark Dayton — as understanding families.
She also explained her endorsement as an outgrowth of the political loyalty Entenza has shown her.
Entenza called Gaertner a proven-voted getter and depicted her endorsement as one carrying sway.
“I think her endorsement will be something very significant,” said Entenza.
Gaertner indicated that she had been in contact with the Dayton and Kelliher campaigns, but would not indicated whether the two campaigns sought her endorsement.
