Today is the day we have been waiting for. We have the opportunity to elect Mark Dayton as Governor, somebody who cares about us and will put Minnesota families back to work.
Everything is pointing to a close election, so Mark and our other labor-endorsed candidates need you to show up at the polls.
Labor-Endorsed Mark Dayton fires up a crowd of 500+ delegates to the Minnesota AFL-CIO state convention.
St. Paul – Upon learning of Republican Gubernatorial Candidate Tom Emmer’s “budget plan” today, Minnesota AFL-CIO President Shar Knutson issued the following statement:
“Tom Emmer’s so-called plan is simply more of the same Tim Pawlenty policies of the last eight years that have failed to create family-sustaining jobs for middle class Minnesotans
As a legislator, Tom Emmer voted against job creation at nearly every turn; so it’s hard to take him seriously.
Southeast Area Labor Council President Laura Askelin wants you to know that as Governor, Mark Dayton will make taxes fair for middle class Minnesotans. Right now, the rich pay a lower percentage of their income in state and local taxes than middle class families do. Mark Dayton will act to ensure taxes are fair for everyone.
