Margaret Anderson Kelliher for Governor

Dear DFLers,

I’m writing to ask you to vote for Margaret Anderson Kelliher in Tuesday’s primary, and to volunteer your time and effort in any way you can over the next few days.  I had planned to spend this weekend helping Margaret at events around the state, but on Monday my family received the very sad news that my mom had passed away.  While I will be there in spirit, I know there will be thousands of you cheering Margaret on and your support will be critical to her victory.

Throughout this long campaign, Margaret has clearly demonstrated that she has the experience and vision to lead Minnesota out of these difficult times. Her dedication to producing results that benefit our state is exactly what we need in the governor’s mansion for the next four years.  

We DFLers are lucky to have had so many strong candidates for governor, but now is the time to come together behind Margaret and enter the general election united and unstoppable.  I know I can count on you to join me.

Sincerely,

Amy Klobuchar

SAINT PAUL, MN – DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher gathered with supporters at DFL Headquarters today in Saint Paul. Kelliher and DFL supporters kicked off a massive 5-day Get-Out-The-Vote effort ahead of the August 10^th primary.

“I am proud to stand here as your DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor,” Kelliher said to a cheering crowd of DFLers. “We will win on August 10^th because thousands of Minnesotans poured hours of their time and hard work into this campaign. We will win because of you.”

This week, volunteers are making more than 295,000 phone calls and knocking on 30,000 doors in every corner of the state. It’s part of an aggressive final push leading up to the August 10^th primary.

“Hard-working, dedicated volunteers are talking with their friends and neighbors across Minnesota about why Margaret should be our next Governor,” said Kelliher campaign manager Jaime Tincher.

In politics and policy, Margaret Anderson Kelliher is best for the DFL.

EDITORIAL BOARD

Minnesotans go to the polls Tuesday to choose who will compete for the governorship. DFLers trying to win a governor’s race for the first time since most students were born face a three-way choice between some of the more experienced politicians in the race. Yet they must nominate the candidate with the ideas necessary to pull the state out of its upcoming $6 billion budget deficit. That candidate is Margaret Anderson Kelliher. 

Since funding determines the level of services the state can provide — education, health care, safety — any candidate who wants to make changes in these areas must be able to find a way to pay for them.  The key question for the upcoming DFL primary is simple: Who among the candidates has a solid plan for the state of Minnesota and the political acumen to implement it?

DULUTH, MN – From the North Shore to the Minnesota River Valley, volunteers in every corner of the state were making phone calls and knocking on doors today for DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher. It’s part of a massive ground operation to make 295,000 phone calls and knock on 30,000 doors in just one week.

“Hard-working, dedicated volunteers across Minnesota are making all the difference in this election,” said Kelliher campaign manager Jaime Tincher. “Knocking on thousands of doors and making thousands of phone calls – that’s how you win a primary election in Minnesota.”

Kelliher volunteers reached out to more than 26,130 DFL primary voters today, bringing Margaret’s message of good jobs and great schools to every corner of the state.

Kelliher’s running mate John Gunyou fired up supporters making phone calls in Duluth this afternoon. Volunteers of all ages were on the phones, making the case to vote for Margaret Anderson Kelliher in the August 10^th primary election.
