Margaret Anderson Kelliher for Governor

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor Margaret Anderson Kelliher will begin airing her first television ad within days. As the campaign gears up to hit the airwaves, thousands of volunteers are bringing Margaret’s message of good jobs and great schools to primary voters on the phones and at the doors every week.

Thirty days out from Election Day, the Kelliher campaign is recruiting thousands of volunteers to contact more than 60,000 voters in a weekend of action – a three-day direct voter contact extravaganza the campaign is calling MAKtion!

“We will win this campaign door-by-door, voter-by-voter,” said Kelliher, the DFL-endorsed candidate for Governor. “Our campaign’s strong grassroots network is reaching voters one-by-one in a ground effort our opponents can’t compete with. That’s how you win a primary election in Minnesota.”

Volunteers will hit the phones and the doors Friday night from 84 different locations in all corners of the state. By Sunday evening, campaign organizers plan to reach 30,000 voters on the phones and 30,000 more at their doors.

“We are connecting with DFL primary voters face-to-face,” said campaign manager Jaime Tincher. “The grassroots momentum behind Margaret’s campaign, combined with television, puts us in the best position to win in August and beat Tom Emmer in November.”

Kelliher is encouraging all DFLers to participate in this weekends’ MAKtion! events.
