Margaret Anderson Kelliher for Governor

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.

“It’s volunteers like you in offices just like this all across the state who are going to win this election, and get Minnesota back to work,” said Gunyou. “Margaret and I are so grateful for your support. Now let’s go out and win this election!”

Kelliher’s field organization is second to none in the race for Governor. According to the Star Tribune, “She has generated a "ground campaign" of volunteers reminiscent of those built by past DFL masters of grass-roots politics Paul Wellstone and Hubert Humphrey.”

That ground operation is persuading undecided voters one-by-one to vote for Margaret Anderson Kelliher on August 10^th.

Kelliher is encouraging all her supporters to join the Get Out The Vote effort this week. Volunteers can find their nearest GOTV locations online at www.margaretforgovernor.com/GOTV. Kelliher will kick off a final 5-day, statewide, targeted GOTV effort with an event Thursday morning at DFL Headquarters in St. Paul. The event will begin at 10:00am.
