MN Women’s Political Caucus backs Gaertner
The Minnesota Women's Political Caucus announced that it's backing Democrat Susan Gaertner's bid for governor. Here's the release from Gaertner's campaign:
(St. Paul, MN) DFL Governor candidate Susan Gaerter was delighted to receive the endorsement of the Minnesota Women's Political Caucus (MWPC) Saturday night in St. Paul.
"I am very honored to receive the endorsement of a great grass roots organization of home-grown Minnesotans," Gaertner said. "They have done a lot for giving women a voice."
The endorsement came at the group's annual meeting and was based on a vote of the statewide, multi-partisan membership of the MWPC. The group also endorsed candidates for other Minnesota races at the same meeting.
The MWPC was founded in 1972 and has been endorsing candidates for over 30 years. MWPC lobbies on issues of concern to women at the legislature and provides a variety of programs for women involved or interested in becoming involved in politics. This has been done by targeting, endorsing, contributing funds and volunteers and working to publicize women's campaigns.
