ABM hits Emmer on missed votes

The Alliance for a Better Minnesota, which was running ads criticizing Republican Tom Emmer for his past DWIs and his position on DWIs in the Legislature , released a new ad ripping Emmer for his missed votes. You can watch the ad here.

The Alliance for a Better Minnesota is a group funded by labor unions, Native American Tribes and wealthy DFL donors. Several members of Mark Dayton's family have given to the group. Dayton is the DFL candidate for governor.

As I reported earlier this year, Emmer isn't the only candidate to miss votes to campaign for higher office. Several candidates for higher office missed votes to campaign.
