Clinton writes letter for Clark
Former President Bill Clinton is providing some support for DFL congressional candidate Tarryl Clark.
Clinton wrote a fundraising appeal for Clark, who's trying to unseat incumbent 6th District Republican Michele Bachmann. In the letter, Clinton said the district deserves "a leader who will deliver results instead of divisive partisan rhetoric."
Here's the letter:
Dear ______,
To renew the American promise and make our government actually work for people, especially during these difficult times, we need the best public servants to step forward and lead.
That's why I support Minnesota State Senator Tarryl Clark for Congress, and hope you will, too.
Tarryl is running against Congresswoman Michele Bachmann in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District. The people of the 6th District deserve a leader who will deliver results instead of divisive partisan rhetoric; who will roll up her sleeves and get to work on the critical issues instead of just getting people wound up about them.
Tarryl Clark is the leader Minnesota's 6th District needs in Congress. This race is a truly unique opportunity to change Washington for the better. It will mean a lot to families - in Minnesota and across America -- to have Tarryl Clark working in Congress for the causes that matter to all of us.
As a State Senator, Tarryl has been a voice for common sense, and for the kind of positive change we still so desperately need. She's worked to create jobs and help small businesses expand. She has led efforts to protect senior citizens, to bolster early childhood education, and to invest in critical infrastructure projects. She's worked to make college affordable and health care accessible. She's been a leader on veterans' issues, particularly in helping veterans returning from combat duty transition into to civilian life.
From her accomplishments representing Central Minnesota in the State Senate, to her leadership in heading organizations such as Habitat for Humanity and the Community Action Partnership, Tarryl Clark has dedicated her life to making Minnesota better. And she's delivered results.
Tarryl is a friend and ally we can count on, who will make a real difference for Minnesota's families in Congress. But first, she needs our help to win this election.
Join me by making a secure online contribution of $25, $50, $100 or more to Tarryl Clark's campaign today. I'm proud to support Tarryl Clark, and I hope I can count on you to do the same.
Personally,
Bill Clinton
p.s. Tarryl is running a campaign in the Minnesota tradition: with a vast coalition of grassroots supporters, energetic volunteers, and a commitment to common sense values that Minnesotans expect from their leaders. That's how she's going to win. But to do it, she needs your support today. Please join me by making a contribution now.
