Minnesota Report
Some will question the rationale for a legislator to endorse a candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. Its quite simple to understand why a fellow state senator will put forward their support for a colleague in Sen Omar Fateh (DS-62, Minneapolis) it because if he loses he is still a senator. Because the mayoral election is held in an odd-year, it has no adverse impact for a legislator.
The list of senator endorsers are the following: Sens Dorian Clark (DFL-60,Minneapolis), Jen McEwen (DFL-08, Duluth), Aric Putnam (DFL-14, St Cloud), Liz Bolden (DFL-25, Rochester) John Hoffman (DFL-34, Champlain), Susan Pha (DFL-38, Brooklyn Park), Mary Kunesh (DFL-39, Little Canada), Tua Xiong (DFL-44, Maplewood), Jim Carlson (DFL-52, Apple Valley) and Foung Hawj (DFL-67, St Paul).
