Endorsements explained

Mayor - Bob Miller
I am endorsing Bob Miller over incumbent R.T. Rybak because of Bob Miller's strong involvement and support in the Neighborhood Revitalization Project (NRP). Bob Miller has been the President of the NRP since 1992. NRP in my opinion has done a lo for my neighborhood (Audubon Park) and many others across the City. NRP has been on the chop block and looks to be at thing of the past if RT Rybak is reelected.

Ward 1 - Doron Clark
After careful consideration Doron is a young professional very involved in his Windom Park Neighborhood. HE is co-chair of Windom Park Citizens in Action He has a strong volunteer background including through his church and with the Big Brothers. Much like Bob Miller, he is a strong NRP supporter. I think his young energetic leadership can bring some real change to Northeast.

Ward 2 - Cam Gordon
This Green Party Guy is a freshman Council member that has served the University and Seward Area well. He is right on environmental and sustainability issues. Also, I don't see a viable DFL contender.

Park Board District 1 - Michael Rainville
DeLaSalle alum and Labor Endorsed - that's all I need.

Caucus Tomorrow!!!

Heyyy DFL members in Minneapolis..... Tomorrow is caucus night!

Time to nominate City officials.

The City of Minneapolis DFL caucuses are Tuesday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m.

Dear Neighbor,

The City of Minneapolis DFL will hold caucuses on Tuesday, March 3 at 7:00 p.m. to prepare for city elections. The business of these caucuses will be:

1. Elect delegates to ward conventions (to endorse City Council candidates)

2. Elect delegates to the Minneapolis city convention (to endorse Mayor, Park Board, and Board of Estimate and Taxation candidates)

3. Elect ward officers and committee members for ward conventions

There will be no straw polling or other voting at this year's caucus, so we have no reason to anticipate the long lines of 2008.

We hope to see you at caucuses! Although it feels like the 2008 election is not over yet (ahem, Senate race), we do have critical business at the city level.
