[Mpls] 8th ward forum and Marie Hauser endorsement

[stevejevning at earthlink.net]

The candidate forum at Phelps Park in the 8th Ward was interesting. The candidates are becoming more confident and comfortable with their positions. "Undecideds" are probably still hoping to see some differences in the office seekers. The five hopefuls have a little over a week to make their case.

Lest we forget the "L" in DFL, I'll pass along this message from the Marie Hauser campaign:

Minnesota DRIVE endorses Marie Hauser
The Minnesota Teamsters political committee, Minnesota DRIVE (Democrat Republication Independent Voter Education) commission has endorsed Marie Hauser for the Minneapolis City Council – Ward 8.  Don Gerdesmeier, DRIVE representative and political director said, “We know [Marie] will work to protect the rights of Minnesota’s working men and women. We wish [her] great success.” Teamsters Joint Council 32 represents 65,000 members in 19 affiliated local unions.
