PARADE SEASON HAS BEGUN – SUPPORT OUR ENDORSED CANDIDATES AT YOUR LOCAL PARADE….

Brothers and Sisters,

Parade season has begun! Please support our endorsed candidates, by walking with them in your local parade, or as a spectator and cheering them as they pass by. Show your Union pride by wearing a Local 343 T-shirt or a shirt supporting your favorite candidate. The IBEW Local 343 COPE Committee has voted to endorse the following candidates for Minnesota statewide office. You won’t see these candidates in every one of these parades, but they are all DFL candidates and local DFL party units will be in the parades showing support. If I missed an event in your area give me a call and we will update the list.

Tim Walz for Governor

Peggy Flanagan for Lt. Governor

Keith Ellison for Attorney General

Steve Simon for Secretary of State

Julie Blaha for State Auditor
