Minnesota House Speaker Margaret Anderson Kelliher Endorses Clinton


"Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to deliver the change this country needs," Speaker Anderson Kelliher said. "She is uniquely qualified to lead this nation from her first day in the White House, and set about tackling the challenges we face at home and abroad."

In her first year as Speaker of the Minnesota House, Anderson Kelliher passed into law the nation’s leading renewable energy standard, requiring that 20% of the state’s energy consumption be renewable by 2020. Speaker Anderson Kelliher also emphasized the connection between higher education and job creation and provided the largest funding boost to Minnesota’s higher education system in years. In the aftermath of the tragic I35W bridge collapse, Anderson Kelliher has pressed for additional state and federal resources to rebuild and improve Minnesota’s transportation infrastructure.

Minnesota Assistant Senate Majority Leader Tarryl Clark Endorses Clinton


“America needs change, and Hillary Clinton has the strength and experience to deliver it,” Clark said. “She is ready to begin tackling our challenges at home and abroad on her first day in the White House.”

Elected to the Minnesota Senate in 2005 and reelected in 2006, Clark quickly rose to the second-highest leadership position in the caucus. A bipartisan problem solver, Clark has worked across the aisle to pass legislation to help seniors stay in their homes, to help reintegrate our returning veterans, and to make sure our youngest children are ready for kindergarten.

Clark is a longtime community activist and former executive director of the Minnesota Community Action Partnership and former Associate Chair of the Democratic Farmer-Labor Party. She has also been active in the Children’s Defense Fund-MN and the Legal Services Advocacy Project. As a Commissioner of the St. Cloud Housing and Redevelopment Authority, Clark pushed to expand affordable housing and the creation of good paying jobs.

2. Typical MN DFL corporatist machine...

Just what I'd expect.

3. Wow, Hillary is on a roll. It's amazing how she remains so popular among mainstream Democrats

across the USA.

From what I've heard, she's equally admired throughout the world, just like her husband.

4. Whoever said "money can't buy me love"

was lying.
