MAPE endorses Dayton for governor

“We believe Mark Dayton is the best candidate for governor of Minnesota,” said MAPE Statewide President Chet Jorgenson. “Minnesotans know and trust Mark Dayton. His commitment to our state has been proven through decades of public service.”

Said MAPE Executive Director Jim Monroe, “Mark Dayton knows the importance of the vital services that our members provide, and he has a plan to fix the state’s massive budget deficit. The other candidates in the governor’s race don’t have realistic plans to fix the budget deficit or to create jobs.”

Like MAPE, Mark Dayton believes in government efficiency, the union said. MAPE has proposed limiting state agency supervisory/managerial personnel to no more than 15 percent of state agencies\’ general workforce. That would save an estimated $110 million for the biennium.

This endorsement comes with the full grassroots support of Team MAPE, the political arm of MAPE. MAPE has nearly 13,000 members and is the second largest union of state employees.
