“Middle-class Minnesotans face a clear choice in electing a governor this year,” said Shar Knutson, Minnesota AFL-CIO President. “Mark Dayton understands what it is going to take to put Minnesotans back to work, make taxes fair for the middle class, and lead our state back to prosperity.”
In endorsing Dayton, the board of the Minnesota AFL-CIO cited his years of commitment to working Minnesotans through his service as Commissioner of Economic Development, State Auditor, and United States Senator. They also praised his comprehensive jobs plan to build a better Minnesota.

“I am honored and grateful to have the support of the 300,000 hard working men and women of the Minnesota AFL-CIO,” said Dayton. “I have always stood with working women and men, and will continue to stand with them if I am elected governor. Getting Minnesotans back to work will be a top priority of my administration.”
Dayton, who won the Aug. 10 DFL primary, will face Republican Tom Emmer and Independence Party candidate Tom Horner in the Nov. 2 general election.
The Minnesota AFL-CIO is labor federation made up of more than 1,000 affiliate unions, representing over 300,000 working men and women throughout the state.
