No Endorsement
The Star Tribune has chosen not to endorse in the 3rd CD. How a DFL’er who hasn’t written porn can fail to get the Star Tribune’s endorsement is a bit of a mystery, but the editorial board gives a clue with this:
At the last debate, Madia was less polished on policy than his two rivals and repeated an error made in his endorsement interview — that the Employee Free Choice Act would not allow a unionization drive to bypass a secret ballot.
His blatant sell out to his big union donors, and his absolute refusal to justify his position on EFCA in any debate should make it clear to every suburban dweller in the 3rd that Madia is not ready for any political office much less a U.S. congressional seat. Recent revelations about his campaign’s sleazy campaign tactics only emphasize my opinion.
I hate to say this, but I wish now that Terri Bonoff would have won the DFL endorsement. I doubt that her position on EFCA would be any different, but I doubt that she would have allowed the blatant exploitation of female staffers just to woo Veterans.
