Tarryl ClarkTarryl Clark continues to rack up labor endorsements in her bid to known off U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann. The latest union to lend support is the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters.

“Tarryl Clark has been a proven leader for Minnesota’s working families,” said Kyle Makarios, political director for the council, in a statement announcing the decision. “It is important to have someone in Washington who is advocating for workers, especially in this time of economic hardship.”

Clark previously won endorsements from AFSCME Council 5 and Council 65 and the Teamsters Joint Council 32. She is battling Maureen Reed for the DFL endorsement.
