‘Peoples-leader’ Kelliher endorsed by IBEW

In an endorsement worded as if it was translated from the German, the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Minnesota State Council is backing the Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives for governor. Said union president Tom Koehler: “Minnesota needs a peoples-leader and we believe that person, that peoples-leader is Margaret Anderson Kelliher.”

On Monday Kelliher earned the support of former Gov. Wendell Anderson (presumably no relation), whose endorsement lingo was less redolent of a Volkswagen slogan: “Margaret Anderson Kelliher is a proven leader, ready to guide our state toward long-term solutions.”
