At the Duluth Central Labor Meeting on April 14, labor body delegates voted overwhelmingly to endorse Erik Simonson for State Senate. A press conference was held on Monday to make the announcement, which included representatives from the Minnesota Professional Firefighters, Teamsters Joint Council 32 and Education Minnesota.
The labor unions have been working with Rep. Simonson for four years, but many of the union leaders remember him from his days in the union. Rep. Simonson said their endorsement is very important to him.
"These men and women represent working families all across the Northland," Rep. Simonson said. "It's an honor to have their endorsement and support because it tells me they have trust in me and that we've worked well together."
Rep. Simsonson has served two terms in Minnesota's House of Representatives where he led the legislative effort to prevent the sale of synthetic drugs. He has also been endorsed by The DFL Veteran's Caucus, The DFL Feminist Caucus, The Sierra Club, OutFront Minnesota Action and Conservation Minnesota.
