The 30,000 members of SEIU Minnesota today announced their endorsement of DFL gubernatorial candidate Mark Dayton in a Capitol news ceremony. Dayton has outlined a clear plan to grow jobs by investing in infrastructure and clean energy and will ensure the richest Minnesotans pay their fair share of taxes.

Meanwhile, Republican candidate Tom Emmer voted against putting 27,000 Minnesotans back to work on needed infrastructure projects and against extending unemployment benefits to Minnesotans who have lost jobs in the recession.
