DFL reaction to Enteza dropping out of AG race

STATEMENT OF MINNESOTA DFL CHAIR BRIAN MELENDEZ ON MATT ENTENZA

ST. PAUL (7/18/06) – “For twelve years, Matt Entenza has been a tireless advocate for Minnesota families and for the DFL Party’s progressive values. As a legislator, he fought the Republican leadership for the health care reforms that we desperately need, for the schools that our children deserve and for the consumer protections that Minnesotans demand. As House DFL Leader, he began the march to win back the House of Representatives, recapturing 14 seats in the last election. He has consistently stood up to the failures of Governor Pawlenty, Speaker Sviggum and the Republican machine.

“When the filing deadline passes today, I expect that several excellent candidates will be seeking the DFL nomination, especially when the Republican Party is pushing a known corporate minion. The State Party will meet in mid-August to endorse one of these fine Minnesotans for the office of Attorney General.”
