Al Franken has received two big endorsements for his U.S. Senate campaign in advance of the Feb. 5 precinct caucuses, Education Minnesota (almost all of Minnesota’s K-12 and college teachers, including my local) and Operating Engineers, Local 49.
It had seemed that labor was splitting between Franken and Ciresi. This changes the equation quite a bit and gives Franken an edge in union organization, one of the key factors for building a delegate count. This one isn’t over yet, but Ciresi or Nelson-Pallmeyer would need to answer with some game changing material to stop Franken’s endorsement at this point.
