Longtime DFL activist and AFSCME Field Representative Marsh Stenersen is running for the House of Representatives in Duluth’s 7B district. We broke that story here on Saturday. Here is Stenersen’s statement that he’s releasing today:
PEOPLE NOT POLITICS.
That’s what this election is all about. I’m running for those people who have heard too many politicians make promises that have left them living from paycheck to paycheck..
I’m running to serve the people of my district, NOT to use them as a STEPPING STONE to future office.
I’m running to fight for health care for everyone…….
To make sure that folks in the twilight of their years can enjoy the peace they have worked for so long……..
I’m running to help our State regain its place as a leader in education……
And I’m running to make sure that everyone has the opportunity to earn a living wage……
Some might say, “Why should we vote for someone who represents Labor ?” My answer is that I’m proud of having worked to help workers try to gain their share of the American Dream. If you believe someone should not be elected because they support and fight for working people, don’t vote for me…
Finally, I’m running so that the people of my District can get a FAIR DEAL in St. Paul . Like my DFL predecessors Mike Jaros and Willard Munger, I believe in the people…
And like Mike and Willard, will put the people’s interests ahead of politics and ambition…
Politicians love to make promises about what they’ll do when elected. I will make only one promise…
I promise to work as hard as I can to be a real voice for the hard working people of this district…
