SAINT PAUL [2/4/06] – The Al Franken for U.S. Senate campaign is thrilled to announce the support of two Greater Minnesota leaders: former state Rep. Doug Peterson and state Sen. Rod Skoe (DFL – Clearbrook). And in the metro, Al received the support of Ramsey County Commissioner Rafael Ortega.

Doug Peterson released the following statement:

“Al has been very active and everywhere in rural Minnesota. He’s been very involved in rural issues and genuinely cares about helping Minnesota farmers and rural communities.”

Sen. Rod Skoe said:

“Minnesota is concerned about what’s inside a candidate. And Al has the internal fortitude to stand up to Washington and make the changes necessary to improve our country and our state.”
