Women for Franken
Posted in Blog on July 14th, 2008
Franni, Thomasin, State Auditor Rebecca Otto and others kicked off Women for Franken at the State Capitol on Wednesday. KARE 11 has an article up describing the launch of “a special initiative geared to harnessing the power of his female backers.” From the article:
“We’re here as women, as mothers and daughters and sisters, as professionals, but mostly as Minnesotans,” Representative Erin Murphy of Saint Paul remarked, “We’re with our friend Al and we’re going to be with him every step of the way to make sure he’s elected.”
…
Franken, thanked his wife Franni and daughter Thomasin for their help on the campaign trail, and vowed to make women’s issues a priority. “I want to stand with them not just on reproductive health, domestic violence and discrimination issues,” Franken explained, “But on issues that affect every woman and indeed every Minnesotan trying to put a kid through college or pay for health care, trying to fill a car with gas or pay down credit card debt.”
