"I am endorsing Doug Mann for Mayor because I believe he is the best candidate to represent the interests of the citizens in Minneapolis Giving taxpayer money for the Viking stadium is nothing less than corporate welfare and Doug is courageous in demanding a referendum by the people on this. He is highly intelligent and has worked hard to educate others against racism and would work diligently in regard to his constituents interests."
Dave Bicking Past Green Party endorsed candidate for 9th ward city council

I endorse Doug Mann for Mayor of Minneapolis as well. While almost everyone else is saying the Vikings Stadium is a done deal, Doug Mann filed a lawsuit,a Writ of Mandamus to stop it. He did it on his own, pro-se, without an attorney or anyone elses backing. This is the kind of courage and leadership Minneapolis needs.
ReplyDeleteHe has also pledged to bring a totally out of control police department under control by appointing some of the MPD's most severe critics to an oversight board. Again this is the kind of leadership Minneapolis needs.
