The Independence Party is backing DFLer Steve Sarvi in his race against GOP Rep. John Kline in Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District. Here's part of the release from the Sarvi campaign:
"The Independence Party occasionally endorses a candidate from a different party when we do not have a candidate from our own party," said Marian Brown, Second District chair. To be cross-endorsed, the candidate must agree with at least 75 percent of our key issues and meet several other qualifications. We look forward to having Steve Sarvi represent us in Congress." The party's core values include preserving the democratic process, justice, social inclusiveness, fiscal responsibility and protecting the environment.
Sarvi isn't the only DFLer who received the IP endorsement. 6th District DFLer Elwyn Tinklenberg received the IP endorsement in June. He is running against GOP Rep. Michele Bachmann.
