The Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association said today it has endorsed Democrat Mark Dayton in the race for governor. The group represents 8,500 police officers. It says after screening all announced candidates the decision to endorse Dayton was unanimous.
"Selecting Mark was easy, since he most closely represents our views and is committed to helping us perform our duties across the state," said the group's president Marty Earley, a Bloomington police sergeant.
The Police and Peace Officers Association also endorsed Dayton for U.S. Senate in 2000.
