The Minnesota Chapter of the National Organization for Women announced today

that the group has endorsed a second candidate for governor. The group's PAC Board voted last night to endorse Democrat Margaret Anderson Kelliher. The PAC Board also decided over the weekend to back Democrat Matt Entenza. Minnesota NOW's PAC Board Chair Gordy Gustafson said the board reserves the right to endorse more than one candidate for office.

"An endorsement means that they are a strong supporter of women's rights and if we have multiple candidates in a race that meet that criteria, we will endorse multiple candidates."

Gustafson says the PAC Board also rated Democrat Mark Dayton but declined to offer specifics until the board notifies the campaign of the rating. Update: Gustafson says the group gave Democrat Mark Dayton a "C" rating for his positions on abortion and welfare reform.
