“Steve represents the kind of candidate I’ve been proud to support throughout my career,” Mondale said in a statement. “He is a hard working, service-oriented person who will govern with fiscal responsibility and an eye for opportunity. In this era of reactionary and incendiary politics, Steve’s optimism and common sense will allow him to reach across the aisle and get results for the people in his district. I am pleased to endorse Steve Cwodzinski for Minnesota Senate.”

Vice President Walter Mondale is one of the most well-known and respected political figures in Minnesota.  Throughout his distinguished career, Vice President Mondale routinely put his constituents above party.

As a popular two-term governor of Minnesota, Governor Carlson worked across party lines to pass meaningful legislation to grow the economy and improve the lives of every day Minnesotans.

“Minnesota has a reputation as a good-government state, a place where reasonable people can enact reasonable policies. Steve Cwodzinski is just that kind of reasonable person.” Carlson said in his endorsement. “Steve has the open minded, common sense approach that will rise above partisan gridlock and focus on the challenges and opportunities facing Minnesota families. And, importantly, Steve is personally committed to sound, long-term financial planning that ends the cycle of crisis budget cuts and surplus spending. Steve Cwodzinski will serve the people of his district with integrity and prudence.”

“I’m honored by the endorsement of two of Minnesota’s pre-eminent statesmen.” Steve Cwodzinski said. “Both Governor Carlson and Vice President Mondale are champions of good governance and real world role models of a bi-partisan approach. In a political arena full of gridlock and winner-take-all politics, these endorsements represent the hope and passion I will bring to the Minnesota Senate. I look forward to meeting the challenges ahead and creating new opportunities for Minnesota families to thrive.”

Governor Carlson will join Steve Cwodzinski at a meet and greet event for campaign volunteers on Saturday, October 22 at the Minnetonka Community Center. Governor Carlson and Steve Cwodzinski will give brief remarks and take questions before a volunteer training and door knock.
