Governor

Mike Hatch. After a distinguished stint as Minnesota’s Attorney General, Hatch is ready to govern Minnesota. We trust him to guide Minnesota in the right directiončaway from Pawlenty’s cuts to social services, support of anti-gay marriage amendments and conceal and carry permits. Hatch will support working-class Minnesotans (he is endorsed by several unions, including the Minnesota Nurse's Association and Teamsters Joint Council 32) and affordable college education, both of which are areas of great concern to us. Hatch will open the doors for funding stem cell research, a priceless gift to many Minnesotans afflicted with debilitating illnesses.
