9/22/2009: Independence Candidates pick up labor endorsements!


Mike Tupper for ward 6 and Michael Katch in Ward 7 have picked up some labor endorsements that most often go to the DFL candidate. Michael received the Firefighers endorsement while Mike received a trade union endorsement. These are good signs as it demonstrates that IRV and the Independence Party  candidates are wearing away the fortress one-party politics in Minneapolis!




9/10/2009: The IRV Election Starts Now


This matters! One party rule in Minneapolis has had the same result of eight years of one-party rule in Washington…even if a different party. Poor government, poor services and costs that are way to high…these are all problems that are hurting residents and small businesses a like…the life blood of our great city.

Our first Instant Runoff Election is here. No primary and a campaign season that is just two months long. During that two months you will get to hear from all our candidates and stand up for the Independence message…quality local services, remarkable reform, and responsibility in government. Multi-party politics is here to stay so let’s speak up.

You matter! Your help and support of any candidate will make the difference. Our Independence campaigns are working together with campaigns from other parties…even a couple reform-minded Democrats. We have won Minneapolis elections before and have come close in others. Now, with IRV, let’s make the Independence Party the leader in reform in Minneapolis!
