Brian Sullivan and Vin Weber with Rep. Tom Emmer

Former Congressman Vin Weber and Republican National Committeeman Brian Sullivan endorsed Tom Emmer for governor today in a press conference at the state capitol. The latest endorsements give Emmer strong momentum heading into Saturday with forty-four local districts selecting delegates to the state convention.

“As a business owner, I’m supporting Tom because I know he has the strength to make the tough decisions we need to return our state to prosperity,” said Sullivan. “As a Republican activist, I want Tom Emmer at the top of our ticket to attract the independents and conservative Democrats we need to win in 2010.”

“There is a lot at stake for the future of Minnesota in the 2010 election and I believe Tom Emmer is the right choice to lead our state in these challenging economic times,” said Weber. “As Minnesotans come to know him more, they’ll appreciate his authenticity, his passion and his work ethic.”

Today’s endorsements add to the list of elected officials already supporting Emmer which now totals eighteen current state legislators and Lt. Governor Carol Molnau.

“I am honored to have the support of these influential Minnesotan leaders and our campaign will benefit greatly from their experience and expertise,” said Emmer.
