“I served as a statewide elected official and I know Tom Emmer has the strength of character to make the right decisions for our families,” said Kiffmeyer. “We need Tom’s energy and passion at the top of our ticket this fall.”

“Tom is a team player and has been an important part of the House Republican Caucus strategy of showing the citizens of Minnesota there is a better way to govern our state,” added Rep. Cornish.

“Once again, I am proud to receive these endorsements from the people who know me best – my colleagues in the House,” said Emmer. “With the convention season winding down, our momentum continues. I am confident we will surprise people with our strength at the state convention on April 30th”
