BREAKING NEWS FROM THE CLARK CAMPAIGN
Sen. Tarryl Clark wins decisive first ballot endorsement of DFL Party
This weekend womenwinning endorsed candidate State Senator Tarryl Clark became the Democratic-Farmer-Labor (DFL) Party’s candidate for Congress in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District, securing the endorsement in a decisive first ballot vote of the delegates at this weekend’s convention. As the Party’s endorsed candidate, Clark has the full backing of the Minnesota DFL Party and all its resources – including an army of volunteers - between now and the election.
“Washington isn’t working for Minnesota families, and neither is Michele Bachmann,” said Clark. “I’m ready to do the work and be the advocate the people of the Sixth District deserve. I’ve spent my entire life standing up for our values on the issues that matter, and I’m proud to have a record of delivering results for people.”
The first ballot victory, earning the support of a super-majority of delegates, reflects the success of Clark’s grassroots campaign. Clark has secured every endorsement in this race, including teachers, nurses, students, women, organized labor and progressive organizations. Clark has been amongst the top-fundraising challengers nationally, already building a base of more than 7,000 individual contributors.
Clark noted that her volunteers begin the campaign immediately, with doorknocks fanning out across the district beginning at Noon tomorrow from the campaign’s St. Cloud headquarters.
“Our grassroots campaign has reached out to every corner of this district, and I’m proud to have earned their overwhelming support,” said Clark. “Today -- together -- we begin in earnest the fight to bring an end to Michele Bachmann’s agenda. Michele Bachmann is free to pursue her agenda on her own time, but no longer on the people’s dime.”
In securing the endorsement today, Clark defeated former Independence Party candidate Dr. Maureen Reed, who was also seeking the Party’s endorsement.
Clark was elected to the Senate in a special election in 2005, and re-elected in 2006 by double-digit margins. She represents the St. Cloud area. In the Senate, Clark has been a leader focused on creating jobs, ensuring opportunity for children and families, and supporting our veterans and military families. She’s built a record of results on issues from protecting consumers to education to creating affordable, accessible health care.

Women's groups call out political sexism
September 1, 2010
WashingtonPost.com, By Krissah THompson
The list includes the talk radio host who called a female senator a "prostitute" for cutting a deal to benefit her state, the male challenger who referred to his female rival "attractive" and "probably a good mother," and the TV host who noted that the candidate's wife looked like an angry woman. | Read More
Of Mama Grizzly Born?

NYTimes.com, by Gail Collins and Stacy Schiff
Gail Collins: Stacy, it’s great to be conversing with you while David Brooks is on vacation. It’s the first time I’ve had a woman to talk with in this format.
Stacy Schiff: I’m delighted that David takes a vacation.
Gail Collins: I can’t resist the temptation to talk about women in politics even though I know we should be counterintuitive and debate the use of drones in antiterrorism operations. | Read More

Minnesota Governor Q+A:
Margaret Anderson Kelliher

July 20, 2010
Why should voters choose you over your opponent?
As Governor I will do everything it takes to get Minnesota back to work. Almost 204,000 Minnesotans are unemployed. Thousands more are underemployed, working harder and earning less.
As Governor I will build a budget based on Minnesota’s highest priorities – focused on what we will achieve as a state, not just how we resolve the deficit. | Read More
Minnesota Voices: Women still have a long way to go
Startribune.com by J. Brian Atwood June 27th, 2010
Who owns the future? Men or women? That question was on some minds last week as a provocative report on the status of women in Minnesota was released by the Minnesota Women's Foundation and the University of Minnesota Humphrey Institute's Center for Women and Public Policy. Television satirist Stephen Colbert even got into the act, interviewing the author of this month's lead story in the Atlantic magazine, "The End of Men." | Read More
Click: When We Knew We Were Feminists
Huffingtonpost.com by Marcia G. Yerman June 16, 2010
A number of years ago, I had a part-time gig at an elementary school where I taught afterschool classes in art and film classics. One warm June day, it was decided that the kids could spend thirty minutes in the playground. As I watched a scene that was a combination of raw energy and mayhem, I observed a small girl of about eight years old walking away from the three-tiered jungle gym. She was crying. I quickly approached her to find out what the problem was. She pointed to a skinny boy with black hair perched at the pinnacle of the metal bars. He was grinning proudly. She said, "He told me only boys were allowed at the top." | Read More
Women scarce on Sunday shows
Politico.com by Erika Lovley June 14, 2010
“If it’s Sunday, it’s more men wearing dark suits.” So far, none of the five major Sunday morning television news shows has embraced that as a promotional slogan. But women’s advocates — armed with new data showing that the shows are a bastion of male power — say it would be an apt description for the lot of them. | Read More
