| Description | DFL Candidate for Governor Mark Dayton announced today that his Running Mate for Lieutenant Governor is Duluth State Senator Yvonne Prettner Solon. In announcing her selection, Dayton said, "I am very proud to introduce the woman I believe will be Minnesota's next Lieutenant Governor, Senator Yvonne Prettner Solon. I am deeply grateful that she is willing to leave the Minnesota Senate, where she has been such an outstanding leader and superb public servant for her constituents in Duluth, to gain an even more important leadership position on behalf of all the people of Minnesota.
Dayton continued, "Yvonne is the first and only person I asked to be my Running Mate. She fits perfectly my priorities for that important Constitutional Office. I want a Lieutenant Governor who will be a strong partner with me in leading our state toward a better future. Senator Prettner Solon brings her extensive experience in both state and local government. Her very thoughtful, sensitive, and visionary leadership and public service are further informed by her life experiences, which have forged a woman I deeply respect and admire.
"I look forward to our creating together a 'Senior Citizens Service Center' within the Office of the Lieutenant Governor, which will provide Minnesota's seniors with one toll-free number they can call with any problems they are having with state government. As Lieutenant Governor, Yvonne will also play a key role in working with the Minnesota Legislature to pass our Administration's legislative initiatives."
Senator Prettner Solon said, "I am honored to have been asked by Mark Dayton to be his Running Mate. I have always admired him for his incredible integrity. I know that he is not running because he needs to be Governor, but because he cares deeply for the people of Minnesota and he knows what needs to be done to put our state back on track. One need only spend a short time with him to understand how genuine he is and what deep sincerity motivates hi |
