WALTER F. MONDALE

Dear Jacob,

Together, we've supported causes and campaigns over the years, many of them near and dear to our hearts.  But few campaigns present us with the opportunity to make as significant a change as in Minnesota's 6th Congressional District.

That's why I'm supporting Tarryl Clark in her campaign for Congress.  And I hope you'll join me today.

I believe that Tarryl Clark can lead the 6th District in a new direction.  She will unite us behind positive solutions - a stark change from the controversial comments and partisan rancor we've seen over the past few years.  She will focus her time and efforts on listening to her constituents and turning ideas into action.  

She's already done it here in Minnesota.  Tarryl is a vigorous campaigner and a tireless leader in the Minnesota Senate.

As a community advocate and then as a State Senator, Tarryl has always stood up for Minnesota's working families.  From raising the minimum wage to ensuring our seniors aren't scammed by predatory lenders; from ensuring access to early childhood education to investing in our state's treasured colleges and universities; from strengthening reintegration services for our returning veterans to building our transportation infrastructure, Tarryl has always fought for our families and our communities.

I'm proud to call Tarryl my friend, and I know that she will make a tremendous Member of Congress.

But to get there, she needs your support today.

I hope you will join me in supporting Tarryl's campaign for Congress.  Your contribution of $250, $100, $50, or whatever you can afford will help ensure Tarryl's campaign is off to a strong start.

Minnesota has a long tradition of electing people with a deep-rooted belief in public service.  Tarryl Clark will continue that tradition, and I ask you to join me in supporting her campaign.

Sincerely,

Walter F. Mondale

p.s.  Tarryl's first fundraising deadline is tomorrow - September 30th.  Please join me in supporting Tarryl's campaign and make your contribution today.
