Jeffers Makes It Official: Will Seek GOP Endorsement

St. Paul, MN – April 25, 2006 – Sue Jeffers will make an official announcement, Thursday, April 27 at 12:00 o'clock noon that she will seek the Republican Party endorsement for governor. The announcement will be held in the Rotunda of the State Capitol Building. Voters of all parties are invited to join Sue in this effort to make People Before Politics a reality.

Although Jeffers has not officially accepted the Libertarian Party endorsement, she is seeking support from various parties, in order to win this election. Since no one is challenging Tim Pawlenty from within the GOP, Jeffers had no other choice but to enter the race.

Sue believes the Republican party no longer represents the principles it once stood for – freedom and personal rights, smaller, affordable, and effective government.

Jeffers, who worked on the Pawlenty campaign in 2002, said "Take a look at the voting records for our elected officials and ask yourself if it sounds like the Republican platform? Apparently, anyone is welcome to run as a Republican unless you are Sue Jeffers and want to challenge Tim Pawlenty's record."

"The Republican leadership thought I could run for every other office as a Republican, just not governor. Now they want to play insider games, and try to change the rules on a whim, to prevent a new voice from being heard. Thankfully those days are over, and the general public and Republican delegates will not tolerate it."

Four years with a Republican governor, Republican House, and a split Senate have not changed Minnesota for the better. Instead, Minnesota is still on the top ten list for one of the highest taxed states in the nation. "I know we can do better. We deserve better."
