Emmer to Hold Town Meeting with Servers

Listening tour continues, hospitality workers encouraged to participate

Tom Emmer announced today he will hold a town meeting with servers in the hospitality industry next Wednesday to listen to their concerns regarding wages, tips, taxes and health care. This week Emmer met with business owners around the state as he focused the Freedom and Prosperity Project on jobs and the economy.

“The most important issue facing the next governor is creating jobs and getting our economy back on the path to prosperity,” said Emmer. “This week we met with business owners and next week we will listen to the employees, especially servers concerned about the tip credit issue. I’m looking forward to a robust discussion.”

Molnau endorses Emmer's candidacy for Minnesota governor

01/25/2010

Lt. Gov. Carol Molnau on Monday endorsed state Rep. Tom Emmer for governor, saying he's a strong leader who knows that "less government is better than more."

"If I didn't think there was a strong candidate in this race, I'd be there," Molnau said at a Capitol news conference.

Emmer, one of seven candidates seeking the Republican nomination for governor, said Molnau's endorsement shows his campaign is gaining momentum. He said he would seek her advice since she has been part of two successful statewide campaigns.

Molnau said she had not discussed her endorsement of Emmer with Gov. Tim Pawlenty, who has said he plans to remain neutral in the race to succeed him.

She and Pawlenty are the only statewide elected Republican office holders in Minnesota.

Meanwhile, Rep. Marty Seifert announced that Republican National Committeewoman Evie Axdahl, of Maplewood, has joined his gubernatorial campaign's leadership team.
