R. T. Rybak Posts Very Strong Showing Statewide in Caucus Preference Poll
As results pour in, Rybak shows strength in Duluth, suburbs, core cities, with more to come
February 2, 2010 (Minneapolis, MN) — With roughly half the precincts reporting, Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak is showing strongly across Minnesota.
Mayor Rybak said:
“Minnesotans are expecting real results from their leaders and candidates, not more excuses. They’re looking for something different, not the same old politics that has gotten us nowhere.
“I’m very encouraged by our strong showing tonight because it shows that people across Minnesota are connecting with our record of getting solid, measurable results in putting people to work and making people’s lives better. It shows people are connecting with our demonstrated ability to change the same old politics and restore faith in our common purpose."
“And it shows that people are connecting with us in every corner of Minnesota , from Duluth to Hutchinson to Minnetonka to Eagan. We’ve been out meeting folks in every corner of our state, talking honestly about what we can accomplish together when we change our politics and put people and jobs first.
Campaign manager Tina Smith said:
“The nuts and bolts of our campaign are working at full strength. Tonight's strong results are a tribute to the grassroots energy of hundreds of volunteers who made many thousands of calls in just the last three days and connected with caucus-goers across Minnesota. We've turned out people in every county and senate district who are ready to go the distance for a campaign that offers a real difference and real change.
"Tonight's showing is also a testament to Mayor Rybak's tireless energy and passion for making Minnesota a great state once again. Even though R.T. was the last candidate to get in the race, he's been all across Minnesota — and he's only just getting started. Minnesotans everywhere are finding out that R.T. isn't afraid of a fight and won't let up until we take Minnesota back and start making it great again.”
