Why I Voted for Blaha for State Auditor

Polls don't vote. News coverage doesn't vote.  People do.  Get out there and make your voice heard.

Last day of early voting is Monday 11/7.  Last day to vote is Election Day on Tuesday 11/8. 

The Minnesota Secretary of State's website has all the information you need to vote, including how to register on the day you vote, if you haven't already gotten yourself registered.  Minnesota makes it so easy to vote, so please do.

The "What's On My Ballot?" tool shows you everyone running for each office that's on your ballot where you live and vote, and if there are candidate websites, it gives you the link to them to learn more about them.  It's amazingly helpful for doing your homework on who to vote for (and who NOT to vote for). 

First of all, Blaha's already in the job and doing the job.  I voted for her in the primary as well.

She has a background in both labor and education

Her endorsements include labor groups, women's groups, LGBTQ equality groups, and even a pro-marijuana group, which, considering two of her challengers are from two different pro-pot legalization parties, is kinda interesting.

Her other opponent's rational for his candidacy is "vote for me, I'm a businessman and a lawyer" - he thinks he's qualified so that should be enough, right?  No experience in actually doing the job for which he wants your vote so... sorry, dude, hard pass.
