Washington, D.C. — Today, Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC), announced his endorsement of David Gottfried for the Minnesota House of Representatives. This endorsement is part of the NDRC’s Democracy Defenders program, a campaign supporting candidates running for state-level offices critical to safeguarding and strengthening democracy.

Eric H. Holder, Jr., the 82nd Attorney General of the United States and Chairman of the NDRC, released the following statement endorsing David Gottfried for the Minnesota House:

“Since their anti-democracy, pro-special interest power grab in the Minnesota House, Republicans have pursued an extreme agenda by pushing unpopular and unfair policies that would slash support for the working class while cutting taxes for the wealthy. Minnesotans have a chance to stop this at the ballot box by electing David Gottfried to the state House and putting an end to the partisan chaos created by Republicans. David will put his community first, protect the rights of the people, and pursue policies that will improve the lives of all Minnesotans. Make your voice heard—this is our democracy! Vote for David Gottfried for State Representative on March 11.”
