DFL -endorsed gubernatorial candidate Margaret Anderson Kelliher continues to rack up the union endorsements.

On Tuesday, her campaign announced she'd gotten the nod from the Communications Workers of America MInnesota State Council, the president of which praised Kelliher for her "commitment to bringing high-speed broadband to every community in Minnesota."

The endorsement adds to a her long list of union nods including: AFSCME 65; Education Minnesota; International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Minnesota State Council; International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 49; Laborers District Council of Minnesota; Minnesota Association of Professional Employees; Minnesota Nurses Association; United Auto Workers of Minnesota; UNITE HERE! and the North Central States Regional Council of Carpenters.

DFL primary rival Mark Dayton has picked up fewer labor supporters but can count unions among his friends as well -- among them AFSCME Council 5; the United Steelworkers, Teamsters Joint Council 32 and the Minnesota Police and Peace Officers Association.

On Wednesday, one of them may add the Minnesota AFL-CIO to their list of backers. The union federation's political committee will meet to screen the two and IP's Tom Horner. DFLer Matt Entenza completed a questionnaire but will not screen.
