The Independence Party of Minnesota has endorsed Steve Sarvi, the DFL-endorsed candidate, for the Second Congressional District seat now held by Republican Rep. John Kline.
In a recent news release, the Sarvi campaign said that the Independence Party endorses candidates from different parties when they don't have one from their own, but the candidate must agree with at least 75 percent of the party's key issues and meet several other qualifications.
"I'm proud to have this endorsement," Sarvi said in the release, "and I look forward to having the Independence Party as an integral part of our team working for victory."
The Independence Party has also endorsed DFL candidate Elwyn Tinklenberg for the Sixth Congressional District seat now occupied by Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann.
