The money is a rolling in Minnesota's political circles.

On Tuesday, the first day that organizations and candidates had to report if they received significant political contributions, Education Minnesota's PAC reported it got $160,000 from Education Minnesota and the AFL-CIO's Working America Minnesota's political action fund reported that labor-friendly WIN Minnesota's political action fund had transferred $100,000 to it. The money moves are designed to put the cash where it is needed in the final weeks of the election season.
