Senator Boxer will open one of 6 New Obama Campaign for Change Offices in the State

ST. PAUL – U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, the Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Ethics will campaign in Shakopee, Minnesota, today, opening one of 6 new campaign offices across the state.  Several of the new offices are located in traditionally Republican areas where Democratic Presidential candidates have not successfully contended in recent elections.

Senator Boxer will speak to volunteers and supporters at the new Campaign for Change office, helping to build a groundswell of local support for the campaign’s upcoming massive Get Out the Vote operation.

“Senator Boxer has been a tireless advocate for working Americans over her distinguished career in the Senate.  She will be a strong voice to highlight the stark contrast between Senator Obama’s plans to restore the economy and John McCain’s offer of more of the same failed Bush policies of the last eight years,” Minnesota State Director Jeff Blodgett said.

“With Get Out the Vote just around the corner, the new office openings show our ambitious ground game is strong, and growing.”

New Obama Offices.

Hispanic Business Leader Richard Aguilar From Minnesota Endorses John McCain

HISPANIC BUSINESS LEADERS ENDORSE JOHN MCCAIN

ARLINGTON, VA -- McCain-Palin 2008 today announced the support of more than 50 influential Hispanic business leaders from across the country. They will work to communicate John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin's economic plan which will create jobs, ensure energy security, reform government spending and bring relief to American consumers.

"I am supporting John McCain because he has always done what is right for all Americans," said Mary Jean Duran of California, "He will continue to give Hispanic-American-owned small businesses the opportunity to compete in the global markets, while Barack Obama proposes billions in higher taxes, more spending and isolationism from global economy."

Jerry Natividad from Colorado added, "John McCain will fight to ensure the American dream is still achievable for us and for our children. He has a plan to get our economy back on track, create jobs, and keep people in their homes. He understands that small businesses are the job engine of America. Our economy simply cannot afford Barack Obama's plans for trade, health care, taxes, and energy."
