Dahlberg formally announces U.S. Senate campaign

On September 26, 2013, Chris Dahlberg (MA '98) formally kicked off his U.S. Senate campaign to challenge incumbent U.S. Senator Al Franken.

An excerpt from Politics Now article:

"Dahlberg is positioning himself as a candidate with crossover appeal who can win a statewide election. He stresses his track record of winning elections in the DFL stronghold of St. Louis County, which includes Duluth.

"We need to appeal to a wider range of voters," Dahlberg said in a statement announcing his candidacy. "Any credible Republican can get support in strong Republican districts, but what good does that do? We need a candidate who's not only a strong fiscal conservative, but one who has also proven an ability to appeal to Democrats and independents."
