Do you respect your governor?

[Bjorn Against]

84. My Governor is a great person

I am from Minnesota and our Governor Mark Dayton has to be one of the best governors in the nation. I don't always agree with him, but I know from personal experience he has a really big heart. One of my friends worked on his campaign and just three days before the primary election a drunk driver hit her car head on and both her and her boyfriend at the time were very seriously injured. Mark Dayton was up at the hospital for hours to be by her family's side despite the fact that it was a crucial point in the campaign. He did not try to make a campaign issue out of the help he was giving her family, he could have exploited the situation for votes but he chose not to. Instead he very quietly gave the family enormous support even though it was an extremely busy and crucial moment in the campaign he chose to support my friends in their most difficult time, for that he will always have my respect and support.
