Gardner Endorses Kroger
By Lauren LafaroEndorsement day continues with the word from Attorney General John Kroger’s camp that the candidate has received the support of Bureau of Labor and Industries Commissioner Dan Gardner.
"I need someone in the AG's office that I can trust, who believes in what I'm doing, and who will be there for me with excellent legal advice when I need it,” said Gardner in a statement.
Gardner’s support is the latest indication that Kroger will carry most of the union backing in his bid for AG. The candidate has also secured the endorsement of the SEIU and a number of Carpenters Local Unions, which comprise all of the labor endorsements thus far.
