Minneapolis, MN (01/13/14) Businessman Dennis Nguyen, candidate for Minnesota Secretary of State, released a list of 40 endorsements from members of the Minnesota House of Representatives today. Nguyen comments, I am humbled and honored to be endorsed from such a large and diverse group of Minnesota State Representatives. They represent every corner of our great state: from the Twin Cities, to the suburbs, and to rural Minnesota. They understand that we need to elect a Secretary of State who has the requisite skill-set to assist with getting Minnesotas economy moving forward. In addition, using today's technology, we will expand elections access while simultaneously ensuring election integrity. The recent announcement brings the campaign's total legislative endorsements to 63. On December 2nd, the campaign announced endorsements from 23 State Senators representing every corner of Minnesota. Representative Mike Beard (Shakopee) states, The Secretary of State office deals with business services and elections administration. Dennis entire professional experience has been in the private sector. He is a solutions-oriented, non-political businessman. As such, he will bring a fresh set of eyes to and will revitalize the workings of, our state government. Representative Steve Drazkowski (Mazeppa) adds, I am so excited about Dennis candidacy. He has worked hard to bring together conservatives, libertarians, and

moderates, positioning our Republican Party well for victory in November. He has secured overwhelming support of members of the House Republican Caucus after just 2 months of campaigning - indicating the depth and breadth of support for his candidacy. I look forward to campaigning with him in the upcoming months. The 40 Representatives are: Rep. Jim Abeler Rep. Tony Albright Rep. Mark Anderson Rep. Paul Anderson Rep. Bob Barrett Rep.
