State Central Members,
I felt I should contact you all about my support for Jacob Grippen as our Secretary. I have known and worked with Jake in various capacities since early in the 2008 campaign. I did a lot of calling and knocking under his guidance in that campaign (he worked as a field organizer for the Coordinated Campaign) he also was involved with the Franken recount as an organizer. In 2010 Jake became the Chair in Houston County at about the same time I became Chair in Winona County. We work together on events and issues. Jake also decided to help out over in Wisconsin, serving as the Jennifer Shilling GOTV Canvass Director, and of course, he got me and some other Winona people to do door knocks and lit drops for her. The good part, she won.
I like working with Jake, he knows what he’s doing, he follows through with any responsibility he accepts, he pays attention to detail, and gets stuff done. I know many of my regular volunteers like working with Jake also, they happily take part. We have invited him to take part in some of our committee work because of his knowledge from the campaigns, and he is always willing to help out.
I know Jacob is not a big city guy, but that does not mean he isn’t connected or know what he is doing. I would love to see one of our young, up-and-coming DFLers from Greater Minnesota in the main office, and Jake is the guy to do a great job.
Bill Harris
Winona County Chair
