The best way I can have my voice heard in Washington is to respond to the people in the 6th District.

Amy has demonstrated that she will be a strong, effective voice for the fight I believe in -- protecting our children, building safer communities, and seeing that every Minnesotan has access to a good education and quality health care.

I am therefore taking myself out of the United States Senate race to make sure we come together, pull resources and unite our efforts to win in November of this year. It's so important that we keep Senator Dayton's seat in Democratic hands.
