In a show of mayoral solidarity, St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman on Thursday gave Minneapolis Mayor R. T. Rybak's gubernatorial run his nod.
Coleman, who had contemplated a gubernatorial bid of his own last year, called Rybak “the best person to lead the state of Minnesota, the best person to be elected governor, the best person to take the state where it needs to go.”
Rybak is vying for the DFL endorsement next week at the state convention in Duluth. Rybak said he will end his bid if he doesn't win the endorsement.
Coleman said he’s not a delegate at the convention, but his 18-year-old daughter is.
