Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey weighed into the Minnesota Senate race with an endorsement for the Democratic primary‘s more centrist candidate, Rep. Angie Craig (D-MN), ahead of the state’s Aug. 11 primaries.

“Angie is relentless,” Frey wrote in his endorsement statement. “She’s tough, she’s tested, and she is exactly who we need in Washington. I met Angie while working in furtherance of marriage equality. She was a fighter for justice then, and will never quit fighting for what’s right.”
