ENDORSEMENTS AND SUPPORTERS:

FORMAL ENDORSEMENTS:
Mike welcomes the formal endorsements of the following individuals and newspapers.

Lynn and Ed Fallon of The Fallon Forum radio show on 98.3 WOW-FM (May 24, 2010) -

“Lynn and I are excited to throw our resources and radio voices behind Mike. As a guest on our radio show last month, we were very impressed with the way Mike handled tough questions about pressing issues. He’s hands down the most progressive candidate in this race, and the fifth district’s best bet to beat Steve King.”

Storm Lake Times (March 12, 2010) -

“We had the fortunate opportunity to meet with Mike Denklau, a genuine, smart and hard-working Iowa native who is running for Congress this November... But Denklau brings a unique and valuable set of skills and insights that would make him a tremendous congressman... Denklau supports comprehensive health care reform, unlike King. He believes that Congress must act with a strong and bold jobs bill to get unemployed Western Iowans working again. And the federal government can do more to support the states in education... He is an apparently sincere man who wants to make Western Iowa a better place. Why not give him a chance? We will.”

Roger Wendt, Iowa House District 2 Representative (January 27, 2010) -

“As the Chair of the Iowa State House of Representatives Education Committee, I believe Mike is the kind of representative we need to strengthen and improve our education system. His experience as a college instructor, as well as his past work with middle school and high school students, gives him the perspective we need in Washington, and I look forward to working with him as an elected member of Congress.”

Berkley Bedell, Former U.S. Congressman (October 15, 2009) -

“As a businessman and lifelong resident of western Iowa, I know how much work there is to be done on behalf of Iowans in the 5th Congressional District. Mike Denklau has the drive, energy and vision to move our district in a new and positive direction. Mike has the perspective and finance experience we need in our Washington representation. Most importantly, as a native Iowan, he will be an enthusiastic fighter on behalf of all Iowans, regardless of party affiliation. Please join me in supporting Mike’s campaign to deliver change and restore Iowa values in Congress.”
