Sabo Support
During the 2006 primary run, departing Representative Sabo had endorsed and donated money to the campaign of his longtime chief of staff, Mike Erlandson. When Ellison won the primary and his campaign manager contacted him, Sabo said that he “wouldn't be supporting anyone in the race”. Sabo donated funds to the general election campaigns of many Minnesota Democrats, including Coleen Rowley, Patty Wetterling, Tim Walz, and Amy Klobuchar, but none to Ellison. Sabo did not publicly endorse anyone, but allowed a picture of himself with Independence candidate Tammy Lee to be used in her campaign. Some Democrats were disappointed in Sabo’s silence on their chosen candidate.
