Atkins: Surprise Endorsement Made My Day
I didn't think the list of endorsements I received the last few weeks could get any better… until I got home recently and took a look at my driveway.

I didn’t think the list of endorsements I received the last few weeks could get any better… until I got home recently and took a look at my driveway.
First, Minnesota’s Nurses endorsed my bid for re-election a few weeks back. Minnesota’s Police and Peace Officers then threw their support my way. Finally, as reported in the Patch earlier this week, Minnesota’s Firefighters endorsed my candidacy. Nurses, police, firefighters – it was like the “Triple Crown” of endorsements.
But perhaps the best endorsement of all was awaiting me recently when I got home from a long day. It was etched in chalk on my driveway. I’ve included a photo of what I found. It probably helps that my daughter, Katie, is a member of Simley High School’s Class of 2015 :)

Thanks to the members and artists of the Class of 2015 who chalked my driveway. Even if you aren’t old enough to vote, you definitely made my day!
