WASHINGTON, D.C. — Minnesota Democratic Reps. Keith Ellison, Collin Peterson and Jim Oberstar appear to be early supporters of state Sen. Tarryl Clark’s campaign to be the DFL nominee in the 6th District.

According to third quarter campaign finance reports, the three Democratic representatives gave a total of $5,000 to Clark’s campaign in September. Ellison’s campaign contributed $1,000 while Peterson and Oberstar’s campaigns gave $2,000 each.

Their campaigns did not contribute to Dr. Maureen Reed, who is Clark’s competition for the DFL ticket in the 6th District — a seat held by Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann.
