WP:POLITICIAN is irrelevant, since he easily passes GNG - in that he has significant coverage from multiple independent reliable sources http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&btnmeta_news_search=1&q=Michael+Brodkorb&oq=Michael+Brodkorb&aq=f&aqi=d1d-o1&aql=&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=2693l5884l0l18327l16l15l0l7l3l0l161l705l4.4l8l0#q=Michael+Brodkorb&hl=en&gl=us&tbs=ar:1&tbm=nws&ei=eycPT9PwL8ihsQKF4-DsAw&start=0&sa=N&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.,cf.osb&fp=d4a8a8a74a643886&biw=1051&bih=667, several of which I have added to the article. http://www.minnpost.com/cyndybrucato/2011/12/21/33998/stadium_politics_played_role_in_koch_and_brodkorb_dismissal_insiders_say This reference says that he and Koch were "the two most powerful people in the Minnesota Senate."
