 <description>&lt;p&gt;A Burnsville DFLer who wanted to get his party&#039;s endorsement to unseat U.S. Rep. John Kline has dropped out of the race. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Dan Powers, a construction contractor, said he&#039;ll back Steve Sarvi in the 2nd Congressional District race.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Sarvi is also from Burnsville and an Iraq war veteran with 19 years of military experience and experiece as a city administrator.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Powers announced his decision Friday. He said that DFLers need to unite, and that Sarvi is the candidate who can beat Kline, a third-term Republican.
&lt;/p&gt;
