Edina, Bloomington Candidates Meet SD49 Supporters

Campaign Organizing Meeting and Social a Big Hit

More than 80 Senate District 49 leaders and volunteers met at the Richfield American Legion on Friday evening, May 13.  The senate district leadership convened first to discuss preparations for the Minnesota legislative races as well as for the US House campaign in Congressional District 5.

A number of additional volunteers joined the senate district leaders to informally get acquainted and talk about opportunities as summer approaches.
